Privacy in a relationship

Michelle

So just a quick back story, a few of my girls and I went out for brunch and were just talking about your typical lady stuff. the topic of privacy in a relationship came up and everyone agreed that yes ofc each person should have their privacy... except for me. I think that once youre in a serious long term relationship there should be no secrets or anything private except mail (that’s it). My 1 friend got offended because her boyfriend doesn’t tell her the password to his phone, his excuse being she should trust him. I told her that yes that’s true you should trust him but he should also trust you. Obviously I would hope you wouldnt go through msgs from work or with their parent etc but even then your SO should know what’s going on in your life so it really overall shouldn’t be a big deal. I just couldn’t imagine wanting to use my mans phone and having to ask him to put in the password. I am a super nosy person and just wondering if I’m the only one who thinks you’re SO should be an open book or in this case open phone.
