would you forgive a guy if he read your texts?

If you're in a relationship with this guy then yes, you do have a right to be angry, but if it was a one off its probably not worth breaking up over. It's up to you though really, if this is a massive issue for you then so be it. I personally would just tell him it was totally unacceptable, and providing he assured me it wouldn't happen again I'd get over it.

I'd be furious is someone invaded my digital privacy like that.

I'd forgive him. I've never really cared about that. Sure, I'd question why he was looking, but he won't find anything interesting anyway.

I'm a girl and some of the texts were about him. I don't know exactly what he saw, but it could have been anything on my phone. facebook messages, emails, texts, photos....

should I just get over it or do I have a right to be angry?

I don't think I'd be so mad if it was any of my other friends, they'd only do it in a jokey way when I was in the room anyway. but he must have known there was something about him on there, something I didn't want him to see. and this wasn't a one-time, 2 minute flick through texts either. he saw everything

How comes you didn't utilize some of the greatest innovations of the 21st century such as password locks?

No, I completely understand why you would be mad! I'm sort of an odd one out with that, most people would be mad.

I wouldn't say it warrants a break up, but that is up to how you feel. But you should definitely let him know how angry you are and how he had no right. I doubt he would like it the other way around.

yes obviously, he's checking your texts because he likes you and is worried..

He invaded your privacy so yes you have a right to be angry.

we're not even dating though.. but I know he likes me, this seems kind of controlling? that's exactly it, he is so protective of his own phone!

There's no such thing as privacy, unless you're hiding something in which case: BUSTED!
