What’s distrust? It’s simply not having enough trust for someone. If brought into a relationship, it’s simply not having enough trust for your partner, or trusting that your partner wouldn’t be faithful enough in certain circumstances, ranging from fidelity to finance.
People snoop for different reasons, and there’s hardly a positive reason for snooping; it’s either to check your partner’s ways with the opposite sex, to check what’s going on in his/her life, to check what he/she is hiding from you, to check if there is anything you should know that you don’t, or just your inquisitiveness at work.
If you totally believe everything your partner says, you wouldn’t have to snoop on his/her phone. If you feel your partner never hides a thing from you, you wouldn’t have to snoop. Sometimes, the snoopy partner snoops not just because they believe that their partner is cheating or hiding anything from them, they snoop because they have trust issues. Some people really find it hard to trust, and even if there is no reason for them to distrust their partner, they still distrust them.
When a partner snoops, it shows that something isn’t really right; either you have a partner that isn’t trustworthy or you have trust issues. But in reality, snooping is actually a sign of distrust.
Do you go through your partner’s phone? Do you think it’s a sign of distrust?
