Is he cheating or just distrusting?

Question

Whenever my boyfriend and I are together, we leave our phones set aside and don't use them very much. Sometimes when we are watching a movie, I catch him going through my phone! Which is totally fine, I don't mind if he does that IF he asks. But I have caught him doing this four times in the past month even after talking to him about it. I get annoyed about this because he claims to trust me! And I never ever touch his phone without asking him first- out of respect for him and his privacy... I do trust him! I talked to my mom about this and she said usually when people do this it is because they are doing something wrong and they reflect their wrong onto the other. What do you guys think? I could really use outside opinions. 
​
​Additional details: I have mostly guy friends and I get a lot of attention from guys which seems to make him kind of mad!

Answer

Id be real with him like look i dont go thru ur phone without your permission dont go thru mine. Of you are npt paying my cell bill you have no reason to its called respect and to recieve respect u have to give it. Me and my bf have been together 4 uears and never have we had privacy issues bc i made it clear from the beginning.

Your Mum is 100% correct!

Answer

I semi agree with mom. My ex husband used to go thru my phone all the time. Never found anything but always went thru it. And found out he was the one cheating.
My husband  now goes  thru it. Have been watching him closely haven't found evidence of him cheating. But it sure is like deja vue. So i let him.ease his mind of he feels he needs that. Because in the past he has been cheated on
 I don't have anything to hide. But having experiencing this Before he is checked up on.and watched til i can ensure he just needs the reassurance.

Answer

I wouldn't say he is cheating... I go on my hubby's sometimes to look at photos of our LG or play on his games or if mine is dead and for those reasons alone. Maybe he is just doing the same. If he was cheating he prob wouldn't leave his phone around and if he didnt trust you he prob wouldn't look at your phone whilst your in the room.

Answer

I wouldn't say it's necessarily a trust thing; rather, he might just be nervous that someone else finds you as attractive as he does and could be hitting on you! My boyfriend has quite a few female friends, a few of which have liked him as more than friends in the past or had flings with him, and I admit the temptation to glance through his phone from time to time is extremely tempting, although I would never actually do it. I trust him completely - I just don't necessarily trust those girls! Maybe your boyfriend's the same way.

Answer

you could just ask him what he's doing when he's on your phone..
