Ever since I was a teenager, privacy has been a sore spot for me. My dad used to snatch my phone and go through everything—photos, messages, you name it. When he found out I was looking at stuff any normal 15-year-old would, he humiliated me in front of my whole family. That trauma stuck with me. Now, even as an adult, if someone grabs my phone, my anxiety skyrockets. My girlfriend of four years just doesn’t get it. She’ll randomly try to take my phone, convinced I’m hiding something. I’ve tried to compromise—she can look through my messages, but not my photos. That’s my line. But she thinks I’m just being secretive. Honestly, I’m frustrated and confused. Am I being unreasonable? How do I get her to understand that my need for privacy isn’t about hiding things, but about protecting myself? I’m tired of feeling like a suspect in my own relationship. What would you do if you were me? 😤🤦♂️📱 #RelationshipTrust #PrivacyMatters #CouplesIssues #Anxiety #Communication #RomanticRelationships
