Is it ok to snoop in partner’s phone

If you [b]DO[/b] find something [b]NOT[/b] cheating.
Asking cuz I did something real bad. I feel very guilty for it and my boyfriend and I talked about it. I did not play victim and was accountable for my mistakes and will try to do better.
Thing is he discovered it while snooping in my phone, and going WAY farther than the issue he was looking for.

For a lil context:
He is my friend’s ex (from +10 years ago). And it’s still too early to tell her (legit just started dating and idk if serious or not). And she learned about it in the WORST possible way (someone else completely told her). When she told me about it, she started the conversation with «I know you would neeeever omg ppl be inventing stuff». Which made me completely panic and I started basically dissing the poor guy who had not asked for anything.
It was really mean of me. But I know my friend since YEARS. She would NEVER let that conversation slip. I felt bad for trash talking someone I like but I [b]DID[/b] stomp the issue until at least few months when I tell her we are serious.


I know I objectively did worse and it wasn’t nice of me but I can’t help but feel very bad about HOW he came to know.
He told me he only searched for things concerning his name but still…I talked about money issues and stuff that I didn’t want to talk to him about…
And I don’t even know how MUCH he read in my convos…I feel very embarrassed about some private conversations…

Im gonna have to agree with the comments on this one, if you already have a suspicion that something is wrong, it probably is. There is no relationship without trust and you have already shown you dont trust him, i would suggest breaking it off if it is this early and there are trust issues.

@BloodyArwin unpopular opinion but no, i believe if you are in a relationship there should be transparency, if he is unwilling to show his phone he is the wrong one, dont be a victim of stayong for convenience, ive done that and its fucking ridiculous
