I have been dating my boyfriend for a while now. Since 6th grade. Im 16, im in the 10th grade. Hes 17 in the 11th grade. Last night, he asked to see my text messages. I simply said no. Because my thing is, its my personal bussiness, and your not entitled to see it. So he gets mad, and says that obviously im hiding something. Was i wrong for not letting him see the text messages?
But if he asked you the question and you were like "NO" within the millisecond of being asked, that is suspicious to him, so I understand where he's coming from too. But tell him to just chill and he's got nothing to worry about. :)

Him asking to see your text messages is just like him asking for you to allow him to read your mail or listen in on all of your phone conversations.
He needs to stop being so mistrusting and more respecting of your privacy. If he can't handle that, then you are honestly with the wrong guy.
thelaura answered Tuesday March 11 2008, 6:17 pm: No, you were right. I don't like it when people read my txt messages either. Not because I'm hiding anything, but because they're to ME - noone else and it's basically invading my privacy.
This is his trust issue he needs to work at. Explain to him there's nothing he needs to worry about.. and you feel hurt that you need to prove it to him in such a silly way of showing him your txts. [ thelaura's advice column | Ask thelaura A Question ]
