I promised myself that if I ever felt the need to snoop on my man, I would just end the relationship. How could I ever justify staying with someone I did not trust? I have people call me naive and tell me you have to check up on your mate sometimes. Do you agree?

There are some people who regularly check the text messages, emails, phone pictures of their significant other. They believe that it would tell them something is going on or prove that nothing is. I think it can be misleading, though. People who are great at hiding things won’t be careless. When you suspect something is going on, what should you do?

Do you believe that being in a relationship means you sometimes have to do a little snooping to “maintain trust” or stay confident about fidelity?
