Thank you, Sultana. I was just about to respond with a big ol' STFU, but you said it in a much more civilized manner.

I watched my incredibly insecure mother go through my stepdad's wallet on a regular basis, as a child. I thought it was the most invasive thing you could do to a person. My mother also snuck around to read my private journals as a child, a fact which pissed me off more than you can imagine. I could not understand her total and complete breaches of my privacy.

In my marriage, my husband and I respect each other's privacy to the hilt. We have no need to "inspect" each other's cell phones and computers... wtf??? I keep a private journal that I store on the nightstand by the bed. It's in plain sight. He could read it anytime he wants. He never does. I don't go looking through his e-mails. I never look at his phone unless my battery is dead. I just don't see any reason for being that snoopy about your partner's life, unless you are afraid they are involved in something illegal or dangerous to their or someone else's health. If you're just insecure and have a need to "know" something? Well, get the fuck into therapy and LEARN HOW TO TRUST. If your partner is doing something behind your back, you're gonna find out in one way or another. Better to find out while you're on the moral high ground of not having invaded his or her privacy while doing it.

That's all I have to say about that.
