Hubby spying on me...

This is something we've talked and fought and talked and talked and talked about... Sometimes I get an apology. Sometimes he admits he has a problem. Most of the time he promises it will get better.... Other times on the other hand, he says things like ALL husbands do/should check on their wives and vice versa... It hasn't really gotten any better. Mostly I've just learned how to avoid the 'problem areas'... for example, weird things like stepping out during certian commericals to having no male friends.
He's off his rocker. My husband doesn't have a fb account and isn't my pal on here and doesn't get all weird about my online activity. My husband is secure in our relationship, and while he has some insecurities I don't think it would ever occur to him that I would ever step out on him . . . because he trusts me. I have guy friends, I've always had guy friends. He accepts me for who I am, and doesn't require me to conform to his insecure craziness.0 -

Counseling. Stat. This is NOT healthy. You shouldn't have to modify "normal" behavior in order to avoid confrontations with him.0 -
Never in my 13 yrs w/my hubby have I ever had the urge or audacity to spy on him. I trust him 100% and vice versa. My life is an open book. As a matter of fact my FACEBOOK page is always open on my computer , so he usually logs me out to log in his..LOL.
There have been times when people have said that I am naive and should be more alert to where he goes but I am a strong believer in seeing versus speculating. We both mad a pact that if one of us ever cheats and we find out. The bags will be packed in front of the house no questions asked.0 -

I think if you are uncomfortable that this is a genuine problem. I have known several women in abusive relationships where they were not allowed to have friends, specially of the opposite sex and all forms of communication (FB, email, texts, phone calls) were monitored. I'm not trying to infer at all that it is the same sort of situation, only you can know that, but as a grown adult you should be able to pursue your rights freely without feeling shackled by anything. My advice would be to talk with him about the underlying issue, what he feels that he accomplishes by doing that behavior, and how he feels while doing it. However it sounds like you've tried and that hasn't really accomplished anything. If it really bothers you, change your passwords, set everything to private, and logout. Maybe he'll get the hint that you don't appreciate it.
And if you're looking for proof that not all husbands do this, I think that the consensus of all the posters here would be that their significant others don't do that. Which I can back up as well, my husband couldn't care less what I do on my computer and vice versa.0 -
My husband is occasionally nosy on my facebook. Haven't caught him on MFP yet. It's a little irritating, but he's insecure and it makes him feel better so I don't really care.0

Ok im slowly losing sympathy for you hubby. That is controlling and obsessive. My boyfriend was like that for a bit, but I stompped that out real quick. Oh i guess I should add we were in HIGH SCHOOL. Now that we are 21, 23 years old we aren't like that at ALL anymore. I started applying al lhis rules to him, and then he got it. I wouldn't let him talk to his girl friends (which he has always had a ton of) and He couldn't go out anywhere with them. He realized how dumb it was because he was just friends with them, and now he doesn't care. Only time he ever tells me not to talk to a guy again is if he hits on me, or does something to creep me out, in which case I was done talking to him anyway. My suggestion? Do what you please. He married you, he has to learn to live with YOU not what he wants YOU to be. Its part of a relationship, learning how to accept an not change. 6 years has taught me a lot about myself, and being able to stand up for myself and be ME is what has made this a healthy happy relationship, good luck!0 -
My husband doesn't have a FB account or is he on here but I have nothing to hide so it wouldn't bother me the least if he "spied" on me.0

So next time we meet up, you're bringing the baby oil, right?
I'll bring the swing and all the leather stuff.
I hate sending messages on this thing. I can never tell if they're private or not.
This one is, right?
Fake edit: JOKES!
Remember you loaned the handcuffs to me, I should be done once I find the key I misplaced. My wife hates being stuck in the basement..0 -
not cool. in fact it is a really unpleasant. I could not be with someone who spied on me at all0
-
No. My hubby does not spy on me and I wouldn't spy on him.0

My husband is sometimes very jealous of my male friends, but I made this a firm line. We fought about it over and over again for a long time, but eventually he learned to respect and trust me. It is NOT okay for anyone to dictate who you're friends with. It took us a long time to get through, but my husband now trusts that they're just friends and respects that I need to have a life outside of him. It's hard, but that's absolutely not okay.0 -
I trust my wife, so no. She has a FB account, while I do not.
She is friends with me on here, and doesn't care about me
having female friends.Your husband sounds like an insecure man. Nothing sexier. /sarcasm

Nobody has asked if you have given your husband a reason to be spying on you.
I love how everyone just assumes he is insecure.
And vice versa.
Cool. So this has always been the norm for the relationship, and this is normal for him. Is there a reason it is bothering you now and wasn't before?
I just thought, and he told me it would get better.0 -
Ok I'm mystified...why would he get mad or upset if you stepped out during certain commercials??0
-
I would ask him why he feels like he needs to spy on you. Is he just interested or is he insecure/jealous?
He's been cheated on by just about every ex. He thinks this is preventitive mantience...0 -
Define "spying". Is he logging into your accounts behind your back, or is he just reading the same stuff you post for the rest of the world to see? If it's the latter, I'd bet he's just bored, and thinks you're one of the more interesting things on the internet. If it's the latter, it's a whole different issue.
Ok.. My hubby and I doing this with our teenaged daughter who we recently caught looking at p*0rn on the 'net. For us, it's a trust issue. We can't trust her to behave so she needs supervision. If my hubby were doing this to me, I'd be really upset with him because for him to do that, he would have to NOT trust me.0 -

If he has been cheated on so much in the past, I understand why he has this problem trusting you. But that doesn't really mean it's ok. It's up to you how much you're willing to put up with, but I wouldn't rule out a little couples counseling.0
-
Nope. If mine tried it, I would poke him in his spying eyeballs. Moe-and-Curly style. *doink*0
-
My husband treats me very well and is nice to me and respects me. He's very secure within himself and our relationship and he trusts me 100%. He never goes through my Facebook or MFP or phone or anything like that. My goodness, I don't know how or why you put up with it, if my husband didn't trust me or believe in my faithfulness it would break my heart. I'd be absolutely shattered.0
