Snooping

To snoop or not to snoop...that is the question.  Snooping refers to without someone's consent or knowledge, in secret going through the personal possessions i.e. phone or e-mail because one partner  feels that the other partner is being distrustful.

When in a relationship is it all right for someone to snoop on their mate?  I will not answer this with a yes or a no, but think of it this way if a person has a desire to snoop because they have the suspicion that their other half is cheating then why stay in a relationship where there is no trust?

Communication is essential to any successful relationship, but it is nothing if there is no trust.  A couple can communicate all they want, but if the words or actions are not being received by the other partner as trustworthy then the relationship is all for naught.

My advice is before you decide to snoop through cell phones, e-mails and social networking sites have a conversation (communicate) with your mate.  If after this conversation you still feel as if something is not right then do not be deceptive and snoop through your mates personal information.  Make the decision that they should possibly not be your mate any longer.
