death to snoopy.

7.24.2009



i have to say, i might be the QUEEN of "20 questions". whom ever im seeing/dating/sleeping with..i definitely hit them with questions, not only get to know them, but of course to be nosey!!

"do you have..."


  • baby momma?

  • girlfriend?

  • diseases?


-giggles- yea i know, i know, but id rather be nosey then a SNOOP. its really not cool to go through peoples things, including, but not limited to, cell phones, handbags, luggage, private letters/mail, phone books..anything that you should be asking permission to see. you cant go looking for dirt and get mad when you find some.



i know there is a LOT of temptation to go through a guy/girl(s) things when they arent looking, thinking that you will find something that will maybe validate your beliefs about something, 9 times out of 10, we have made up. and why the hell are we looking for a confirmation of DIRT?? its like the wacky people that go on maury povich for lie detector tests and cheaters for surveillance, and then STILL end up staying with their significant other, even after digging for the "truth". whats the point of driving yourself crazy, if you have that much doubt..you probably shouldn't be with that person. true story. speaking of cheaters, they never air any of the cases where they found NOTHING, i wonder what that archive looks like!



iv never been the "snooping" type, because i myself, value my own privacy, and i would hate to deny someone else that same right, its almost criminal. double standards = not cool (if you can help it!). besides, could you imagine searching for the worst and finding NOTHING-and then getting caught! can you really come back from that? lets just be honest, finding someone your in a relationship with going through your things just to find some proof of their own beliefs, can show lack of trust, obviously, and lack of character. and can you still be with them? finding out that your mate suffers from paranoia? because if your searching for something to validate your accusations, that means you have NO proof, maybe just innuendo, gossip, or bad nerves. again, paranoia.



im definitely not saying that every situation you dig for dirt you will come up empty handed, but in most cases, we give SECOND, or third chances anyway, just so they can do whatever you caught them doing, AGAIN, only better and more privately. so why trouble yourself with doubt and curiosity, it killed the cat anyway.



my opinion, SNOOPING IS LAME. keep looking for something to fuss over, and trust me, you will find it. and if you do not find it, im sure yall will fuss over you looking for it. LACK of trust is that one thing that will break the back of any relationship-i dont care who you are. i refuse to go thru another man's phone or computer, laptop, etc. as a matter of fact, im not even interested. im more interested in building a bond through trust, and if he is doing something shady on the side, let the guilt eat him, if that doesnt work, then believe in the saying so many of you preach "the truth always comes to light".



bottom line-if the person your with has something tucked away in secrecy, it doesnt mean that its necessarily bad or that its infidelity, it could be something that has nothing to do with you whatsoever. for you to discover that on your own, is kinda fucked up. ask questions, without defensive reactions, show your trustworthy, and im sure they will come to you when ready. dont make them have to take your skepticism in the ass. there's an obviously reason why you have been cut out of that persons privacy - and you've proved HIS suspicions by going through it.

22 people had something to say.:

Girl, I am with you 100%. I use to be the "snooper" always checkin thru my boyfriends phone, email, myspace, ect. *never one of my jumpoffs, they were not important enough for me to care what they were doing* which led me to think that because I cared so much about him, I didnt want to get hurt so I snooped not to validate suspicions but to make sure nothing was going on. A few times I did find something that raised a lot of red flags but I then realized that you cant go thru all that and get upset if you find something, you are asking for it. But I still hold on to my belief that there are times where I see no problem with it, if you aint doin nothing what you got to hide? But its all about trust in a relationship, if you dont have it, then you need to let him/her go! It will only drive you crazy, as it almost did me. Now I dont go thru anything, I have ALLL his passwords and everything, but I know that his privacy is his privacy. yes we are in a relationship but that does not mean he is not entitled to being able to have some sort of space to himself.

Great blog Brook

Very Nice! If you don't have trust what do you have anyway? Thank You Brook for this great post!

Black Socialite! July 24, 2009 7:01 PM  

preach, brook.

my man will tell me all his passwords, and all that shit but I refuse to go snooping about phones, twitter accounts, myspace, facebook, none of that. it's just not worh it at all.

i have to agree 100 with your blog. if you go looking for something you gonna either find what you are looking for or get caught. karma is a bitch, what goes around comes around, so if you feel your significant other is doing dirt believe you me it will come back.trust is the back bone of any relationship, once its lost its hard to get back.

