Suspicion or Women’s Instinct?

Some people advice couples in a relationship that in order to avoid arguments or jealousy of a”third party” or making themselves unfoundedly miserable , they should not check each other’s messages in mobile phones or facebook or any social networking accounts.  Couples, they say, should still have their own privacy even if they are “two that became one.” 

I know an older couple and the wife says she doesn’t check on her husband’s mobile phones because she trusts her husband completely and she doesn’t mind whomever her husband communicates with.  One time, I saw her husband in a bus.  He was with another woman.  I did not tell the wife and she and her husband are still together.

 I have another friend who tells me that she checks on her husband’s mobile phone and facebook private messages although her husband tells her not to do so and hides his cellphone from her.  She then discovered that her husband is having an affair with another married woman.  The husband was “caught” and they are now working on their marriage.  They are still together, of course.

Bottomline, NOT checking your partner’s private messages, I think, works for some people and for women, IT JUST DOESN’T. lol!
