Invasion of privacy?

[Johnny Rockets]

Girl/guy you have been seeing for a couple of months in a casual way but is beginning to get a bit more serious leaves their FB page open while they go make a phone call. Is it OK to click on the "message" button out of curiousity to see what if anything might be lurking "behind the scenes"?

What if it is your spouse or significant other that you are in a long termed, commited relationship with?

Their fault for sending messages on Facebook they shouldn't be sending.

Also their fault they didn't log out....kinda like passing out with your shoes on.

In this case, I would more than likely hack their status than look at their messages.

The wife and I know each others FB passwords and have free reign to read whatever we want. We have nothing to hide.

In your scenario I say go for it, just don't get caught

tbqh I am torn on this...

In one respect, if you're banging someone, then you've basically been invited into their private life...

At the same time, there are things that still remain "theirs" and not yours... and I suppose this information would fall under that umbrella...

If you don't have the password, then I wouldn't pry...

If you've got a doubt about their loyalty/motives, then there is probably a good reason for it...

Dating a couple of months? yeah probably not a good idea.

Married as long as I have been? What is this privacy thing you speak of?

[mmmbeans]

if someone did it to you would it be invading your privacy?

To be clear....I would never do it. If I feel the need to check up on someone, I wouldn't be with that someone.

I wouldn't click on it..none of my business.

I have nothing to hide..but at the same time..I don't want you reading my sh*t either..

it's like, if my phone rings..don't pick it up and answer it....I wouldn't answer yours

[Panthers128]

Just read it. If it's nothing bad you'll be able to ignore it. If you find out she has HIV, you can take the proper course of action.

A lot to gain and little to lose.

So it must be semi-serious then, grats!

in a serious scenario you have to build real trust, so based on those facts don't read.

so is it a girl or a guy you are involved with JR? It wasn't clear in the OP. Or tranny maybe? Just say yes.

Was she the one complaining about ticket prices at the tailgate?

[Darth Biscuit]

Yes, it's an invasion... not saying I wouldn't be curious, but it would be a breach of trust if someone checked fb messages without prior consent.

Having said that... if you find anything good, tell us. :D

In my opinion, the moment a person clicks on Messages they have violated another's privacy in the situation. It isn't your mail, don't open it.

Granted if they have anything damning in there then that's on them for letting major stuff out on FB.

I've booted several friends out for doing that. It's disrespectful and at the core of it, it isn't there's to be doing that. At the very least try to open it in another window or tab so that they can't click Forward and catch you! :lol:
