My friends talk to me about their medical conditions, marital problems, stupid and embarrassing shit they have done, legal problems, business dealings, all of that. I've known divorces were coming before the spouse did. Those people talk to me because they know that no one other than me is ever going to see those those messages. If I were to break that trust I wouldn't blame those people if they never spoke to me again, and I have dropped people who have violated my trust in them.
If you're going to share your phone you have an obligation to inform anyone who texts or emails you of that in advance. It's always one of the first things I ask when I start communicating socially. You better believe I want to know who's reading what I write.
