I snooped on my husband for the first time ever… and got candy instead of chaos

So my husband and I have been together for 5 years, married for 1 (October 11th, we just hit that milestone!). I’ve never gone through his phone or email—just feels like a weird boundary I’ve never wanted to cross.

But the man used my phone to check his email and didn’t log out. I don’t know what came over me, but curiosity got the best of me and I peeked. Searched for “Bumble,” “Tinder,” “Blindr”… you know, the usual red flag suspects.

And what did I find?

Cancellation emails. From years ago. Back when we first got together. My heart stopped for like half a second before I realized what they were, then I just kind of laughed at myself and let out the biggest sigh of relief. 😮‍💨

I told him about it when he came home on his lunch break, fully ready to admit I was nosy for once. He looked at me, dramatically stood up, pulled out his phone, and said he was calling the cops for a citizen’s arrest because I violated his rights. I was this close to laughing myself into next week.

Instead of handcuffs, he pulled out a bag of Reese’s from Dollar General—my favorite—and said they were on sale since it’s October 1st.

So yeah, I invaded his privacy and got chocolate. Wouldn’t recommend it as a habit, but it worked out this time.

Not all men cheat. Some of them just buy you candy and make dumb jokes when you confess to light digital trespassing.
