My boyfriend has my phone password and regularly goes on my phone to watch reels or like play games, but he won’t give or let me do the same on his? Idk I think it’s weird but he said something about how his mom was invasive as a kid and it icks him

Communicate to him how you feel. Don’t be shady and go snooping because if he *does* feel actually just feel uncomfortable by it, then you’re going to be in the wrong. If he’s fine with you not giving your password then I don’t see it as anything big. I do think it’s weird he won’t let you use it, hence the conversation. You can guage by his reaction what the vibe is and if it’s good, just look through his phone.

Most times means they’re hiding smth and they often get worried abt the other person cheating while doing shit so I would def have a convo bc that doesn’t seem right.

ngl i relate on some sense, i had an ipod when i was little and my siblings would always go on it and tease me about something and it was always embarrassing. anyway in my first relationship he’d demand to see my phone and i’d say no bc it made me uncomfortable i wasn’t hiding anything/cheating but like even someone seeing an ugly pic of me would throw me off the edge 😭 turns out he was cheating and projecting it onto me😍 so i’d get where ur bf is coming from but he’s being extremely unfair

I do think a lot of guys are terrible at this age, but, I’ve had a relationship where he just didn’t like people on/looking through his phone. I checked and did a scrub of everything and he wasn’t cheating. Some people just don’t like it.

Yeah, I’ve been on his phone once and his messages, email, and safari are locked with face id but he said it was on for before we dated bc of his mom

It’s just when I have my phone out playing a game that he hasn’t seen, I’d let him play it or if I’m scrolling on insta he’ll take over and start scrolling. It’s not like he just grabs my phone rather than his

I do plan on talking to him about it, and he’s said before he’ll let me look through it when he’s there. But idk I thought I was a lil weird but some people are just quirky

that still strikes me as really strange given that he is so opposed to you being on his

He’s not worried about me cheating, I think he has this idea of snooping bc of his mom

Yeah, but, his mom is clearly invasive if he said that. If she talked to him it’ll be fine

he could easily just be lying though, that's why I'm concerned
