My boyfriend will not give me the password to his phone: Should I be concnered?

I think personal space is good and all, and we never check each other’s phones without the other one knowing, but we do answer calls for each other and our finger prints are in each other’s phones at all times. If he ever yelled at me for answering a call or something we will have problems. Who is calling u that I can’t know about? It better be Jared jewelry store talking about my engagement ring if its thaaat secret. Lol

The fact that you’re not even wanting to go through it and that you’re just not “allowed” to know it is weird. My husband and i know HOW to get in each other’s phones but we don’t do it. If his phone is elsewhere and he needs to look something up real fast he does, and vice versa. We don’t even ask :woman_shrugging:t3: Idk. Kinda strange to me but maybe we’re just different. Well actually Come to think of it, our phones aren’t even locked so whatever. :joy:

I think you should tell him exactly what you wrote, is our relationship ending worth it? Let me look through your phone or we’re done. If you have doubts which you do, there’s lack of trust and nothing lasts with out strong trust and open communication. I’m sorry but honestly with you having a child together it’s better to end things early then later

Only reason to have a password, IMO, is if the phone is at risk of butt dial. However, a SO should have the password in this case. He’s hiding something. No doubt.

But on another note… I have never asked for my boyfriends phone, I trust him completely and honestly I think it would hurt his heart if I demanded to look through his phone. I trust him with my life and I don’t see any reason to go through his phone.

Every time I read anything on here everybody’s all “leave him”; grow up people. One issue and “leave him”. What about communication. So people, I’ll admit it; I’m old. I don’t even know how to put a password on my phone and my husband wouldn’t know how to unlock it, either. Lol. But why would you want to look on your significant other’s phone? Sounds childish and like a trust issue. Everyone deserves privacy. Maybe he vents to buddy or mom about issues he’s having with you, maybe he’s purchasing things he doesn’t want you to know about, maybe, maybe, I dont know. But it isn’t new why worry about it now?

Yep, change your password and don’t say anything. He’s definitely hiding something. If it means that much you should probably end it, men like that are shit, by just come up with new ways to hide it. Liking a picture of his exes while your pregnant, that would have done it for me.

I haven’t even read any other replies but yes he does have something to hide if he’s doing that my husband does the same thing to me and yes he’s cheated on me more times than I know. It may not be actively cheating but he’s calling or texting b otches that he shouldn’t be. And in my opinion he is cheating :angry::rage::angry::angry:

The double standard is RIDICULOUS. This man is hiding shit, or at the very least he’s immature. He wants all the control. I’m sure this isn’t the only thing in the relationship like this that he does

If you were to own a business with a partner what would happen if you allow them to keep secrets from you? You’re business would fail, okay your relationship isn’t any different.

If He has Nothing to Hide, there Should Not be a Problem! XO!

My husband and i keep ours unlocked. We use eachothers phones frequantly. We have been together 10 years. Secrets are not good in a relationship.

TRUST is the most important thing in a relationship! Sounds like he is hiding something or wants to make you think he is hiding something. I’d say bye bye.

Follow Your Head! XO!

I’d be concerned but I’d also change my password and same rules apply. Give him a chance to see how it feels. You have to do what’s best for you and no one else. Living with that feeling isn’t healthy :woman_shrugging: Best of luck

Honestly, if hes got nothing to hide… I know my husband’s passwords and him mine. We dont search each others phones but we dont hide anything

Honestly if there is no trust or openness between you two then you shouldn’t be in a relationship. My husband and I have no secrets. We can use each others phones no problem and have nothing to hide we know each others passwords to everything. Do we make it a habit to go through each others phones? No, because we trust each other and respect one another privacy as well. Now days people are so uptight about their damn phones, epecially in relationships. Its fucking ridiculous. I feel if your SO doesnt want you to borrow or even know the code to their phone then they are hiding something. My hubby was only like that once and it was when he had emails and pics of my engagement ring lol which I understand him not wanting me to find. Y’all need to have a talk and start trusting each other or end it🤷‍♀️

Yea it’s weird! I mean I dont see a problem with each other having passwords or using each others phone… that instills trust. But just holding it and he gets weird is a big red flag. I wouldn’t say end your relationship but I think I’d make myself heard about how weird it is and how you feel on it. If he is willing to show you then it’s clear he just needs a little privacy maybe his own space in a way,but if he is hell bent on you not being allowed on it…hes obviously hiding something. I’d be flustered but that’s only cause there’s been issues in my marriage. But with you its definitely different you have a right to feel how you feel and so does he. But ultimately if he isnt willing to extend an olive branch to keep the trust then I say you do what you gotta do.

