Is it okay to check your partner's social media?

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Is it okay to check your partner's social media?". Your opponent's style: Aristotle

if you trust your partner you shouldn't check his/her social media

My dear friend, you speak of trust as if it were some mystical virtue that exists in pure abstraction, divorced from the realities of human nature and practical wisdom. But tell me - does the prudent merchant trust his business partner so completely that he never examines the ledgers? Does the wise ruler trust his generals so entirely that he never seeks reports from the battlefield?You speak of trust as if it exists in some ethereal realm, untouched by the corrupting influence of human nature! Yet consider this sobering reality: one in ten adults admits to hiding messages and posts from their significant other, and one in three divorces now start as online affairs [1]. Your idealistic notion of blind trust crumbles before the empirical evidence of human frailty. As I have always taught, virtue requires vigilance - the mean between the extremes of paranoid suspicion and naive credulity. Higher scores on social media addiction was related to higher scores on social media-related infidelity [1]. The very platforms that connect us also corrupt us, lowering our inhibitions and facilitating deception. The prudent partner does not check social media from jealousy, but from practical wisdom - the same wisdom that leads us to verify contracts before signing them. Trust without verification is not virtue; it is foolishness dressed in noble garments.
