Spy software

[bukowski_merit]

my friend did this - and actually prevented his 5+ years ltr from cheating on him (she was openly debating with a guy on myspace if she should cheat with him - she really wanted to but kept stalling).

my friend thought something was up and installed the logger - found all these emails to a guy. got her myspace info - logged into her account and read his emails to her. the guy was doing some heavy convincing and my friends girl was leaning more and more towards trying it.

he confronted her about it - told her he came home, got on the computer and her myspace email was open and something caught his eye and he read it. basically telling her he read everything after that and knew everything.

she cried and tried to blame it on him for 'invading her privacy' - he had to come live with me for 3 days... but she took him back... she also cut her contact with the other guy and admitted she was wrong.

so it worked... but, be warned... my friend to this day - reads everything she does online just waiting for her to slip up again. i don't believe that's anyway to live your life - and he does seem obsessed with it. i'd even bet if they break up - he does it to the next one...

So, have you decided to spy on her or not?

I would like to install a spy software on my computer to find out what does my girlfriend do while I'm at work.

Bad, bad boyfriend! Bad!
You're degrading yourself just to satisfy your pride? Why don't you be upfront about it with her if you're thinking about spying on her like that?

What would a woman's girlfriends advise her if she asked them:

"Should I put a keystroke logger or some other 'spy' software on my own personal computer in my own home? I worried Bubba might be running around. He uses my computer sometimes."


I know the answer. But, does it matter, or even relate here?

Is it even "spying"? It's the computer that the owner controls. If another "user" (the GF) uses it to cheat on the owner, is it "wrong" to seek to know that?

I don't know. But I DO know that it isn't wrong to use your own stuff as you wish. And that includes putting whatever software he WANTS on his OWN computer. If she's stupid enough to use HIS computer to cheat, she DESERVES to get caught.
