Relationships require trust in order to be successful. Honesty is an important part of any relationship, especially if it's become serious. If you're reading this article, perhaps you feel your spouse or significant other is keeping things from you. Perhaps you're confused and frustrated and questioning the honesty in your relationship.

Do they keep their computer habits secret? Do they seem to erase their computer usage history after every visit or password-protect everything?

If you've tried to search through the files on the computer and found absolutely nothing even regular surfing behavior, it's likely that they are carefully covering their tracks. Is the screensaver password protected yet you two are the only ones who have access? Are they simply a private person or do they really have something to hide from you?

If you have a nagging doubt plaguing you, you might feel the need to crack their passwords and find out for yourself what's happening. This will either ease your worried mind or it will give you the evidence you need that will allow you to confront them about their secrets.

Software programs are available to help you. They can be inexpensive (downloads which is inexpensive and free to try) and will give you a detailed analysis of your mate's computer habits. You can obtain screenshots of their habits, log files of their time, information on the URLs visited, files downloaded or uploaded, passwords and pin numbers as well as copies of emails, chat log files and just about every other piece of information that you think they're trying to hide from you.

It's unfortunate that you're in this position where you feel like you have to spy on your mate but due to the importance of trust in a relationship, if you're feeling like there's a secret, you might need to uncover it so you can determine if trust is a factor in your relationship. Some might argue that it's not very moral of you to spy on your spouse but if you don't trust them, you may need to find out once and for all if your feelings are warranted. A look into their computer habits will tell you the truth. If you find nothing suspicious, you can simply de-install the program and forget everything, feeling reassured. Otherwise, if you find something that needs addressing you can do so with evidence.

Be aware that you may be shocked at what you find. A person's computer can be like their personal diary. Before you look, be aware that what you find may in fact change your relationship.
