How to Spy on Your Boyfriend

Women and men have snooped on each other since ancient times; it's the technology and access to temptation that has changed. With these tips you may prefer trust to the truth, but these tips will tell you how to spy on your boyfriend to see how your suspicions hold up.

Things You'll Need

• Keylogger software (optional)
• Webcam

Instructions

1. Think carefully before you spy on your boyfriend as there is no turning back to the level of trust remaining in your relationship. Additionally, should you get caught, it may well be the end of the relationship.

2. Write down your suspicions and any tangible reasons for them. Brainstorm names and places that are suspect including those of your boyfriends' pals that you do not trust. Set this information aside for a day and return to it later. This will give you a fresh perspective. Add missing information or delete what may be only unfounded suspicions. Proceed then with caution if you are certain this is what you wish to do.

3. Make a list of websites you wish to check out if you suspect online infidelity. Using the first document, think of potential nicknames, hobbies, interests and photo descriptions that your boyfriend would consider--despite disguising his identity. Write these terms down and search for them in a variety of combinations to see if he has a secret life online.

4. Evaluate the risks and benefits of installing a keylogger (keystroke recorder) on a computer that you and he share. It is a program that records keystrokes and the best ones allow you to view website visits, chat transcripts and e-mails. Look for keyloggers undetectable by most users or anti-virus software. If your boyfriend is computer savvy, you may wish to skip this option. A hardware keylogger may be more appealing. Check the laws before installing this software on a computer you do not own.

5. Spy on your boyfriend more easily by bugging his car with a digital recorder or setting up a webcam with audio. This is especially effective for men who use their cell phone while driving. The most difficult part will be placing the device and retrieving it. You will need to use your own judgment here based on what areas of the car he uses. Ensure that the device is silent, small, legal and has a decent battery life.

6. Investigate products for more serious spying (spy cams) which can be found online at increasingly reasonable prices. Webcams are built into a variety of seemingly innocuous items, from clocks to pens, that can be placed in the home without notice. This is a rather flagrant invasion of privacy so not for the faint-of-heart. This tactic may be best reserved for someone you plan to break up with anyway. Better yet, just end the relationship and maintain some virtue.

7. Involve a friend to help you spy on your boyfriend the old fashioned way and follow him in an unknown vehicle. A disguise is something to consider and bring binoculars or a zoom camera for best results. This technique works best when your boyfriend's guard is down, does not believe you are suspicious or when he thinks you are busy elsewhere.

Tips & Warnings

• Remember to not engage in any activity that produces guilt, as the cost to your well-being is not worth it.

• Avoid suspicion by not changing your behavior for better or worse as this will put him on alert.

• Do not spy on your boyfriend if it will do more harm than good. Keep any findings private and remain within the law.
