SNOOPING through your partner’s phone is a big no-no and it may end in tears.
Therapist Dr Samantha Rodman said most people do not take too kindly to having their partner sneak through their phone trying to find proof of their misbehaviour.
In an article published on Talkspace, Rodman said some relationships end when a person finds out their partner was looking through their phone, precisely because they feel so violated.
“When you meet the right person and when you work through your trust issues, you will not have the time or inclination to check anyone’s phone but your own,” she said.
