AIBU?

DP is alone upstairs with my unpassworded phone

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?

Oh and for the person talking about battery stuff. My phone battery is not working properly and am waiting for my upgrade next month and DP just barely uses his phone so forgets to charge it. Isn't an issue here as I said as we don't care if the other uses our phone.

I wouldn’t be bothered at all - dh knows about all the stupid crap I look at Grin.

DH wouldn’t sesrch my phone because he is a respectful person in that way.

He would however fix the Echo dot problem and them gloat about it insufferably. I’d be more worried about that.

@GrandDuchessRomanov

I haven't got a phone to hand over.

Never wanted or needed one.

Likewise.

@MarianneUnfaithful there’ll never be a Mr Goingplaces! Once bitten twice shy. Between us we got the dot going. I told him this morning I’d made this thread and a flavour of the responses. He said he didn’t need to snoop as almost everyday I start a conversation with “there’s a thread on mumsnet about…” anyway Grin. I showed him the creepy animal photos this morning, he liked that

@Skysblue yes he did point out it required his intervention to get it working. He man, he make fire Hmm

Now he’s saying, you need the next gen, better sound. He has a gadget for everything

My point still stands though, it’s not difficult to ensure you have sufficient charge or back up to get you through the day until you can charge again. Obviously emergency situations don’t count , but there seem to be endless threads here where someone just ‘needed’ to use their DH’s phone as theirs was out of battery and they ‘just happened’ to see a message that ‘popped up’... all too convenient in my opinion. If these people didn’t have a DH with a charged phone on hand to give them, would they go around with a useless phone or would they learn to charge in advance and have back up?

My battery is shit, I use my phone a lot, my car power point is broken and I frequently fall asleep and forget to put phone on charge. I definitely am not organised enough to keep and carry a fully charged bank plus don't really have the pocket space. Apologies if you disapprove of my lifestyle 😆. I don't have a dp to borrow a phone off but just pointing out how I end up with dead battery

My battery isn't shit and I still use DPs phone to look things up if its more convenient (closer, more battery, mines playing a video I don't want to stop or has dropped down the back of the sofa...)
I don't see any reason not to. He's obviously fine with it and uses mine in the same way. We don't go rummaging through each others messages but we could and wouldn't care.

Mine would find the ridiculous number of free and cheap werewolf romance novels I have stored on my phone. They are my guilty pleasure and some of them are pure filth Grin
