Hello everyone! My name is Ade and my steemit handle is @adeade. I am here to participate in the discussion entitled 'Should I check my partner's phone' organized by @boylikegirl.club .

No matter how unethical it is, we still feel the urge; as a result of this, we become more curious about what our partner does with their phone.

This is ethical and it is the right thing to do.
