Adult DD Read My Texts

[Anonymous]

She just leaned a lesson! If you don’t want to know something, don’t go snooping. Very rude of her. Hopefully you don’t read her texts? If so, then you deserve it. (I assume you don’t though)

If you have previously asked her not to read your texts, you could be a little annoyed. But I don't understand the level of anger here.

Me too. It’s not so much that I don’t mind. I just assume in a shared household, it could happen. Everyone in my household know my password. I rarely worry about what I say in a text.

Completely missing the point of outrageous breach of trust and privacy.

You should address your breach of her trust and privacy by telling her business to your friends.

This!

She shouldn’t read your texts BUT you shouldn’t be texting anything about her that would cause her to get pissed off when she read it.

I think what you’re doing is worse.

I can’t imagine my parents reading my texts or vice versa except like if one of us was driving and the other needed to read/reply on the drivers behalf. But I also don’t get the outsize anger here. Maybe my text convos are just boring?

Tell her she has a month to find an apartment. Your situation is not working.

Do you in fact over share her personal life with others? Because that’s a huge breach of trust.

Actually OP is at fault. The DC was probably wondering how random relatives have so much knowledge about her personal life. Well now her DC knows where it’s coming from. I sincerely hope OP apologizes and stops oversharing her DC’s personal info.
