Man asks if he was wrong to read 'suspicious' texts on wife's phone.

Couples share nearly everything, but having open access to each other's cell phones remains a hot topic - and can also get you into hot water as one man recently found out.

The man took to Reddit to ask if he was in the wrong for reading a text message that appeared on his wife's phone while she was in another room.

The text she received seemed suspicious, so he asked her to explain - she became infuriated he didn't trust her, and invaded her privacy in the process.

When his wife arrived home, she told him she was stuck working late. She then left her phone out and went to shower. He explained:

I was warming up the food and setting out the dishes as she went to shower and get changed. She left her phone on the table and I see a message pop up saying 'tonight was amazing, xxx', curious to what was going on I checked her phone, this message was from one of her female co-workers (good friend of hers) and it turns out they had a girls night in after work.

After he saw her unusual text and investigated who it was from, he decided to question her about it. She became extremely upset, and accused him of 'snooping' on her. But he thought she shouldn't have lied about where she was.

When she came down I told her about the message and she went ballistic on me for snooping through her phone, I tried to tell her to look at it from my perspective and how it looked to me. She carried on with the dialogue of how I should trust her etc. (Which I do, but when a message like that appears on your SOs phone, thoughts come to mind).
