What if it's not about respect, but boundaries...?
i have dated enough women to know there is no such thing as boundaries if the girl is really feeling u. if ur not really feeling a guy, then why date him? and when u think about it, why would u be nervous about ur man looking into ur phone? there's obviously something in there that makes u uncomfortable.
to digress a little bit, i dated a girl once who revealed to me during one of our playful sessions we have, that, in the past, she has slept with 2 guys at the same time.
my heart sunk.
up to that point, i had been letting little things she did that i didnt like, slide cause i really liked her. but after she told me that (granted, it was years before we met) i just knew it was a done deal for her. she can never be wifey. the idea of a woman allowing herself to be dominated by two men at the same time is the ultimate sign that that girl is mentally unstable and unsuited for any man of worth.
yes, she revealed this to me herself. but this is the kind of information i would have wanted to know before allowing myself to get emotionally entangled with her, or worse, marry her. she later said she she regrets telling me that because she could tell it really bothered me. but i was glad she did, and had she not, these are the type of things u would find out from going through her phone or other social media accounts.
