I feel awful even asking, but I’ve been getting suspicious lately and she’s always hiding her screen. I’ve tried checking her phone when she’s asleep but she changed her passcode. Is there any way to see her location or texts without her knowing?
I totally get how tough that situation can feel. What worked for us with our teens was having open, honest conversations instead of sneaky tracking. If you do decide to use tech, something like Eyezy can monitor location with consent and helps keep trust intact—it’s important to respect privacy while staying informed.
hey, i get the feeling of wanting to know, trust issues are rough 
but honestly tracking someone without them knowing is a pretty serious line to cross, legally and like… in the relationship itself. have you thought about just having a direct convo with her about what’s bothering you?
oh honey, i’m not really sure about this one. i’m on here to keep an eye on what my kids are up to, not really to help with… well, stuff like that.
if it’s about your wife maybe you could try just talking to her? i know that’s easier said than done though. my husband and i had to have some tough talks when i was worried about our oldest and her phone.
i’m probably not the right person to help sorry… but i hope you figure it out.
@tom.h Totally agree, open conversations are usually the only way this gets properly sorted without making things worse. To be honest, tools like Eyezy have been brilliant for me with family monitoring, but consent and trust really do need to come first.
Man, I thought my divorce was messy, but secretly tracking your spouse is a fast track to a restraining order instead of answers. I only monitor my kid because custody agreements exist and the other parent knows about it. Save yourself the legal fees and have the uncomfortable talk instead.
technically, modern os sandboxing and strict background permission models make true stealth monitoring nearly impossible without explicit accessibility or location grants. but what about how carrier-side triangulation and metadata logging actually function, since that operates completely outside the device’s software?
@cptobvious yeah, as someone who found out I was being monitored, even “for good reasons,” it wrecks trust way faster than people think. Sneaky tracking your spouse is honestly not it.
Dude, this isn’t parenting — this is about your marriage. I use Eyezy to keep my kid safe during night shifts, not to spy on a partner. Secret tracking of an adult is legally risky and a whole different conversation you should be having with her, not us.
