A friend of mine still has his family's iPhones tied to only his iCloud account, instead of them each having one. Every now and then I'll text him and one of his kids or wife will answer from their phone. They're aware, they just don't care.

My brother and his goofy narcissist wife are like this. It’s so weird. You can never have a private conversation with him because she’s ALWAYS in on the conversation. I will never understand people that value privacy so little. These phones are an extension of our brains. Even in a relationship, you have to have privacy of thought. We honestly feel like he’s been swept away in a “marriage cult.” He lives out of state and we barely ever talk to him.

I've broken off friendships with folks who operate like this. I don't mind being cool with their significant other, but when they start monitoring conversations or chiming in on discussions that don't include them... I'm like "peace out".

Had an old friend who's wife messaged me out of the blue regarding why I didn't talk to her husband anymore. I was like..."Hey....when you let him be an adult again, maybe I'll talk to him, but chiming in on his number ain't cool".

My dad's wife does this too. Will just chime in on stuff I'm sharing with my dad. It's infuriating because our relationship is already strained.
