Husband snooped in my phone?!?

I have been with my husband for almost six years, three of which married. He has always given me attitude about going/hanging out with my girlfriends. He goes out and I never say a word 'cause I trust him. Lately things haven't been good.

This morning I left my phone on the charger next to my bed when I took a shower. My husband was still in bed. Later, I came in to get it and pack my stuff for work. I noticed that it was not in the same place I left it. I also have a password pattern lock on my phone because I have left it at work during lunch a few times and didn't want co-workers snooping. The lock tells me if it has been tampered with. Well, this morning it was. He tried getting into my phone.

I'm not doing anything wrong or sneaking behind his back. Although a marriage is supposed to be two people becoming one and blah blah blah...I feel there are some things that need to remain private to the individual. Like my purse, his wallet, my phone, and his phone. I NEVER snoop in his phone or wallet. I am absolutely furious. But I don't know what I should do...

Do I act like I didn't notice? Do I call him out on it? I don't want to seem too defensive or give him a reason to suspect anything by how angry I am. Am I wrong to be upset over this? Any help is appreciated. Thanks :)

Update:

JUST TO BE CLEAR: I can't even vent to my friends about problems because he will fly off the handle and cuss me out for it. THAT'S mostly why I don't want him going through my phone. And as far as co-workers...people are phucking nosy as hell and I smoke weed (legally have a medical card) and I don't want co-workers knowing about it. I've had co-workers snoop and rat me out before.

    In my opinion, one you are married there is no keeping things private. What do you have in your phone or purse that you dont want him to see? The best way to keep the marriage strong is full disclosure. Nothing should be off limits. You shouldnt be furious at him for looking in your phone, nor should he be furious at you for looking in his phone. Same goes for wallet, purse, briefcase, etc.. If there is nothing to be hidden, it doesnt matter if you or he has access to it. Now, theres a difference between having access to and snooping. If he was going into your phone to get a number he doesnt have, fine. But I dont agree with him or you reading the others text messages. I for one text with my brother quite frequently about work, my marriage and whatever. Those text messages may include some "venting" that im able to do with my brother because I trust him. Doesnt mean i dont love my wife, but sometimes you need to vent! you know what i mean. So if he is going in your phone to snoop, you need to nip that in the bud. But there should be no reason that he doesnt have your phone code, but you also need to make it very clear that you are being honest in your marriage, but the text messages are off limits. Hope I helped!

    He doesn't trust you. For some reason he never fully did or something has happened that makes him feel that way. I always felt like you, like certain things should be private, even in marriage. Until recently when my husband got into some things and I knew he wasn't being completely honest with me. I have NEVER done this to anyone before. I don't condone it. But I know the reason I did it was bc he had lied to me about some things and he broke my trust. The best thing to do is talk to him. Tell him how you feel. He probably did it bc he he feels a disconnect from you. So rather than shutting down bc you mad at him, take this as an opportunity to communicate about issues in your relationship. He feels isolated from you for some reason.

    Marigold,

    When he gets home tonight, unlock your phone and give it to him. Tell him next time just ask? Also let him know why you keep your phone locked and assure him you have nothing to hide from him.

    Let him know you expect the same courtesy in return. Every now and then a guy may get a little insure about the relationship. Really, not a big deal. Male here. Happily married. I wish you well.

    Hmmm,

    There sounds like there are bigger issues here than his attempted hack of your phone.

    My guess is one of two things are going on with your husband:

    1. He's really insecure

    2. He's doing something behind your back, and projecting that behavior onto you.

    As for the phone, approach him, unlock it, and invite him to take a look. He'll be humiliated to find nothing.

    Haha, because you're so important and interesting to your coworkers than they would feel the desire to snoop through your phone?

    Get over yourself lady.....

    What on earth are you so furious about? A husband and wife shouldn't be keeping ANYTHING 'private' from eachother. You say "becoming one and blah blah blah"? You don't have a fv(king CLUE lady. Tell me something dear....WHAT on earth do you think your husband should keep 'PRIVATE' from you???? What should you keep 'private' from your husband? "Oh, my friends text me about their problems and I don't want my husband knowing their business"........it's APPARENT and VERY OBVIOUS to any person on here with half a brain that's it's YOU who has a hard time 'trusting' your husband.

    Go see a marriage therapist......you don't understand the basic principles of being in a marriage.

    JUST TO BE CLEAR: I think ANY man would be upset about his wife's indiscretion and badmouthing him to her friends. Maybe the two of you should be talking to eachother about your 'problems' more than you talk to your friends? Would you like for him to go texting his pals telling them about what a mega cankercvnt you are?

    It's clear that the weed is getting to you. You're so paranoid. None of your coworkers really give a $h1t about you smoking weed 'legally'......perhaps you're messing up your JOB and that's why they have reported you?

    MAIN POINT----there are MANY things you can do and change about yourself in order to improve your relationships with number one---your husband, then your friends, and then your coworkers.

    Seriously, think of the ways you treat and speak about your husband and ask yourself....."Would I want him to treat and talk about me like this." Forget about the fact that he went through your phone and get down to "WHY" did he go through your phone. But flying off the handle about it? You'll make yourself look like an out of control FOOL.

    He doesn't trust you anymore. Talk to him seriously, if u r faith full then u don't have to worry. Ask him what he want to know about you, tell him. Give everything you have.

    so which you assert which you dont choose to end the marriage over something petty? properly he certaintly theory it replace into well worth to have digital intercourse with some one devoid of giving a 2nd theory proper to the way you will sense. Uhm have you ever theory what would of occurred in case you never found out? in case you basically saved being oblivious and not in any respect snooping, trusting him, you extremely have faith he wouldnt have taken it further with this lady? enable me ask you something, once you married him, have been the two one in each and every of you extremely IN LOVE with one yet another? or did you marry with the aid of fact you adult adult males relatives member yet another yet weren't extremely IN love. there's a distinction. huuuuuuuuh, I dont be conscious of lady, i'm sorry you're in this occasion, yet extremely? it extremely is only me, yet I hate it whilst women folk sacrifice their independence, infants and time " for the daddy of my childern" lady you're greater desirable than basically a mom, you're who you're and you deserve somebody who will appreciate you. end throwing away your desires for this " O properly he's the daddy of my youngsters so I would desire to make it paintings" subsequently maximum women folk look like retards who cant think of for themselves, with the aid of fact they want a guy to prepared the ground. in spite of in case you ended it, he DOESNT end being the daddy of your infants with the aid of fact you broke up. in case you have the mentality that " i'd quite not have commonplace" That leads me to have faith which you at the instant are not possibly in love with him in any respect, and only place self assurance in him financially or another issues which you like. in case you extremely have been in love with him, you will choose to be conscious of becasue he would be making you look like a fool, and you will choose greater desirable for your self. Any women folk to me that announces " identity quite not be conscious of" no offense, yet those women folk are to in threat of appreciate themselves
