Snooping stories

Snooping stories

BY KIMBERLEY HIBBERT 

PEOPLE snoop because they’re suspicious and looking for confirmation about what they suspect. Sometimes the gut feeling is right, but finding or not finding anything incriminating can lead to more mistrust and ultimately does more harm than good.Sianna, 22:Kathlyn, 30:Angella, 28:Marlon, 42:Rolan, 37:Yasir, 40:

When All Woman spoke to six people, only three — all females — admitted to snooping. Below, the women tell what they’ve found, and the men weigh in on why snooping is pointless.

I did it once and I just checked his messages. I saw that he sent a love song to someone he considered just a friend. It was pretty upsetting because I could not understand why you would send a “friend” a love song.

I don’t regret it. I saw things I didn’t like, but I don’t regret doing it. What I saw suggested that he is an exhibitionist. Rather than get intimate with me, he would do sex acts on his webcam and ask random people to also indulge.

That’s why he’s the ex. At the time I looked at his MSN Messenger and that’s how I found out he was cheating on me.

It makes no sense doing that. If you have to do that it means you have issues and something is wrong. It’s either trust issues or you’re not ready to settle down.

That’s a waste of time. I’m not interested in seeing what any woman does on social media or in her private space.

Snooping is 100 per cent a female thing. Chances are you will find something you don’t like and you will get upset, possibly blow it out of proportion, and then you end up single. Does that make any sense?
