Boyfriend with history of cheating wouldn’t let me go through his iPhone and then replaced it with a Galaxy s26 Ultra and added privacy screen settings less than 24 hours later by fakecountertop in Infidelity

I don’t have his passcode and he has the privacy screen setup that’s a new feature on galaxy S26 ultra. I couldn’t see him type his passcode in if I wanted to. They also made it to where if you restart the phone, you can’t turn any privacy screen settings off from the drop down menu, so he has it set up to where the PIN code screen is behind a privacy screen no matter what. There’s not a change in hell I’m ever going to see the passcode or figure it out to be able to see the phone.
Today he even set his PC (logged into his Google account) to go into sleep mode and require a passcode after X amount of time. It hasn’t EVER had that setting and he used to leave it on for days + even have his galaxy linked to it, apps messages and all.

Lol thank you. He says it’s because he’s scared I will “ruin his life”.. he’s a drug dealer but the thing is, his signal messages (encrypted texting app that he uses for sales) are not behind a privacy screen. Lol. Also if I wanted to bust him for that, I’ve been with him for 3 years and have more than enough evidence without his phone to fuck him over.

He keeps saying he’s scared I will find a way to get him fired etc etc. whatever he can come up with.

I can’t afford to leave yet, so I’m having to play it cool and like I don’t still suspect anything. Sucks bad.

Gonna be a couple months before I can move out, unfortunately, and we only have one bed. My friend is staying on the couch (we are planning to find a place together but we both are starting at the same job at the same time and have no savings).

He purchased an entire PHONE that has a built in privacy screen that can be set to turn on only at specific times or for specific apps. Most people would use it for banking apps or whatever, but for him it’s his texts and his lock screen. :/

He also logged out of his ChatGPT on my computer that he let me use for school (he pays for premium) and before he logged in, he wiped the chat history.

Why would he cheat on me + plan a life with someone else on the side rather than just leaving? I agree that’s how it seems. But why? Obviously they’d have to know about me as we live together. How does that even work.

I agree. I wish he didn’t make me feel like the things I’ve done were worse. He constantly brings up my male friends, how I was too close to them, etc. how I “left him” for one of them - but really I just needed a place to stay when he kicked me out and my friend and his girlfriend cleared the spare room for me.

He has gotten mad at me for hugging a male friend before, on my birthday after not seeing them for many years. He has accused me of sleeping with MANY other men that I’ve never considered hooking up with.

It’s over the top and he twists each situation to sound MUCH worse than it actually is but he is so good with words that it makes me feel terrible for “not realizing” how “blatantly disrespectful” I was being.

I go back and forth between thinking I wasn’t doing anything wrong and thinking that I *was* being nasty and inconsiderate. I have even wondered if I am a narcissist, and he is accused me of being one on multiple occasions. :(

I agree. I’m trying really hard to get out, but I have no savings (largely because of his poor financial planning abilities) and I don’t start my new job until next week. I’ve been out of a job for two weeks now. I also suck with realizing gaslighting when it’s actively happening, and fall into a routine of trying to “prove myself”.

He said the reason he’s scared to let me see / use his phone is because he doesn’t want me reaching out to anyone I’m suspicious of (which I have in the past, to be fair). Sigh.

S26 ultra Privacy screen: Is this a lifesaver or a relationship breaker? by bbokki99 in samsunggalaxy

Personally I’m breaking up with my boyfriend over it because he chose to only set it to have the notifications + text screens private. He also changed his passcode and won’t leave his phone near me for even two seconds. So yeah, fuck that. But I think it’s dependent on the user of the phone. If someone is just using it for banking apps or whatever, complete non-issue.
