How private is private? Can I not answer my spouse’s
cellphone when it is just next to me? Are there any
secrets that might be revealed in the messages?
Space, yes, and I should not be eavesdropping
whenever she is on the phone.
But how much space should be given in a marriage?

Sounds to me that the both of you need to discuss the level of respect not space. If you suspect your spouse being unfaithful then you might not be able to control yourself when/if things present itself. You might want to have a sit down and talk about what’s on your mind before making things worst.
Now a days with the dialouge and shortcut text messages, you will need a text dictionary to keep up.

Good Luck

Thanx for the advice Zilja

Does are things you need to agree on. If she does not want you answering her cellphone let it be.
Marriage is based on trust not control.
One major reason I have never cheated on my husband is because he never did the same to me, as far as I am aware and because he trusts me.
a smart person may beat controls but an ass betrays trust.

99.9% of the calls I make are made with his phone. . Me ke, use my credit? For where

Your spouse is also part of your private life.so you have not separate property

Got nowt to hide when in a relationship.

Even girlfriends are allowed to go through if they so wish as long as it doesn't become a compulsive routine.

However, horses for courses I guess.
