Do you answer your signif. other's cell?

Quick question which requires only a simple yes or no, but if you answer "yes", please elaborate if you wish. Thanks!

I only ask because my ex-husband's girlfriend always answers his cell phone when I call him and I'm thinking she does it because she's insecure and jealous. Honestly that's the only reason I can think of because half the time it's not like he's not in the room, she answers, I ask for him and she hands the phone to him meaning he's only a foot away. So I'm just curious if other women answer their significant other's cell phones. I don't know anyone who answers their signif. other's cell personally and I'm not saying that to be catty. Not even my parents who have been married for 30 years answer each other's cell phones, so please let me know. Just trying to get an honest concensus here.

when i was married, i did answer my then-husband's phone but only if he was either not home or temporarily unavailable (in the bathroom, or on the regular phone or something).

To me, your theory sounds like a good one.

I would not answer my husbands cell normally. I suspect your ex's GF may be trying to get under your skin. I'm sure your right about the jeolousy etc. I would ignore it.

Yes,I do answer my husbands cell,but never without him telling me too.Also I don't agree with the the insecure and jelous theory.My husbands ex-wife would dislike me no matter what the circumstances.She is just a bitter woman with nothing else to do than to pick at my every fault.To me that is insecurity and jelousy.

I only answer it if I'm asked to.... or if he's, say... in the shower, and I recognize the caller.