My husband and I use the same passwords to our phones, there shouldn’t be any reason you can have his passcode unless he’s hiding something.

You’re gonna end your relationship over a phone…think about it for a while. A phone. A fucking cell phone. If you really want it to work, maybe sit down and talk about that. Realize that what seems like the biggest problem in your relationship is a phone. Social media has really ruined trust, loyalty, and relationships nowadays and it’s sad. If he’s gonna cheat he’s gonna cheat and I guarantee you it isn’t only on his phone.

Change your password. Since he has a history of making inappropriate comments on another woman’s page, you do have some cause for concern.

However if you can’t trust him, then there’s really no point in being with him.

I’m actually going through this right now. But I know the passwords and found out everything on my own. I don’t like having to log into his accounts, but that was the only way I was going to get the truth. It wasnt a fun thing to find out everything, but we are working on things and its getting better.

Honestly, I refuse to give out my password even though I have nothing to hide. I don’t expect that out of my boyfriend either. Relationships are built on trust & I feel like it’s just disrespectful & an invasion of privacy to demand it. Maybe he feels this way too? I’d go with your gut if you’re truly concerned. If there aren’t other red flags, I wouldn’t worry about it at all.

So he is never supposed to have a life or do anything without your permission. Come on now! Hes not your child he is your partner, treat his as such!

You’re being an insecure woman. Just because he is your man, does not mean he owes you anything. He does not have to give you his password. I understand it hurt to see him like his ex’s photo before but you’re grown, get over it. He chose to be with you, not her. You are the mother of his child and he loves you. If you keep smothering him you might lose him. And I think it’s foolish to leave a man bc you don’t know his password. I’ve been with my husband 5 yrs and I’m only 20, he is 24. We’ve been through damn near everything you can think of. Decide if you can suck it up and stay with him or not. Change your password if it bugs you !!! But don’t demand something out of your man. You do not own him. And he most likely isn’t doing anything wrong!

I know my fiance’s and he knows mine. I don’t go through his unless I’m looking for something specific (like my mom in his messages cuz I’m too lazy to go get my phone :joy::sweat_smile:) but I’ll steal it to search the weather and stuff. All his bank stuff is private. Idk if he goes through mine or not. Wouldn’t be worth his time honestly. I am a boring ass person.

I agree with the ladies saying he’s hiding something. Trust is built on transparency, and you’ve already been hurt and had that trust violated. My husband and I have full disclosure on all of our electronics and social media accounts. We trust each other Because any time either of us felt something was off we were able to see if it was real or just paranoia (we both have trust issues from past relation-shits). One thing to consider, does he accuse you of infidelity? Not being trustworthy? If he does that is a clear sign that he has something going on. Guilty party is almost always the first to accuse. Good luck. You deserve to be in a relationship where you don’t have to wonder.

If you feel the need to investigate, there’s your answer. I’m not staying with someone I feel the need to keep tabs on. :woman_shrugging:

If his phone is locked and he absolutely refuses to give you the password or even let you touch it, hes hiding something. Pack your bags and keep them out of sight. Keep baby with you. Ask him again, if he refuses, ask him what hes hiding, and if he gets mad and defensive tell him, ‘Ok, i gave you one more chance. Obviously you are hiding something. Im not about secrets.’ Get up, grab your bags and walk out. Im sure he will follow you, but tell him if he refuses to be open, you can no longer be in the relationship.

yes ^ you have to confront this situation head on.
If he had nothing to hide why put a lock on his phone? Why refuse to let you touch it?

