I’ve been having some trust issues in my relationship lately, and I’m wondering if there’s a legal way to use a monitoring app to read my girlfriend’s text messages. I know privacy laws can be strict, so I want to make sure I’m not breaking any rules. Has anyone found a legitimate app that works for this purpose, and did you need your partner’s consent before installing it? I’d appreciate any advice on how to handle this situation without getting into legal trouble.
Hey FrostWarden, as a dad, I can tell you—if my kid tried to sneak a peek at my texts, I’d just send him a bunch of dad jokes! 
Seriously though, spying without consent is a fast track to the doghouse (and maybe even jail). Maybe try talking it out—communication is the real cheat code!
