Women are more likely than men to snoop on their partner's emails, text messages and web browsing history.

According to research conducted by the London School of Economics (LSE) and the Nottingham Trent University, 14 percent of wives read their partners emails, while 13 percent snoop at their text messages and 10 percent admitted to looking at their web browsing history.

However, only eight percent of men said they would read their wives emails while just seven percent claimed they would check their text messages and browsing history.

"The findings show that wives were indeed more likely to monitor their husbands' behaviour. This contrasts with general research that suggests women are less technologically skilled than men," LSE's Ellen Helsper and Monica Whitty from the Nottingham Trent University told the Sunday Times.

"It seems that they are able to overcome these barriers when they feel that their relationship is at stake."

Yes but it does depend if the man makes her feel insecure.

Most of my emails are not worth worrying about from a GF point of view, and those that could be questionable are also pretty safe. I lead my life as an open book now, it is impossible to maintain a lie with my memory so never bother in the first place. Though I must remember to not say her bum looks big.

But surely you can't make someone feel insecure; that's just someone's response to a set of circumstances.

Stupid question, have you ever seen Memento?

No. But many movie depictions of amnesia is wide of the mark. Even 50 First dates is not completely accurate. Only the very extreme cases are like that. I can be as extreme as Ten second Tom. Though like Lucy have barely any memory of the previous day. It is just that in my case the majority is wiped during that night, though not all. I can remember bizarre things, such as discussing with an ex a friend of her not knowing whether she had anal sex. I said "I am an amnesiac and I know that I have not". She told her friend and was very embarrassed, though expected me to forget it. That bit I remember though cannot remember her name.

The thing about amnesia is that it can be a deal breaker for women, though they were not worth worrying anyway. For those that I have told, it was never an issue. It was never the reason for the break up.

Yes but certain behaviour could be construed as suspicious. If they are overly paranoid then that is their problem not yours.
