Cellphone peeking is harmful

THE saying, "curiosity killed the cat" has never been more true than in the new, disturbing tendency of cellphone peeping.

At every possible opportunity women secretly check their partner's text messages or call list. This mainly out of of curiosity.

Given what you discover, what follows is either confrontation or suspicion.

It is at this point that the saying "ask no questions and hear no lies" becomes appropriate, unless of course you are "pushed" to look for answers.

If your partner struggles to conduct a reasonable phone conversation in your presence or provides the characteristic monosyllabic yes, no, yes and maybe type of answers, you might have reason to investigate. Be warned, though, the cost of truth discovery might prove very damaging.

You might need life-long emotional support after that exercise. At the very worst, any form of support might not pull you through the hurt, the lick might also prove painful because of the the depth of hurt.

Prying can be very hurtful and could even cost you your relationship . Furthermore, it might leave you socially handicapped and incapable of any further meaningful love.

The decision to visit your partner's cellphone should not be impulsive, but premeditated and with a lot of self-honesty.

By no means is one condoning infidelity.

Cells have propelled the art of communication to a different height. Statistics attest to this.

With communication advocated as the single most important founding pillar of a successful relationship, why downplay the revolutionary gadget's usefulness?

More importantly, why contaminate its advantages with its avoidable perils of use. Let's use it for constructive and fulfilling relationships and nothing more.

Stay away from your partner's cell. It will surprise you ... for the worst. What you don't know won't hurt you.
