Would you mind if your partner could see everything on your phone?

Does panic set in if you forget your phone?

You could be nomophobic. That’s a relatively new phobia that defines the fear of being out of mobile phone contact. In a recent study of 1,000 people, two-thirds admitted to feeling extreme anxiety or overwhelming fear at the thought of leaving their phone behind. Some of the nomophobes sited work or safety as the reason, while others worried more about their partners. Almost half admitted they’d be upset if their significant other could see everything on there.

In the study, more women worried about losing their phone than men. That could be because more men admitted to having 2 mobile phones.
