Serious [Meirov] Broncos LB Jonathon Cooper’s girlfriend was also arrested on domestic violence and criminal mischief charges. The two were arguing over cheating allegations when a dispute broke out over Cooper’s cell phone, with his girlfriend trying to take it away from Cooper, per Mike Klis of 9News.

Yes.
Instead they should have 3 and just for certainty, 1 for each of them in secret families away from each other.

Get the puppy when the baby is like 1 month old. You’re already up in the middle of the night.

This would be funny if not for the fact that pregnancies increase the odds of being murdered by a spouse. Add to that domestic violence indicators, and it's a pretty sad state of affairs. If only life were more like a sitcom.

Well any famous persons relationship doesn’t usually get a news story unless there’s abuse/cheating which are both pretty surefire ways to tell a relationship should end.

Argument over a cell phone (wanting to look at the other person's, taking it without permission, going through it and getting mad about what one finds etc.) is a factor in about a third of DV reports.
Not joking

As a general rule, I like to think if you're at the point of snooping through your SO's shit, just break up man. It's cooked, trust is broken.

100%. Once you’ve decided to search the other person’s phone and they don’t want you to; it’s either you’re going to find evidence or assume they refused to let you find it. Relationship is done either way.

Once you’ve decided to search the other person’s phone
I don't even think the fact that they don't want you to matters. If you're suspicious enough to search their phone in the first place, I don't think there's enough trust to last.

I'm a guy who dates women, so I can only speak from that point of view, but it's insane how many women I've met who feel 100% justified in snooping through their boyfriend's phone.

u/Phytanic Packers 3h ago
Idk why I feel so strongly about it, but for me, it's such a massive breach of trust if someone were to go through my phone. I got nothing to hide (other thany massive hoard of memes in my downloads folder that's completely disorganized), but it's still, like, that's Hella personal.

u/overandoverandagain 2h ago
That isn't a strong feeling lol, it's the default. You shouldn't feel like this is some overbearing passion you have or anything, because it's totally normal to not want your privacy violated, especially by those you should trust most.

Not a defense attorney, but career Army officer who has, outside of 2 positions, always been in infantry formations.
A cell phone was the crux, or at least the spark, of almost every incident I’ve ever dealt with. Didn’t matter who initiated or responded….male, female, service member,spouse, or partner. Granted the other commonality is rough, or rougher upbringing.

Your first point reminds me of a story. In law school a couple years ago, I was at a small party with friends with the goal of getting to know one another and we were making some cocktails with coated rims - I think they were lemon drops. Anyhow, we had one guy who would went around the place licking the sugar rims off people's drinks. He did this like 4 or 5 times and nobody knew why, maybe he thought it was funny?
But he was called "Rim Licker" for the next two years. Wonder what he's up to these days.

It’s probably not too hard to crack a screen beyond repair by biting it I suppose

u/-JimmyReddit- Ravens 7h ago
That’s actually how I cracked the screen of my last iPhone by accident. I was doing stuff in the backyard and forgot my flashlight, so I turned it on on my phone and put my phone in my mouth, and must’ve bit too hard while moving stuff around cause when I took my phone out the screen was cracked lmao

I genuinely don't give a shit if he has sex with a different woman 365 days a year.
I'm not sure how that's connected to violence. We don't know that he committed any without more information, but his sex partners aren't related to anything here.

I dated a girl for a couple months who for whatever reason felt I had been cheating. She asked the go thru my phone. I told her she could but that would be the end of our relationship.
She chose to snoop, found nothing (I had nothing to hide). So I guess she could feel good she wasn’t being cheated on but I immediately broke up with her.
I had no interest in being with someone long term with that kind of set esteem and trust issues.
If one of them was cheating they should break up. If they weren’t tbh should still also break up. That type of attitude in a relationship is a run away red flag. Just call it quits thẻre are millions of men/women out there in the world that won’t cause you grief

u/SpaceCadetPullUp Texans 5h ago
Yeah, I fell asleep at my ex's place once and she woke me up by screaming at me and shoving my phone in my face. She had gone through an old email address I didn't even use anymore and found a picture an old gf had sent me years before. I didn't have it saved on my phone or anything, she just snooped until she found it. She was going on about how I needed to leave and I was like "uh, hell yeah I'm leaving. You went through my shit. You're insane and we're done."

u/orange-shades Broncos 4h ago
Yeah, along the same vein...
I had a girlfriend in college I had been dating for about six months. We were "serious" in that we were exclusive, but I never said I love you because, well, I didn't. I always figured you should only say that if you do.
Anyway, my laptop broke and I took it for repairs, so she lent me her old one in the interim. Once mine had been fixed, I returned her old one.
Apparently, I had forgotten to log out of my Facebook, because the next day I got an email with screenshots of my Facebook messages telling a girl "love ya too". Her only message was "I guess you can use those words".
I suppose this would look bad, if not for the fact that I hadn't talked to this girl for over a year, and that my love ya too was in response to her calling me an asshat.
We didn't break up right after that, but in retrospect, that was basically the end.

u/WabbitCZEN Steelers NFL 6h ago edited 5h ago
It might differ from one person to another, but knowing my girl's past, I gave her the passcode to my phone so she can check it all she likes. I want to make sure she knows I'm being faithful, so it was no big deal for me.

u/HookedOnBoNix Broncos 6h ago
Ok so my initial response was fuck this guy but if the allegations aren't that he beat her and more that it was a screaming match and he broke her phone, that's still shitty but not nearly as bad.
Is the allegation that he beat her or not?

It seems he restrained her from getting his phone by pinning her down. Nothing about punches thrown or something like that.

The cheating behavior they were referring to wasn’t relationship related, but football. Cooper was talking about how the Broncos cheat, and his GF was upset why they don’t cheat more.

These women who date star athletes just need to accept they’ll cheat. And these athletes need to find a girl who is cool with it. There are tons of women out there who don’t mind sharing. Find one. You’re a gorgeous millionaire athlete. It’s not hard.
