Recently i visited my grandmother and as usual, there is never a dull moment as she always has the gossip of the whole neighbouhood that she will tell you whether you like it or not.
In one of her stories was a story about a guy whom i shall call Sipho, a guy who grew up in the very same neighbourhood and done very well for himself and recently got married.
Granny was all praises about this guy until she took a shot-left to give us a low-down about his wife. The only mistake the girl did was to answer Sipho's phone in the presence of my very observent granmother. HER EXACT WORDS WERE: BATHO BA JESITSWE KA MO NTLE'.
The statement really took me by surprise and got me thinking all at the same time. whenever my girlfriend comes to visit, ui always tell her that we should switch off our cellphones as i want to spend all the quality time with her whereas in the rear of my head i just want to avoid all the questions that will follow after getting a call from a female colleegue. On my side, i also fear or rather try to avoid situation wherein i'll have to ask who called my girlfriend (though i never ask).
My question to you bloggers is: do you feel jelous when your respective partners get a call from a friend of opposite sex when you are together? furthermore, do you feel the urge to scroll down the inbox of your partners phone? do you ever resist the attempt to answer or to know who called your partner? Are there any fine lines between my phone and yours that concerns our parivacy?
