From time to time, you may vent to your friends and family about your significant other - but it doesn't mean you love them any less. It just means that sometimes you need another outlet to share your feelings and emotions, and that's totally okay. However, one woman was left baffled when her husband saw an intimate, private chat between her and a family member, all because he typed in her password and helped himself to her phone while she was taking a shower.
She shared that she'd been venting to a family member about something her husband's family had done that had frustrated her. "My husband looked through my phone, saw me vent my frustrations, and then asked if I thought he and his family were a joke," she penned.
Taking to Mumsnet, the woman explained that she told her husband that his family was not a joke to her; however, she "was frustrated with them," as they kept telling her husband "untrue" things about her - and she couldn't vent to him, because it's about his family.
She continued: "He read my vent, got upset at me for venting [...] and afterwards, I changed my password because I thought if he's going to get upset about me venting my frustrations to a trusted individual and family member, but doesn't want me to vent them to a friend or even my therapist, but also doesn't actually listen/understand when I try to broach the topic with him, I can't just hold it in.".
She then asked if she was being unreasonable for changing her phone password in this way, saying she didn't want it to look "sketchy". But she wanted some validation on the subject she was venting about – and for someone to understand where she was coming from.
