Am I nosey or normal?

OK, I have been with my boyfriend for a little over 2 years and there has been problems in the past that put a damper on my trust in him. A couple of times, he has left his e mail and stiff open, not logged out and I, naturally, go looking. He says I am snooping in his things...but to me, I am curious and am looking cuz its there to be seen. Am I nosey or is this normal?

    Without a doubt, you are being nosey.

    If you left your email, letters, and other personal info around, how would you feel if he looked at all of that? Things like this makes relationships very difficult as far as trust issues. Instead of you not trusting him, he may very well not trust you. I actually feel bad for him because he may trust you enough where he can leave the computer without logging out and you not looking into his personal stuff. There's an old saying:

    "If you go looking for something, you may find more than what you're expecting to find."

    Who knows? He may be doing dirt, but wouldn't you rather give him an opportunity to tell you as opposed to discovering that on your own? If you have trust issues with him, don't go snooping for answers, talk to him. You'lll be surprised at the answer you'll get.

    I think that you are being nosey. Would you like it if he went looking into your e-mails and things while you were not looking? If you don't trust him, then what's the point in being in the relationship. A relationship is built on trust.

    Well..the trust issue is the most important thing here...you should be able to trust him without having to go looking around for something bad..and he shouldn't be hiding anything because if he was...he would take extreme measures as to leave that open for you to go in there..so I would just hold back on that because if he's not doing anything you might put a dent on HIM trusting YOU...

    You are looking for trouble. That technically is snooping. Why would you stay with someone you cannot trust? My mom never even opened my dad's snail mail.

    Relationships are built on trust not suspicion. So, you have to ask yourself what is your real motive for looking at his mail. Then there is the question you should ask each other. Does sharing our lives include sharing our e-mail ?

    You're a woman! I think that means being nosey is normal.

    Not normal, invasion of privacy. Sounds like you're looking for something.... Log him out next time, you'll feel better for it.

    If I were your boyfriend I would have told you to hit the curve. This is how it all starts. What you're telling him is that you don't trust him and he really shouldn't be with you if you don't respect his privacy.

    I think that since you are curious, it is normal cause you might not trust him.
