Question Posted Tuesday March 11 2008, 4:11 pm

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?

No, text messages really are your personal business just as emails and letters are. It's YOUR stuff and it's your decision wether to let him be a sneak and read your shiz or not. If ya'll have been dating that long and confide in one another, he should know better than to just trust you.

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. :)

i agree that you shouldnt have to show him and you really dont have any reason too but it does sound like you were hiding something because most feel like if there isnt anything bad about them then you dont care who sees them. try and explain to your bf that you just dont see why he cares but if it were me i would let my bf. i ask him if i can see his txts. hope i helped :)

no i don't think you were wrong at all. i wouldn't want my boyfriend reading my text messages either, it's just something private and personal. however i do see where your boyfriend is comming from, because i would do the same thing. but everyone needs their own privacy, and he needs to accept that.

hope i helped (:

No.
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.

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.
