Is it a red flag if they check my phone?
Short answer
Red flag
Going through your phone without asking is about control and trust, not love. Once can be insecurity worth talking about; regularly, or demanding your passwords, is a clear red flag. You're allowed to have privacy.
It depends on
- Whether they asked or did it secretly
- Whether it's once or regular
- How they react when you say no
What you could say
- I'm not ok with you going through my phone. If something worries you, ask me.
- I want us to trust each other. What's making you feel unsure?
- My phone is private. That's not negotiable for me.
