bf phone issue

Went on a day out with bf to York to celebrate 6 months, ended up arguing twice because I checked his phone and saw images of girls , some which were naked. I confronted him and asked me why? I said that it's because I was curious. And asked why anyone would go looking for nothing? Is it hard to believe that I just went through his phone out of curiosity and wasn't trying to find anything?
Tbh, putting it simply, it makes it seem as though you don't trust him. Plus, the fact you said you looked for nothing could make it look like you're covering up that you were actually attempting to look for something (going back to the not trusting him part)
Would you be ok if he went through your phone?

Yeah, and he does. But with permission. I've done it with permission apart from this one time.

Fair enough (I have apologised for this by the way, just reflecting on it)
That is the problem with looking at someone's phone...if you find something to confront them with they're going to throw back that you're the one who is wrong for not respecting their privacy... it's kind of a no win situation. But, it he had pics of nude girls on there ummmm.....big red flag!! That's not okay (imo) if he's in a 6 mo relationship!

I'd take it as a bad sign that you dont respect someone elses privacy. The fact you did it was dumb and the fact you confronted him made it even more dumb.

Clear lack of trust here, to be honest this relationship is in trouble. Personally I wouldn't be happy anyone going through my phone, at the same time it does seem wrong that he does have naked images of girls.

Naked images of girls? Well I would draw the distinction between it being some porn to actual girls he is in contact with. Maybe its zero tolerance for both in which case she should check his phone each day or make him agree to random inspections.
While what you did was wrong-ish (I think people can look through people's phones out of curiosity, but to do so behind their back is a mistake) what he did was wrong too, and it sounds like he's deflecting attention from his argument and arguing about lack of trust rather than admitting what he did is wrong.

He kept doing it and he apologised but didn't see it as wrong. And i admitted to what I did was wrong. Anyway, we're on a break now.

In which case you are both in the wrong.

Putting your invasion of privacy aside (some people take that very seriously), then you should seriously think about dumping him as its immature and disloyal to you. He's going to do it again, so think on whether you mind or whether you find it annoying/disloyal or hurtful? You shoul dump him imo, he doesnt really care about you.

Yeah, fair enough and I've given him a break. And he's exited the groupchat and always blocks and deletes the girls that pop up to him , because they are the ones who send nudes. he doesn't ask for them. They just try and tempt him while knowing he is in a relationship

In whih case you have to decide whether you believe him and you trust him. he might be telling you the truth or you are happy with it or it might be a load of rubbish. Just decide what you want.
