'ONE FIFTH OF SPOUSES' NET SNOOP
A fifth of married internet users regularly snoop on their spouses' emails and text messages, Oxford University researchers say.
The survey found general agreement between couples about the acceptability of certain online behaviours.
But 46% of the 2,401 married people asked by the Oxford Internet Institute disagreed on whether it was acceptable for partner to visit adult sites.
Men were more likely to accept such behaviour in their partner than women.
Meanwhile, 13% of respondents admitted to checking up on their partner's browser history.
Unsurprisingly, 97% would be unhappy about their partner falling in love with someone else via the internet.
