Answering your partners mobile

[Gibbo]

What are your opinions on answering your partners mobile if they are not there and it is ringing? Are you invading their privacy? Should they not bother as they should have nothing to hide? What do you think?

[wooldridge]

if you are at home do you answer the phone? yes! it should not matter if you answer it you would if it was your home phone. once you are married you become 1. eather one should be able to answer each others phone w/ out question.if someone is getting up set abbout it than you should start asking questions.

Hello

I would just answer it, at the end of the day it should not matter as if you are together you would trust each to know that its ok to answer each others phones.  However a partner who looks through the memory of your calls ie looking at you received calls or dialled numbers that clearly shows that your partner doesnt trust you if they go through you phone but answering a call is no biggy.

well i dont really care who answers my phone but i know if i call someone and cant get through anyone answering is apperciated

I'd have no probs with my guy answering my phone if it rang, as everyone else have said, we/I have nothing to hide from each other.  I would be unhappy if he read a txt/pic message that came through - why? I'm not sure really, cos if I'm happy for him to answer my phone it shouldn't matter if it's a ringing phone/text or whatever.

dont answer it, thats what voicemail is there for, and the last number dialled, and caller id and all the other widgets they cram onto the phone to let the person who the call was intended for a chance to work out who called. Having said that if they have nothing to hide and the phone keeps ringing as if someone ws absolutely desperate to get in contact then i would say thats fine provided it seemed an important or urgent reason (i.e- his mum is dialing for the 6th time in 20 mins)

If my partner answered mine tho i would be miffed cos it is so rare it makes a squeak that if she was to get to my only call of the year and i missed out i would be ready to throttle her hehe.

Sorry thomasina, but I think you have an issue with trust. I see no problem with my partner (now wife) answering my phone. If I had something to hide, then I'm sure I'd keep the thing with me all the time! Why is it any different from someone ringing your landline and asking to speak to you partner? Are you that insecure?

Myself and my Girlfriend answer each others phones, neither of us have anything to hide and do not see it as an invasion of each others privacy.

I thought the clue would be in the title..MOBILE PHONE...hence its mobile so why would you have wandered off without it in the first place. Its not like they are heavy or anything. Well unless you have one of those on the 3 network thats like a medium sized Red telephone box. But if you have left it and it rings I wouldn't expect anyone to answer it as its my number and they have called to talk to me. The landline however is for everyone libing in the house.

i think this is more of a question of trust, if u have nothing to hide why should you feel that your partner shouldn't answer your phone vise versa, at the end of the day it's only a phone call n we're all trying to communicate.

Like sammylane, I think that it is no different to answering a landline, when the call could be for a number of people. My husband and I often answer each other's phones, and would pass a message on as appropriate - after all if it is an important call, surely it is better for the caller to know that the message will be passed on, rather than wondering if and when the person will pick up their voicemail.

I would only answer his phone if i know who it is by the name that appears, otherwise i would just pass it to him so he can answer it himself. He never answers mine as it only ever rings when he is phoning me.

i would expect people to answer my phone if i'd left the room, its just convenient. also, could be emergency, the person on the other end mite need to speak to someone who is near the person or knows the person. if that makes sense.

[ahar]

i would want people to answer my phone, especially if i was havin a poo or something coz it mite be quite important, it would be silly just to sit there listenin to phone ringing. just bloody stupid really. also it mite be an emergency. someone broken down in car without AA card or something.

[ahar]

i would want people to answer my phone for me, especially if i was just havin a poo in the next room or something. it would be silly to just sit there listening to it ringing, just bloody stupid. and it could be an emergency, someone broken down in car without their AA card or something like that.

[ahar]

raaaa. i dont know why my answers wont post. anyway, what i said is that i would want someone to answer my phone if i was havin a poo in the next room and unable to get to it. also, it could be an emergency, caller could be broken down without their AA card, or they could be calling to say "your sister's going into labour" or something.

[ahar]

oh no i think i've posted loads of answers.

Absolutely nothing wrong with answering your partners mobile as long as it isn't a new relationship.  They say curiousity killed the cat but knowing what kind of people your partner interacts with makes the heart grow fonder =P

[celiabedelia]

why are you asking?  Are you suspicious of calls your partner is receiving and looking for justification in anwering while they are not there.

[lauraking72]

you can normally see whose calling on the screen b4 answering anyway. i wouldnt dream of opening a message though, but my hubby would.
