More than 50% don't trust love partners

A British survey has revealed a nation of spies, rifling through their partners' text messages, tapping phone conversations and even tailing loved ones with webcams and satellite navigation systems, to check their significant others are faithful.

The most favoured way of keeping tabs on a partner is checking their text messages, with more than half (53 percent) of those questioned admitting sneaking a peek.

For young people aged 25 to 34 the number shoots up to a startling 77 percent.
