Anyone would agree that honesty and openness are the most important keys in any romantic relationship. That's why feeling suspicious is a natural reaction if your partner seems to be trying his hardest to keep his phone out of your reach. What is he really hiding? Read this article to find out the characteristics of a girlfriend/partner who is hiding the contents of their cellphone, as well as to find out what things they might be hiding from those closest to them.
Step
Method 1 of 10: Spouse suddenly set a password on their phone
Step 1. If your partner has never locked their phone with a certain password before, of course you should be wary
It's possible that he wants to use his cell phone to do something harmful or dangerous, and is aware of the fact that you can come into his room or study at any time. The situation will become even more suspicious if your partner is reluctant to share their password or change it immediately after telling you.
There's nothing wrong with setting a password on your phone. In fact, the phone will be much more secure if it is locked with a certain password. However, if your partner is really reluctant to share their password with you, they may be hiding something
Method 2 out of 10: Your partner often puts their phone away when you approach them
Step 1. Or, he might close some apps when he sees you
If there's nothing to hide, chances are he won't mind when you take a look at the contents of the screen, right? Therefore, if your partner keeps closing apps or locking their phone when you approach them, beware.
The same theory also applies to his laptop or computer. If your partner closes one or more tabs when you enter his room or study, chances are that he has something to hide from you
Method 3 out of 10: Couples often text for a very long time at night
Step 1. Beware if when you wake up at night and think your partner is asleep, but it turns out he is still texting with other people
Also notice if he seems busy texting when the two of you are on a date. If confronted, he might just say "nobody" or "just my friend." Remember, your friends won't normally be texting you 24 hours a day, especially in the middle of the night.
Of course, your partner may just be texting a friend who is having a problem. However, if the situation was that simple, he shouldn't mind mentioning his friend's name and/or telling him the matter they were talking about
Method 4 out of 10: Spouse always locks their phone near you
Step 1. Your partner may lock your phone before leaving the room so you don't browse through it
Although locking the phone is a common thing for anyone, beware if your partner is constantly checking their phone to make sure it's really locked.
- He might as well flip his phone over before leaving the room. Most likely, this is done so that you don't see notifications that may appear unattended.
- Always remember that locking the phone is a natural thing to do, even for those who are not hiding anything. You'd most likely do that before leaving your phone unattended, too, right? It's just worth worrying about if your partner seems too obsessed with locking their phone, especially if you're around.
Method 5 out of 10: Your partner often keeps his body away from you while using the phone
Step 1. You may see him twisting his body away before accessing the phone while the two of you are sitting side by side on the couch
If there's nothing to hide, he shouldn't care if you glance at his screen, right?
If confronted, he will most likely admit that his sitting position is not comfortable
Method 6 of 10: Spouse deletes text messages on their phone
Step 1. Chances are, your partner is doing it because there are things you shouldn't see on their phone
If you check their phone and notice a missing conversation, it's likely that the conversation has been deleted by your partner. This is a bad sign, especially since chances are, the couple did it so as not to leave any evidence on their phone.
However, always remember that some people do like to reduce or even empty the contents of their cellphones periodically
Method 7 out of 10: Spouse takes their phone to the toilet or bathroom
Step 1. This may mean he is reluctant to leave his phone unattended
If he always picks up his phone before moving, wherever it may be, you need to be wary. Most likely, your partner feels the need to be on guard in case a notification that you shouldn't know appears on his phone screen.
However, it's also possible that your partner just wants to listen to a song while taking a shower, right? Therefore, there is no need to worry too much about it
Method 8 out of 10: Spouse objects to lending you their cell phone
Step 1. Your partner may get angry when you use their phone to check the time
Although not all the time, your partner should still allow you to access their phone, just to order food or play a song, and vice versa. If your partner is not willing to do it, it means you should be wary.
- Chances are, he'll also force himself to do everything on his phone without anyone's help, even in uncomfortable situations, like while driving.
- In general, in a healthy relationship, neither party should investigate the contents of each other's cell phones. Therefore, you shouldn't expect to be constantly browsing social media pages or text messages at will.
Method 9 out of 10: Spouse gets angry if you find something on their phone
Step 1. Understand that your partner may turn the blame on you
If you confront your partner for finding evidence that he or she has had inappropriate interactions with other women on his cell phone, he's more likely to get defensive and pretend to be hurt. When you see this reaction, you may feel guilty for violating his privacy, and therefore the situation between the two of you will never really be resolved.
In fact, this is a classic manipulation technique that many people use to get themselves out of trouble. Remember, any invasion of privacy you may commit does not negate the fact that he has made a mistake
Method 10 out of 10: Your partner is reluctant to discuss your concerns
Step 1. Feeling cheated by your partner?
Feel free to raise concerns and concerns regarding his suspicious behavior. If he hadn't done anything wrong, he shouldn't mind discussing the topic. On the other hand, if he does engage in an activity that you can't tolerate, he's more likely to decline the invitation or react with anger.
