Posted by CopperDovei couldnt trust them again. I'll forgive, but after that, there's Always gonna be something in the back of my head that he'll do it again.
I've never done it either. I ask for permission if I want to look at something of theirs, and they have done the same thing. Only one person (that I know of) snooped through my stuff and they admitted it shortly afterward and we discussed it and they promised not to do it again and I forgave them, and as far as I know they kept their word.
Posted by Vixen2i'm big on trust too, so maybe there is something with energy that makes us seek similiar types of partners.
I'm big on trust...if you don't have it, you got nuthin.
If you go looking, you're bound to find something you don't want to know...
I wouldn't appreciate it so..I'm not going to do it
Unless I had absolute proof of wrong doing...but I would just disuss it with my s/o first and foremost

Posted by VenusStarlol i wont even do that.
Technically I don't. I know people who do and I and I think it's awful. I tend to go through wallets and phone right in front of the significant other so we can talk about what I find. They can watch me do it or take back their belongings. I won't do it outside of their watchful eyes because I think it's low and disrespectful.


Posted by lisabethur8That's a huge violation for sure with them reading your diary. 😢 What the person I was dating did was very minor compared to that, but if he had done something like what you described, I wouldn't have been able to trust him again I'm sure. We were together for close to a decade and he's still a friend, and an honourary member of my family now. But I understand what you're saying! Some things are too much of a breach.Posted by CopperDovei couldnt trust them again. I'll forgive, but after that, there's Always gonna be something in the back of my head that he'll do it again.

just INCOMPATIBLE. so it's best to leave.
i've NEVER had to do that to my current or my ex's.
i feel it's because when i kept a diary when i was little, i was violated when my relatives had looked for it and read it. It felt like a HUGE violiation!!! i was in tears.
something i have a hard time telling to others.
i never do that to anyone else.click to expand

Posted by CaptainPimpand she was your best friend? well i understand talking about other people about other people, who they dont know. but your dear friend?? yeah that's wrong.
I only did it once. I snooped on my BFF's laptop since i had the chance. She forgot her FB open and was gone with some work. I was spending the day at her so i had a few hours to myself.
I snooped and read her messages ._. Because i did always suspect stuff.
Needless to say i got upset.
Found convo's of her talking about me to other people. It wasn't bad stuff but not nice stuff either. Complaints she never told me upfront...fake person.
And well, a lot of flirting and whatnot with other guys. A LOT of other guys.
Broke ma lil heart.
I would rather of not snooped, lol.
Posted by exxtasyxyou probably didnt trust this person. why go through the torture?
In the last relationship, yes. Go through phone, wallet, Facebook, computer search history, quietly observe their interactions with other people...

Posted by lisabethur8Never done it either. But my libra friend has no qualms about it.
do you snoop into your significant other's Phone, personal belongings and why?
i'm not, never done it,
but i notice alot of women (and maybe men) do it on this forum, (read some topics, threads ect)
Posted by xXxAliciaXxX
I did that during one relationship. I had never done that before, but I certainly never will again. Not because things ended badly, but because that's just not me. I'm not the jealous/insecure type. However, in this particular relationship I sort of lost myself. It was a toxic relationship to say the least. So yes, I've done it before, but no I'm not a snooper by nature. I would never do it again. If I feel the need to start snooping, that's my cue to exit the relationship. My intuition is enough.

Posted by lisabethur8I can imagine that's how they saw it, yes, so they didn't realize they were being hurtful. But it's good that you don't do the same with your children because you know that a diary is usually something that people want to keep private, at any age. I kept a diary starting from a young age and I did my best to keep it hidden so no one would read it. I still have all of my old diaries and last year I read some of them for the first time since I'd written the entries. It was really interesting and a lot of memories came back.Posted by CopperDovei was just a child to be honest, so they probably thought a child's thoughts and feelings aren't sacred; i wasn't even a teenager yet. i was around six-seven years old.

ill power. really. addictions are hard for many people, so they lack the willpower. 😢

you would be better to get to know someone from someone who knows them from childhood, or that alot of their family knows them, very very personally.

