Do You hit the send button on the cell phone with confidence?

If We have the right to privacy from our spouses because of a piece of technology that allows us to talk to anyone anywhere anytime without anyone knowing what is being said, the ability to take send and receive pictures and videos all privately do we always make the decision to do the right thing our do we take liberties and cross lines we would not have crossed before the technology existed?

Just ASK yourself this question you hit the send button a bus hits you and you are dead on the spot, When Your grieving spouse collects your belongings and in there grieving process they open that cell phone are you going to be 100% positive that nothing they find is going to cause them pain, doubt, confusion???

Something to think about when your using that very "Private" piece of technology because it is not yours anymore Your spouse has just inherited it.

    I LOVE THIS!!! i just wanted to say that. it made me think and relate to a lot of people and situations where they (my sister) thought it was ok to receive a pic of her ex boyfriend (nude) if she deleted it after looking!

    i couldn't ever get it through her head that its still considered wrong! if i receive a text from a old friend or ex or anything that would some how get back to my husband and would hurt him even unknowingly i don't jack with it!!! one thing every guy and girl need to think about is this every time you read that text, sneak peek at that photo or send that dirty comment make sure and try to imagine how it would feel if you found that on your husband/bf phone or caught him looking at it!

    it'll def. make you think about things before you do them! at least if you have any conscience it should!

    Source(s): past experience and a loopy sister! lol

    You already assumed that the technology was used for extramarital affairs. If that is so then, something is going to cause pain, doubt and everything. But to generalize that everyone is on the wrongdoing is unfair. Confidence therefore, will depend on how well you know your spouse. Even if, assuming you know your spouse that well, you might have missed something you have not known until you open the phone for a big surprise. Ok, your point is probably true. There is less and less confidence in that matter because technology has always been used for convenience not only for the modern life but also for the little old infidelity ways.

    That's interesting you should say that. It wasn't my wife but when my mom died I had her cell phone.. My mom was suddenly rushed to the hospital and pass away shortly after. I was in a lot of pain and a lot of shock. After a few days I looked at her cell phone. I read her text messages. I looked for old conversations we have had. Things like that. Things to make me feel better. What I saw was the amount of kindness she showed to all of her family and friends. Her text messages were full of nice words about others. It made me feel good. I can't imagine if I saw words that were disturbing. It would have broken me.

    hit the send button for what? haha dont worry its highly unlikely that you would get run over by a bus and your spouse will read your hidden text messages to some men..

    if i were you just delete the inbox and sent items after sending and receiving them.. that case no trace is left..

    LOL. Okay.

    Everyone can read all my messages and look at my phone log. My life is an open book.

    The only thing I ask is that, after I'm dead, my children destroy the DVD in my bedroom drawer that is marked "confidential" without looking at it. If not...they can pay for their own therapy.

    There is nothing questionble in my phone. I have never looked at the phone numbers in my husband's phone. I trust him. I wouldn't be married to a man I didn't trust. Part of that is me choosing to trust, and part of it is him being trustworthy. We're both 46, and we're pretty happy.

    if your living a clean descent life, its a no brainer. but if you do questionable things then i think your ultimately taking that chance that you will cause someone you love pain. confidence comes from the integrity that you live with, and shouldn't be something that becomes questionable once your dead.

    There is absolutely nothing on my phone that I wouldn't want my husband to see. But then again I wouldn't care if he went through my photos, address book, or call history now.

    lol i see your point. well, when the person is dead everything else doesn't matter anymore. pride is only for the living.

    a pervert is a pervert. one doesn't suddenly become one because it is private.
