Ever since I was a teenager, privacy has been a sore spot for me. My dad used to snatch my phone and go through everythingāphotos, 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 doesnāt get it. Sheāll randomly try to take my phone, convinced Iām hiding something. Iāve tried to compromiseāshe can look through my messages, but not my photos. Thatās my line. But she thinks Iām just being secretive. Honestly, Iām frustrated and confused. Am I being unreasonable? How do I get her to understand that my need for privacy isnāt about hiding things, but about protecting myself? Iām tired of feeling like a suspect in my own relationship. What would you do if you were me? š¤š¤¦āāļøš± #RelationshipTrust #PrivacyMatters #CouplesIssues #Anxiety #Communication #RomanticRelationships
