Checking someone´s phone is unacceptable to me. If you don´t trust somebody what is the reason to stay with him/her? On the other hand, if the other part doesn´t trust you and wants to check your phone, It won´t end by doing it. He/She won´t trust you more for that.

It’s great to have you on the Phoneenglish blog! Keep practicing your skills through this writing exercise.

Take a look at how you can revise this one:

On the other hand, if the other part doesn´t trust you and wants to check your phone, It won´t end by doing it.He/She won´t trust you more for that.

On the other hand, if your significant other doesn´t trust you and wants to check your phone all the time, it won’t end or settle anything. They won´t trust you more for that.

1. There are three reasons that make women check their spouse’s phone: the first one is past relationships betrayals either from their current spouse or an ex. The second one is a change of behaviour, and the last one and the most common, is that they said theirs spouses should have nothing to hide.

2. I don’t agree. Relationships are based on trust and respect, and if you have a self confident issue, you won’t be able to trust anybody because because of your insecurity.

3. I think it’s really important to be honest with the other half, and not only honest, you should be yourself, without hidding any feeling or fear.

4. In my opinion, the best way to have privacy in a relationship is respecting each other.

1. What reasons does the speaker put out why women check their husband’s phone?
They have been previously betrayed by their spouses or ex’s, they have noted a change in their spouse ‘s behaviour or they think they can do it because their spouses have nothing yo hice.

2. Do you agree with her?
Not at all, I didnt really think about it. For sure there is a trust issue but it could be as well a self confidence issue.
3. How do you get your better half to open up to you? I think this is important because it is the base of any relationship, with your partner or with a friend
4. How can privacy exist in a marriage?
I do not know, it is quite difficult to separate bt privacy and secrets.