Snooping starts at very young. I know girls who automatically start going through the phones of whoever they talking to.

I hate people who find numbers and just call to asks strangers what their relationship is with "so and so". Are you that insecure and trust-less? ugh!

I don't have the urge to go through my man's personal stuff just because. Some people who do that are living in guilt. Their mind set is "if I am getting away with all this shit, I know he/she is too"

Good post!

hmm i never go through any guys things... whats in the dark will come to light. but i did peek at the silent partners twitter groupies and i must say they have nothing on MOI...LMAO..okay im outta here. love u brooky

I have to agree when you search.. your bound to find something that's going to hurt your feelings or your pride either way, you loose. Snooping only comes when there is no trust. Thats when you need to ask the question why do you even find the need to ponder... and if its that serious, you dont trust your partner. Or you, yourself are looking for something to justify the wrong you may be doing yourself...

Funny you should mention the "snooper"! I typically can't stand ppl who snoop, it's SUCH the turnoff. However, I found myself digging a few years ago when my bf @ the time left his email account open on my computer. Now, initially I was going to close this email...until I saw a message dead smack in the middle of the screen from none other than...my BFF (or so I thought). Naturally curiosity DID kill the cat, I opened it, read it...and neeless to say it was some backstabbin' isht goinzon. Had 2 cut the both of them off. That was the 1st and last of my "snooping adventures"...I'll NEVER do it again. Cuz you will 9x out of 10 find what you're looking for, and be hurt in the end. It's not even worth it!

So, I'm with you Mz. Brook hunni on the 21(+) questions...it'll all come out when the time is right.

(PS-Ur blog entries r pretty dope btw...it's a lot of "Real" isht goin' on over here...LUVZ it!)
Toodles mama...

I'm behind you 110% on this. The phrase "Seek and you shall find" relates to this topic also. And another thing if you feel the need to snoop B/C of suspicion then your suspicion is more than likely true anyway. Your entries are so "REAL LIFE" and i can relate...Thats why I just started my own. Deuces(2222)

I wish I could say that my number one gripe with snooping is that people deserve privacy, but that's not it for me. The thing that turns me off about snooping is that it turns into an endless cycle. Once you do it the first time you're going to keep doing it, even if you repeatedly find nothing. It boils down to simply not having a strong foundation of trust in your man/woman and your relationship. I've never looked into something that I wasn't already given the password to. However, even being given a password is too much temptation for me. It drives me crazy. Since I can't keep my own self in check, I just don't accept passwords anymore.

Furthermore, when you snoop everything looks suspicious. Something that could be so simple can sound totally like something that its not. Snooping sensationalizes everything you read. It's just not worth it.

Wow! Nice blog brook, your hot too. Im just showin you some love, please hit me back with a comment or start to follow/subscribe my blog http://lostintheawesomeness.blogspot.com and I'll return the favor ;)

The Missus July 27, 2009 5:08 AM  

i use to do the same thing. The thing that is so crazy is when you find something then what? 9 times out of 10 he's going to tell some lie that we can't disprove. And since we love him we will always give him the benefit of the doubt. So why be stressed out when he is not.I stopped checking my man's phone years ago and leave a much more contentlife because of it.

You know how much i hate agreeing with you .... but damnit ... that was a 3 pointer plus a foul!!! GREAT POST!

DONT LOOK FOR SOMETHING YOU WISH YOU WONT FIND , CUZ IF YOU DO FIND IT .. YOU ARE GONNA WISH YOU NEVER LOOKED.


"IF YOU DONT BELIEVE THE PERSON YOU ARE WITH ... I DONT BELIEVE YOU SHOULD BE WITH THAT PERSON"

i can go on and on .. but ill stop.

Me personally, I couldn't be with some1 I don't trust..u'll ALWAYS have a lot of unnecessary bullshit coming ur way. And a paranoid mofo is a scary mofo & those r the ones u watch out for, ain't no telling wut they're capable of...I couldn't fux w/it @ ALL!!!
