He’s convinced he can set up an echo dot where I’ve failed. We’ll see. But should I worry? Will he peruse my what’s app chats where I join in a general moan about men? Will he find my secret stash of topless pics of Giovanni from Strictly? What about my Amazon purchase history of meaningless crap?

What would you worry about in my shoes? Besides being proven wrong re defective dot?

I’d be mortified if my image folder of TMJ treatment progress pictures fell into the wrong hands. Without context you’d probably conclude that I was a psychopath.

My husband has finger print recognition on mine and me on his. Why would you worry?

@entropynow

He can't even access his own emails on his own phone without help, so shrug

😂 I was thinking the same!

I have just been scaring myself reading about Brazilian butt lifts and everything they involve.

He may see my history and think I'm planning to have one? But then again he knows I'm always Googling random bollocks.

@TDogsInHats

I've got a secret WhatsApp excluding DH, just for me and our adult DC so we don't buy the same gift/books/ whatever for DH father's Day/birthday/ Christmas.
It'd ruin the surprise for DH if he saw our messages.

Do you think your DH has a similar group with the DC which excludes you?!

It's a lovely reason anyway.

Meh, nothing really. I've got nothing to hide, but DH wouldn't be remotely inclined to snoop in any case.

AlexaShutUp · 23/06/2021 22:45

And yes, I know the pass code to his phone, and I think he probably knows mine. I don't snoop just because I can...I don't feel the need!

Wouldn't worry me in the slightest. We both know each others passwords and use the nearest one to us if we need to find something on Google quickly.

Total trust? Wonderful! Long may that last.

Today he would see that I compiled my top five ‘who would you do’ list and it took some extensive research to put together.

He knows this. Rolls his eyes and says " why can't you watch porn like a normal person"

Earlier on I looked up ear blackheads on YouTube (because they are always the best ones, obviously) and while scrolling through, actual porn appeared. Ironically that made me proper disgusted (can’t think of anything worse than watching actual porn).

But I don’t need actual porn because I can watch the two aforementioned most handsome men singing, which is far more appealing.

Cheesy memes about looking after oneself and things like that.

Dank memes.

Old OLD emails from previous partners that I keep (but there would be a lot of scrolling involved for that)!
WhatsApp conversations yes,some things should be private where I've discussed personal things with friends etc
But I doubt dp would snoop :) nor would I :)

I’d worry he’d see just how much a woman in her late 40’s spends watching Harry Styles videos and Twitter searches him daily Grin

I’d worry that he would see that I watch blackhead videos.

Me too

Nope, I wouldn't be worried as nothing to hide - we both know each other's passwords and sometimes borrow the other's phone if we're going out and are low on charge or can't find our own.

Oh God, my bookmarked favourite fanfiction stories featuring lots of slash Grin

Maybe a friendly point in the right direction might be in order ? In the interests of academic research you understand 🤔

Well he has my password anyway as I chose the same as his out of laziness. I just couldn't come up with anything when our new phones arrived and thought fuck it.

But I would worry about my Google search history. Like me second-guessing myself and googling how to spell certain words or if they actually mean what I think they mean😂 (I just had to Google the spelling of second-guessing).

I used my DH phone earlier to check how much we had in kids birthday fund ( I've used all my data listening to music in the garden where the WiFi doesn't reach but I can get it at the bottom of the road Hmm) and the only thing he looked at is my playlists! Then told me that I listen to really random music... I mean who doesn't have Kelly Clarkson Christmas songs in the same playlist as Jay-Z, 2 Pac, Biggie, Faith Evans, Alicia Keys, Lethal Bizzle, Stormzy, Linkin Park, Backstreet Boys, Whitney Houston, Rage Against The machines, Queen, Frank Sinatra, Childish Gambino, Sam Smith, Macklemore, Wretch 32, and Rag N Bone man in EVERY playlist (obviously different songs)

My phone and my wife's phone have the same pin numbers.
My bank debit card and my wife's bank debit card have the same pin numbers (Not the same as the phone pins)
It is called total trust.

Not quite if you don't share a bank account

Why weren't you sat beside him when he was doing that with your phone? Why did he have to be upstairs and your downstairs? Am I missing something?

*I probably am because I don't even know what an Alexa does.

I'm always confused by people sharing their phones. My SIL said she always wants the password for my brother's phone (though in her case she's probably right to watch him...)

But if a partner asked me for my password (be it phone, bank, email) I'd tell them no. Not that I have anything to hide - I can own up to my fanfic slash stash - but it's my privacy. I'd actually find it weird if my partner asked for my passwords.

But eh, maybe this is why I'm single...

How on Earth is it controlling to know each other’s PINs?

It may not be controlling but bank regulations state that you should not divulge your PIN to anyone else (regardless of whether you happen to be sleeping with them). If someone empties your account, good luck with trying to get any money back.
