@Noct: But there's no way of knowing that she knows she's validated in her suspicions. What if she really hasn't been given a reason to be suspicious, and just happens to coincidentally be a jealous freak anyway? And either way, we don't know what he texts that he doesn't want her to see, just that it's something he knows she wouldn't approve of, or maybe even just something somewhat embarrassing that he doesn't want her to see. Granted those same arguments could be used for why it's unfair to call her a crazy control freak, haha. Not enough information for a clear judgment.

@Noct said:I've gotta disagree on this. His fear of her seeing something on his phone *might* indicate that he's doing something wrong, or it *might* indicate that she's the kind of girl who will blow up over something inconsequential. I'm not saying all women are like this at all, but I certainly know some who are. One of my best friends' girlfriend is incredibly OTT about this kind of thing even though he is doing literally nothing wrong. If he gets a text from a female friend of his *at all*, she flips out about it. Even if it's (as it always is) something entirely innocuous. He knows this, and so is justly terrified of her reading his messages, because of her reactions. It could be either way around, it's not certainly either the case that she's overbearing or he's cheating behind her back. Also, totally agree with Piglet - she's looking at your phone either way, which means that looking at you phone is *not* based on intuition. That claim would only be valid if she only looked at your phone if/when you did something wrong. Her looking in all cases is her being suspicious/nosy regardless of any facts.
Someone else already jokingly mentioned this, but I just have to
outright ask... You were afraid of her seeing your phone because she might see something
incriminating... and then you posted a thread completely confirming that her
fears were totally warranted? I know you said you weren't cheating, but in my experience, if something you're doing has to be hidden from your signifigant other, or you have to lie about it... then it's probably not somethign you should be doing...
And to the people that are saying she’s a control freak or whatever... Umm,
clearly she HAS a reason to be suspicious!
I'm not too keen on how quickly my wife will ask me who'se calling me when my
phone rings, but the whole reason it bothers me is because I have nothing to
hide... if I DID have something to hide, it wouldn't make her a controlling
bitch, it would make her an intuitive girl who senses that something is off...
Don't get me wrong, I think it's a little nuts that she is equating your selections in the game to real life and trying to read something into it, but I don't think this buisness of her wanting to see your phone is strange at all... If I picked up my wife's phone and she freaked out or didn't want me to look at it, I would be more then a little concerned...
Hah, ok, you both make fair points... Whether she knows or not though, he's admitting he's hiding something, so it doesn't seem crazy to me for her to be suspicious. You're totally right though, if she has no reason to be, I guess you could still put her in the crazy bin...
As far as whether or not she should be interested/concerned... I dunno man, obvioulsy you could get an innocent text that your signifigant other might take the wrong way, but in my opinion, when somebody is trying to keep something from their other, no matter how innocent, it means they are technically doing something "wrong". Whether they personally feel it is is irrelvant. If you know somehting you're doing or have done is going to anger/upset your girlfriend, then you probably shouldn't have done it, or at least shoud have had some concern about her feelings.
For example, my wife has a big issue with strip clubs. I really don't personally think there is anything wrong with them, and honestly, I wouldn't go even if she didn't have any problem with them, but I definately won't go knowing that it would upset her. It doesn't matter whether or not it was "innocent" or whether I though tit was wrong, if you're doing somehting you KNOW you're other doesn't like or approve of, and then you have to hide it... that's sketchy to me.
