Is spying on your partner acceptable?
Explain your answer..
That depends on your level of spying. If its digging through their personal email or phone messages, wouldn't that mean you don't trust your partner enough? If it's just spying on your partner's Facebook profile or just viewing something that happens to be shown in public or within a circle, would be acceptable to keep an eye on.
People don't spy for no reason. It means that there is a level of mistrust somewhere in the relationship, if there wasn't you wouldn't need to spy.

I think we sometimes like to know what's going on at times but to deliberately go out and spy on your own actual partner is different, because you are going out of your way to check up on them or go through their stuff. Why not just confront a partner with your concerns?
I agree with Abdul Qoyyuum and Rumpunch. There is uncertainty in the relationship when one is spying on the other. When there seems to be something wrong with the partner, it would be better to have some slow talk rather than just keep on spying.
The answer is NO !!! If you need to spy on your partner changes are the relationship is over.
Really Tina, truely.. I have spied on both of my partners in my teens and early 20's. Both of which were successful cheating busts.. If I had not of spied I would have never had known!!
I think the only reason one does spy is because of not being able to trust another person.....you do not just spy just for no reason.
In my experience, I had spied on my Ex....he turned out to be a two faced cheater so I am kinda glad I tried to find out the truth...I found love again but not even once did I have the need to spy on him or literally check on anything he does....he never made me feel the need to do so. :3
Is this research for an article?
My input would be that if a person feels the need to spy on their partner then the relationship has serious problems. My wife is insecure about her self and keeps a constant check on my whereabouts with texts and phone calls to myself and to the people I say I'm going to be with.
I think most people spy when their partner are hiding things. Usually because they are doing wrong things. I've never spied on anyone I was dating, though one time I was tempted, and it turned out he was cheating. If my partner was suddenly very secretive... I'd talk to him first, but yeah, I know I would spy, because people don't act like that for no reason.
