A small study from Revetro Gadgetology found that younger dating couples check their partner's cellphones without anyone's knowledge. Why? For traces of cheating, lying or sexting, according to the survey. The hard data:
- Under 25 and dating couples have the highest incidence of both checking cell phones without their partner's knowledge (38%) and finding evidence to prove the accusations (10%);
- Married couples have the lowest incidence of checking cell phones (36%) and discovering infidelity from said searches (3%);
- Men and women check each other's cell phones without consent about the same amount (30% and 33% respectively).
So what about you? When dating someone, is it okay to check their cell phone's history for evidence of cheating? What if you find evidence? Why or why not?

Checking on my date’s phone?
Never.
Even though I date her, she’s still
entitled to her privacy.
If You’ve gotten to the point where
you need to check you date’s phone…
Because you don’t trust him/her…
That’s the real problem right there.
Mistrust.
It doesn’t matter what you find
on your date’s phone.
You can’t build a relatuionship with
him/her anywayz if u don’t
TRUST THEM!
Well that’s what I think
Anyone else want to share his/her opinion?
so do you trust and be naive and hope that things will work in your favor?
It is a character flaw to invade someones privacy by checking their phone (or computer). The end doesn’t justify the means konshenz. Its not the only option if you suspect cheating. I would be much more likely to leave someone if I caught them snooping my phone or other personal stuff than I would if they had an affair.
wow, do u want me to assume my girlfriend would not cheat even if she spend some quality tym with his ex.
Cell phones should not be called “private” if your only talking to your friends, I see it as no problem if my partner ever wanted to check my phone. Because I have nothing to hide. There are some people that are on their phone tooooo much when they are with their partner. Which comes to the reason why people check each others phone. Other reasons can be because of someones past. Between to married couple… Can someone explain: what is private?