I understand exactly where this girl is coming from. Yes. My insecurity has led me to believe I am not good enough so easily another girl could come in and take him. My man used to panic when his phone was in my hands. But turns out that stems from being a teenager and having your phone taken from you and feeling cut off from the world without it. After my ultimatum and going through his phone I realized he wasn’t hiding anything besides some risky porn searches he thought would upset me and the feeling of panic came from having his phone taken as a teen. Communication and confronting this head on is going to get you results and less worry and assumptions.

Men always start doing shady shit when their women are pregnant for some reason. Leave and don’t look back. If he won’t give you the password there is a reason. If there wasn’t a reason he would let you look at his phone. Do you even wanna be with someone where you have to worry about this crap?

The fact that he refuses to give you his password or even let you use his phone is a red flag. I get it’s his phone and he isn’t entitled to give you his password. But. What if something happened to the baby and your phone was dead and he was in another room but left his phone behind? It could be life or death for your child. My question is, if you had a problem with him not letting you use his phone, why would you even have a child with him? If he won’t let you use his phone then change the password on yours and don’t tell him until he tries to use it and can’t get in. If he asks why then just tell him straight up that if you can’t use his why can he use yours?

First you should try changing your password on your phone and see how he reacts. Second don’t use your baby life or death defense as an excuse for needing the password because you can call 911 from a locked phone. Third I can understand that he wants his privacy just like you want yours. And fourth, He is definitely hiding something. He may not be actually cheating but something definitely seems fishy.

My question to you is why? Why do you want his password so badly? If you are questioning him or suspicious than you already have bigger issues.

I think it’s a person’s right to privacy. You don’t have to know everything thing is every second of every day of each other’s lives. You are still individual people. Just my opinion but if this bothers you that much then maybe reevaluate your relationship altogether. It seems like you have trust issues. Just my opinion everyone has one.

I would say it’s too early in the relationship for this crap, but if y’all are living together and have a baby together, then perhaps it’s time for some self reflection, since you’re willing to up and leave him all for a phone and a picture like. Decisions like that will have a huge impact on the child’s upbringing, which doesn’t seem to be a priority to you at the moment.

As for the phone ordeal, it’s less important than you think. If you can’t sit down with your boyfriend and have a serious, honest conversation about each other’s social activities, then there’s a general trust and commitment jssue between the two of you. My wife and I have each other’s passwords, but we neither use it nor check each other’s phones. If we want to know something, we speak up. That’s how a life partnership works. If you don’t have that with him, then move towards it. If you don’t want that, then definitely reconsider your decision to be in a relationship with another person.

Defiantly cheating.

There are so many other apps besides facebook and insta too.

I always leave my phone everywhere. Most of the time it’s my husband’s pockets when we are out and about. We have the same passwords to unlock our phones as well

Do I go through his phone? No. But if I need to use his phone when I cant use mine then I just do that.

There shouldn’t be any sneaky shit going on. If he is so wierd about his phone it’s because there is something on it that he doesn’t want you to know about.

Either make him show you on the spot. Not later on after he deleted everything and made sure no one would be messaging either. Or leave. Because fuck that

I dont put a password on my phone but my bf of 9 years also has no reason to use it… I’d be furious if he went through my stuff just shows there is no trust. Just like I respect him and dont go through his phone. Cant have a relationship without trust and privacy

Don’t care what all these ladies have to say. Hubby did this shit to me, and was hiding things from me. Don’t think you need to have a damn password on your phone, however shouldn’t ever feel the need to go through it. My hubby got always super protective if I wanted to use his phone at all. Like I wasn’t allowed to even touch it. He even slept with it tucked under him. Sooo. Go with your gut.

I would flip out. If he has nothing to hide, then he wouldnt be acting like the phone guardian! Im sorry, but i can’t tell you how to act re this…but it really hurts when this happens. I know. You have to talk to him about it or leave. Dont let anybody downplay this. It IS a big deal, in my opinion. We went on and on about this and it ended _the secret password thing etc) and our relationship bounded back from the brink of destruction. Good luck to you!!

Yes me n my husband knows all passwords to all of each other’s account as well as our phones. We keep them locked for one we have children who loves getting on our phones plus if our phones gets lost no one can use them. But that his personal space. Coummcation is the key in any relationship.
