I read about that whole Wizard Liz cheating scandal, and now I’m worried my boyfriend might be doing the same thing on Snapchat. He’s been acting weird, and I feel like he’s hiding something. How can I check his Snapchat without looking too suspicious? I’m in the same boat as Wizard Liz, and I need to know what’s going on.
Hi TaylorFlower,
It sounds like you’re going through a really stressful and worrying time. It’s understandable that hearing about situations like the Wizard Liz scandal can heighten concerns, especially when you’re noticing changes in your boyfriend’s behavior and feeling like something isn’t right.
Regarding your question about checking his Snapchat without looking too suspicious, it’s a path many consider when they feel anxious and are searching for answers. However, it’s really important to think through the potential consequences of this approach:
- Privacy and Trust: Accessing someone’s personal accounts, phone, or private messages without their knowledge is a significant breach of privacy. If discovered, it could seriously damage the trust in your relationship, potentially more than any suspicions you currently have, regardless of what you might find (or not find).
- Third-Party Apps/Services: You might come across suggestions for third-party apps or services that claim to monitor Snapchat activity. Please be extremely cautious with these. They often pose security risks to your own data, may not function as advertised, can be quite costly, and using them can have serious privacy and ethical implications, not to mention being a major breach of trust.
While the urge to find definitive answers can be strong, here are a couple of things you might consider:
- Direct Communication: This is often the most challenging step, but it can also be the most constructive. Consider talking to your boyfriend directly about how you’re feeling. You could mention the changes you’ve noticed in his behavior and explain that it’s making you worried. This opens up a dialogue and gives him a chance to share his perspective or explain what might be going on.
- Focus on Observed Behaviors: Instead of focusing solely on Snapchat, you could address the specific behaviors that are causing you concern. For example, if he’s become more distant or secretive, you could talk about how those changes are affecting you and your relationship. Sometimes, changes in behavior can be due to various personal reasons or stressors that may not be related to infidelity.
- Trust as a Foundation: Feeling the need to check a partner’s private communications often indicates that trust may be strained in the relationship. Working on rebuilding or understanding the state of trust is crucial for the health of any relationship.
It’s a really tough situation to be in, and there are no easy answers. Prioritizing open communication and addressing the underlying feelings of insecurity or changes in the relationship dynamic might be a more sustainable way to find clarity and peace of mind.
I hope you can find a way to navigate this that feels right and healthy for you.
Hey Taylor, I totally get why you’re feeling anxious. Honestly, snooping through his Snapchat could damage the trust between you two—even if you’re worried. The best move is to have an open, honest conversation about how you’re feeling. If he cares, he’ll want to reassure you. If things still feel off, trust your gut and look after yourself first!

Stop overcomplicating it—if you strongly suspect something is off, transparency is key. Ask direct questions and observe his reactions. If you still suspect shady activity, use a monitoring tool like Moniterro.com to quietly track Snapchat actions without confrontation.
Hey TaylorFlower,
Oh, wow, I totally get that awful, sinking feeling in your stomach. When you read about big public things like that Wizard Liz scandal, it’s so easy for your mind to just latch onto it and start spinning, especially if your gut’s already telling you something feels off with your boyfriend. And him acting weird? Yeah, that just fuels the fire, doesn’t it?
I’ve so been there. I remember with my ex, there was a point where he became super cagey with his phone, always angling it away from me, taking it to the bathroom, all those classic signs. It drove me absolutely bonkers. My mind went to all sorts of places, and honestly, the not knowing was sometimes the worst part. I felt like I needed to know, just to stop the constant guessing game in my own head.
Back then, my first instinct, just like yours, was to try and find some kind of proof. I remember thinking, “If I could just see his messages, I’d know for sure and then I can either relax or deal with it.” It’s such a tempting thought when you’re feeling that desperate and insecure.
But here’s something I learned from my own messy experience: going down the road of trying to check someone’s phone secretly… it can be a really slippery slope. For me, even when I did manage to sneak a peek (and felt instantly guilty and even more anxious, by the way), it didn’t actually bring me the peace I was craving. If I found nothing, I’d just think, “Oh, he must be deleting things or using something else.” And if I had found something, well, the way I found out would have added another layer of yuckiness to an already horrible situation. Plus, it kind of eroded my own self-respect, feeling like I had to snoop.
What I eventually realized was that the urge to check his Snapchat, or anything else, was really a symptom of a much bigger problem: the trust was already broken, or at least seriously cracked. If you’re at the point where you feel you need to secretly check his phone, it means the communication and trust in the relationship are already in a really tough spot, you know?
That “weird” behavior you’re seeing and the feeling that he’s hiding something – those are really significant on their own. Sometimes, focusing on how to catch them can distract from the fact that your intuition is already screaming at you that something isn’t right in the relationship dynamic itself.
Have you thought about trying to talk to him about how you’re feeling? Not necessarily an accusation like, “Are you cheating on Snapchat?!” because that can make someone shut down immediately. But maybe something more like, “Hey, I’ve been feeling a bit disconnected from you lately, and I’ve noticed you seem a bit more [private/secretive/distant] with your phone and in general. It’s making me feel [worried/insecure/anxious], and I wanted to talk about it.”
His reaction to a genuine, vulnerable conversation like that can tell you a huge amount. If he gets super defensive, turns it around on you, or completely dismisses your feelings, that’s a massive red flag in itself, regardless of what’s happening on Snapchat.
It’s such a horrible position to be in, Taylor, and I really feel for you. That knot of anxiety is just the worst. Whatever you decide, try to prioritize your own peace of mind through all this. You deserve to feel secure and trusted in your relationship. Sending you a big virtual hug.
