to be pissed that I can't even trust my own family members?

I let my family members on my laptop. Yesterday I had an heated discussion on msn with an on-off (currently off & probably for good...far too much of a loser!) boyfriend. Msn records the conversations and saves them to my desktop. As i'm usually the sole user of my laptop, that doesn't bother me. I let the family members use my laptop out of the goodness of my heart and I have just had a look at the properties of the folder that contains that one conversation and it says that it was last accessed at 9:30pm when they were on! It is very obvious it is an msn conversation and they know the full history and what is going on with this boyfriend. I have confronted them and they are both denying it. I feel they have lost my trust. It was a very personal conversation with a lot of our feelings poured out on there and now I feel violated and can't believe they're denying it!

oh that's crap for you. Are you totally sure? no way it could be misunderstanding?

Have you done the whole, I'll be more hurt if you lie than if you admit, line?

oh and find a way to lock your laptop. Sign them on as a guest with access to internet etc but not your files.

I'd be pissed if the'd have read it and took the piss out of you after. They are your family and they care about you. The're a bit on the nosey side but at least they havn't emailed him trying to get you back together.

Hey thanks for your replies! I don't think they read it because they care...just because they're nosey. If they cared, they wouldn't be encouraging the man who treats me like shit to come and stay for a few weeks, would they?! He is a friend of my mum and stepfather. I'm going on holiday when he comes, I can tell you!!! I asked them and they sounded a bit shocked, but why would the file say that time otherwise? Hmm, I don't know. I might laugh at them being caught red handed if the conversation wasn't with ex-dp and they know we're going through a very bad time at the moment but hey ho, i'll probably never get the truth out of them!

Hmm. Sorry, I didn't know. They are nosey then. And lying, that's very bad. I'm not surprised youre pissed off. Don't worry. Tomorrow they will wake up with huge boils on their noses
