To be annoyed that he lets his DD use his mobile but not me?

DP will never let me go near his phone, guards it with his life, takes it to the bog etc. Other day we're sat in the car and music is playing through his phone as our cd player is knackered. He gets out to pop into a shop and I ask him "can you leave your phone on so I can still listen to the music?" and he says "no" and promptly unplugs it and takes it in with him saying he was "waiting for a call" (nobody ever calls him so bullshit). However, later his DD asked if she could use his phone to transfer songs - "yes, but be careful with it please" and off up into her bedroom it goes.
AIBU???

Im sorry to say but id be highly suspicious. What has he got on his phone that he doesnt want you to see.

Id be annoyed too.

Is there another reason he is so protective of his phone?

Seems abit extreme to me!

I am protective of my phone, btu if anyone wanted to use it, i.e dh then no probs. And I certainly wouldn't take it with me if he asked for me to leave it for the music, even if I was expecting a call.

I would be grabbing that phone and having a nosey!

You definately need to get hold of that phone

Socknickingpixie · 26/06/2012 22:10

i half wondering if the question you are really asking is 'why do you think he guards his phone like this' but i also expect you already know the answer to that one.

for what its worth i am like that with my phone but only because my bf snoops and i hate it he once ripped into me accusing me of all manor of things because there was a txt on mine from a bloke saying 'really nice to see you today i really hope your not to upset we noticed you getting tearfull when we left' the txt was from my bil because my sister was driving. so i stash my phone to avoid the grief

Where's the kindness, eh? Why doesn't he want to do simple things like that for you?

And yes, of course I'm wondering what's on the phone that he doesn't want you to see.

Sarcalogos · 26/06/2012 22:13

Hmmm, is he like this with everything he owns (if so has he got issues/is he a bit of a twat).

Or is it just his phone? (in which case be very suspicious...)

My wife can use/read anything on my phone if she needs to at any point, he's hiding something

Babylon1 · 26/06/2012 22:57

DH and I have matching iPhones

It's not uncommon for us to pick up each others phone by mistake. It's also not a problem, until we go to put the iPod on Hmm

We have VERY different tastes in music!!

But my point is the same, I have nothing on my phone that DH can't see/read and the same for his, that includes FB, messages, everything!

This is how it should be IMO. Smile

I would be getting my hands on that phone and having a good look through it.

Even if there was nothing on it, the fact that he is not prepared to put himself out a bit to let you listen to the music would be enough for me to query the status quo.

Does his DD know anything??
