    So i am full of mixed emotions after my brother unlocked my phone while i was at a tennis match and i was on EC.

    1. I am slightly worried as he found me on EC.

    2. Annoyed that he was snooping on my phone.

    3. I had no clue how he knew my password (it has been changed)

    Now at first i was a bit worried that he would tell the entire family about it, but i think i managed to brush it off pretty well when he confronted me about it. Also quite frankly he is a little bit thick so probably hasn't thought much of it. But i do feel a bit wrong for deceiving him and at the same time i don't feel ready to come out to him. Any advice???

    (PS i wasn't really sure where to put this i was torn over this forum and Coming out advice)

    I would just forget about it, if he's as thick as you're suggesting then he's probably none the wiser.

    Come out when you're ready.

    If you are not ready to come out yet, then what you did was the right thing. You shouldn't have to come out before you are ready because somebody is going through your phone. I would be sure to make sure that you have a secure password on your phone in the future. Sometimes it's amazing how easily family can figure out your passwords.

    Just a quick note to say that if you're worried that your brother will be able to find your account again- feel free to start a thread in Ask The Staff and we'll see what we can do to help out!

    So you have covered it up. And changed password. I'm on this new kick off using parses of his in feeling at the time. Like Hoping4peacE (not one I've used) or Runn!ng4th3h!lls (again never used lol) it just makes it easy to remember and hard to guess. If I only have numbers I still do this just using numbers corresponding with word.
