If you have a girlfriend or boyfriend who suspects you of cheating and DEMANDS to see your phone, politely decline and find a new girlfriend or boyfriend.

No kicking is necessary.

If you have a girlfriend or boyfriend who suspects you of cheating and DEMANDS to see your phone, politely decline and find a new girlfriend or boyfriend.

It really depends on whether or not she has a legitimate reason to suspect you. If so, then they need to find a new gf or bf.

It’s called MY phone for a reason.

No need for violence over it though.

if you can’t respect what is mine and are distrustful, you have your answer already. So get to stepping.

Well... that is one way to come clean about you cheating and ending a relationship.... a very stupid and violent way though

Never an excuse for such lousy behavior, she should consider herself lucky to find out sooner, rather than later and the police should charge him severely to deter such behavior in general.

Without trust no relationship can last long. Demanding someone's phone whether cheating or not is a huge red flag of future problems.

How about getting a job or going to class instead?

A lot of these domestics come out of Hokkaido, why?

The police should go through his phone contacts and asked them for a character reference. Sounds like a nasty piece of work.

All she had to do was to just find another boyfriend, why demand and investigate only to end up breaking your heart!??

If he was cheating he was an amateur, no burner phone.

Several times?

It's one kick, stunner.

The end.

The "boyfriend" is a damn amateur.

and grabbed around the neck, but was not seriously injured, 

Either she can take it like a real G or the "boyfriend" is very weak.

Either way, You go girl! Holla

I prefer to kick smartphones, then smartphone zombies who get in my way, in that order.

If convicted, a criminal record will follow this violent man-child forever. Not to mention his expulsion from university.

Girl needs to stay in her lane.

No. The scum needs to stop violently assaulting women.