Posted by xXxAliciaXxXPosted by lisabethur8Trust me, this was TOTALLY out of character for me. I had never done anything of that nature before and even now as I look back on it I cringe because I know that's not me. That particular relationship was very toxic. I learned a lot from that relationship and one thing I will never do again is reduce myself to that level. I will most definitely leave if my intuition ever tells me something again. Turned out that I was right though. Everything my intuition was warning me of in that relationship was confirmed when I finally snooped.Posted by xXxAliciaXxX

my ex husband he NEVER intruded on my things either, but he was an addict.
i knew he was immoral when he is on drugs and when i'm not around. but i'm not a controlling person and he would resent me controlling. So everything was Always choice.
yes, intuition. And also watch your future boyfriend's actions. (dont know if you're with anyone now)click to expand

Posted by CopperDoveoh that, i wouldnt feel offended at all either. It DEPENDS i notice.
@lisabethur8 "that's how i see it too. Some people dont understand this concept. I bet there's even folks who open other people's mail without permission."
Yes!
I also know people who are curious in a fairly innocent way, but that can make them kind of snoopy, but not secretly, they do it right in front of people. For example, I have a relative who will open decorative boxes that I have in my living room without asking me. It isn't a big deal to me because I don't keep anything private in them, it's a public area in my home in my view, but I wouldn't do that with someone else's stuff w/o permission.
One time she asked me, "What's in here?" when she saw a new metal container in my place, but before I could answer, she opened it. Immediately she regretted it - it was compost. lol

Posted by lisabethur8Yes, diaries and phones are usually a very personal kind of property so off limits w/o permission.Posted by CopperDoveoh that, i wouldnt feel offended at all either. It DEPENDS i notice.

I gave permission to one boyfriend to read some of my old diary entries, from when I was a teenager. He really enjoyed that and said that he learned a lot about me that was helpful. But the key is that I told him that it was okay, and also I was the one to suggest it. He probably wouldn't have asked me, "can I read your diary?" knowing that it's so personal and private.click to expand

Posted by lisabethur8Some people don't know how to ask questions in a way that isn't accusatory and aggressive, so bringing something up blows up on them because their SO feels like they're being attacked, which they usually are, and that can get in the way of an open discussion. Then maybe later they fear bringing something up, not seeing that they contributed to it being an unpleasant experience.
i dont know why people are non-confrontational—
that's all there is to it. CONFRONT your FEARS.....
so many people are afraid.

Posted by CopperDoveoh yes i get you on the part of the abusive relationships. you call them out, and they will whack you upside the head, and knock you senseless. that's horrible.Posted by lisabethur8Some people don't know how to ask questions in a way that isn't accusatory and aggressive, so bringing something up blows up on them because their SO feels like they're being attacked, which they usually are, and that can get in the way of an open discussion.

In abusive relationships of course questioning a person, even when done very respectfully, can be dangerous, if the person being questioned can be volatile, but of course if there is reason to fear bringing up a question openly with an SO, that alone is a problem, no matter what the question might be - a huge red flag about that person.
And some people I think are afraid of finding out the truth. In some ways they may want to, but in others they would rather hold onto hope that they are wrong and evidence will present itself w/o them asking any questions.click to expand

Posted by lisabethur8Because people never lie about cheating, or breaking the relationship boundaries. Some people are really good liars and I think it is smart to do some snooping if you really feel like you need to know if they are lying about something you really do not want to live with. I think that finding out yourself on your own terms is better than being blissfully unaware for a while until you catch them doing that thing they know they shouldn't be doing. That's self preservation, as I see it. If you've been emotionally abused growing up it is hard to trust your own instincts, as well, after being gaslit all the time.Posted by The_eleventh_sign_11why dont you just ASK him?
