I totally get why people dislike the phone thing though. If both partners agree to sharing phones then that’s totally cool and healthy.
But if someone doesn’t trust their partner to be faithful or whatever, to the point of going behind their back to snoop, that’s toxic. They should feel comfortable asking these sorts of things.
I’m sure he would’ve said yes if asked to give over his phone. But why ask? Wouldn’t your partner think “hey do they not trust me? Why do they feel the need to check my phone rather than being transparent with me?”
Even in trusting healthy relationships boundaries are important. Everyone needs privacy and everyone has the right to it. It’s up to what the couple decides. If you don’t trust your partner to be faithful when you aren’t in control/present then you should try to fix that or break up. ☠
Well... It's not really toxic, that's an exaggeration.
I’m sorta confused.
Maybe I need to reread because my memory is foggy but why are people saying their relationship is like super toxic? (Genuine question) aren’t possessive ppl really common in these kinda stories? Did this reach an audience not used to that? Or are people reading while also giving irl advice ‘cause that’s the shit I like to do. I was shocked to see the comments because I’ve seen less annoyed comments one way worse relationships. I drop stuff if it’s too toxic but this isn’t unbearable. For now. I guess my bare minimum standard for really toxic couples in these kinds of stories are low because of what I expect from these stories. Sometimes I like to comment “irl I would say these two should break up” and most people agree but continue reading because we love the drama.
