agreed.

What's up wih FML and breaking up?!??!??!?

Maybe the asshole is looking to poison her cat?? Best to get out BEFORE your pet dies

Most people who have no problems killing innocent animals like that are psychopaths. So, get away from him, but do so VERY carefully, and make sure he has NO IDEA where you live after that.

You're saying that if your boyfriend killed a beloved pet, you wouldn't be concerned?

I agree, the only way she'd know what he'd been looking for is if the tabs were open (probably not) or she went right into the history. A tad bad on her part, but I suppose she now knows how the cat died!

When you press the search bar to enter a search, all the most recent searches pop up below to "help" you. At least, that was the case with Google search on my old android. And if she typed "how," it would automatically complete with the most recent searches performed on the app with the word how in it. Didn't sound like she was snooping at all, just happened to notice.

Not necessarily ... My phone.. When you hit lists below the last three searches... She may not have been looking ....

12, there's nothing wrong with looking at your boyfriend/girlfriend's search history. Curiosity isn't always a sin. And it's a darn good thing OP saw it! Phew!

29- there's never a good reason to go through anyone's personal data, relationship or not. It's easier to just trust them, and if you can't do that then you shouldn't be with them anyways. 17&19- You're right, I didn't consider that.

31, very true, but isn't it a good thing that she did see his search history? Otherwise, she might've lost her cat.

"The highway to Hell is paved with good intentions" as the saying goes. It's never okay to invade someone's privacy. Would you be okay if I decided I wanted to search your search history after I just met you to make sure you weren't a freak? It may be differing circumstances but the issue itself is the same. Trust is a fundamental part of a relationship. Without trust, no relationship can last.

Trust indeed IS a fundamental part of the relationship, yes, I agree wuth you. I didn't say it's always okay to check search history. I do *take back* my first comment about saying there's nothing wrong with checking the search history. But I was really just saying that it's a good thing she saw the search history, because then she wouldn't have known what her boyfriend was going to do..... My sincere apologies, guys and gals! I'm just that retarded and weird, lol, don't mind me.

Well if you do that, make sure he isn't alone with the cat...

Probably to look up things like "sudden cat death" or places that would cremate a cat and how much it may cost so.. "Cat cremation fees" or something.

She meant her phone. Her phone was dead.

Her cat didn't die, lol, it was her phone. That's why she had to use her boyfriend's phone.

Sorry, the FML isn't exactly worded well (at least not for me) and I clearly struggled to grasp the meaning and made myself look like a twit in the process.

Not really, #38. I receive FMLs via RSS feeds, and in the one I received the text is precisely "I borrowed his phone to Google something because my cat was dead". Emphasis on "cat". So she must have changed the FML afterwards. You and #16 aren't wrong at all.

While that's a hilarious idea, his phrasing is actually the "best" way to use a search engine. They tend to disregard words like "to" or "and" so "how kill cat" is the most efficient way to search for what he wanted. ****** up, but technically correct I guess.

Fair point. I considered putting the concession in my original post that I know search engines tend to omit prepositions and conjugated verbs, so including these words is excessive. Apparently, words that search engines exclude are sometimes called "function words".

Solve for x.

#23, more like solve for "ex"!!
