Today, I woke up to a brand new password on my phone that only my wife knows. Apparently, she thinks I've been looking at my phone more than I've been talking to her lately. FML

Whatever happened to couples who talk and get through difficult times together? Everyone is so sue and "dump him/her" happy. It's sad.

this post kinda proves you wrong

Don't talk to her until she tells you the password. She might be mad at you, but a childish punishment deserves a childish response. And a working person needs their phone.

I am saying your life sucks. Not because your wife doesn't have a point, but because this is how you handle a child, not a spouse. Instead of respecting his property as an adult, she has chosen to manipulate the situation

How is wanting to communicate with your SO childish? It seems more childish to me to avoid communicating with your SO on so basic a level, especially with something as blatantly disrespectful as playing on your phone.

You may need to re-read the post you're replying to.

Give her the silent treatment until she unlocks your phone. When she caves in, tell her to be more interesting and compete for your attention, instead of just feeling entitled to it.

You kind of become entitled to someone's attention when you marry them...

OR. Pay her a bit of attention. It's clearly what she wants, and the sooner she gets what she wants the sooner OP's getting what he wants. You ever hear the saying "you catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar"? it's remarkable how many times in life it's applicable. He could spend the day wrecking his marriage further by refusing to communicate even when the apparent initial reason for lack of communication is absent, or he could spend a little while actually communicating, and voila, problems might actually get solved in a timely fashion. Usually when you marry someone, it's because you want to spend more time (eg. your entire life) with them, so when you spend more time with other pursuits, and avoiding spending time with them, that's something you need to talk out, not retaliate to.

#47 - While that is an incredibly articulate and well-thought-out statement with which one would be silly not to agree, I do believe that Perdix was being 100% sarcastic, as usual. Reminds me of the Malicious Advice Mallard.

Restore the phone, resync the phone to get ur contacts back and set up your own password so she can't mess with your phone again. Problem solved. She has no business getting on your phone and changing your settings without your permission, regardless how immature she is feeling that day when she wants to prank you instead of communicate.

Or maybe he can sit down with her, and talk with her and she will ******* give him the number!!!

It's hardly immature to want to spend time with your SO, what IS immature is frequently ignoring or avoiding a person or social situation.

You women are pathetic. If roles were reversed, you would be singing a different tune. If my SO pulled thay bs, it would make me less inclined to talk to them. If you just talk to me like an adult, I'd listen. **** with my shit, you'll get a piece of my mind.

How mature is it to tamper with someone's property? Someone has some growing up to do and I don't think its OP.

Locking someone out of their own phone is way more immature.

Have you? if you haven't then you should have no problem getting that new password

Tell her to give you the password and then you'll have sex with her.

Marriage doesn't have to focus solely around sex... Communication is just as important.

" Phone" is a bad name for it. It used to be a phone, now it's something else. Its primary use has been changed. A few short years ago, if someone had said, " I've been looking at my phone all day," you would've felt sad for them.

I know. Let's come up with one. Hm... how about... "Smartphone". That has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?

You could ask one of the Apple geniuses or one of the Android nerds on XDA to help you regain your password. But they'll probably too jealous about you having a wife to do anything useful.
