I replied to a message via messenger sent to me from a facebook contact. The individual then replied to me a short time later with a screen shot of a message my spouse sent them asking about a topic I had mentioned in my reply. How is my spouse able to read my messages to others via messenger on my iPhone?
iPhone 6, iOS 9.2.1
You must be sharing an Apple ID on iOS or one of you have setup Messages on a computer using the other persons Apple ID.
If your spouse knows your Apple ID password they could login to use messages on another device, see what devices are allowed to read imessages & remove any that you do not want to allow…
Check your Apple ID device list to see where you're signed in - Apple Support

P.S it's not clear to me if this is iMessage or Facebook messager - please clarify.
You should speak to your spouse about it. The only way that another can read your imessages is if they have your account setup on their device.
Examine both of your settings for messages app on all your devices. See if you have the same ID's or phone numbers registered (iMessage can forward to SMS).
I don't quite understand your response Drew, can you expand on it? I do not want to remove my phone or PC from my account.
Do you use the same Apple ID? Do you bout have the same iCloud account setup on your devices?
If you use the same Apple ID your spouse can see everything associated with that ID.
If that isn't the case then you need to say so we can consider other options.
Apple ID's are intended to be personal, so sharing them gets messy.
Right, I thought you were referring to Messages app - that uses the Apple ID.
Facebook uses your own Facebook login details. You may want to examine the Facebook privacy settings I think it is possible to post messages that may be public. I don't use Facebook so I may be wrong on that.
Asking your spouse is probably the easiest way to find out. If you don't want to ask change your Facebook password & see if your spouse complains. Check Facebook for a list of associated devices or connected apps. I suspect it may be within the Facebook security info…

In theory you should be able to block access to devices or apps you don't use but I can't say for sure as Facebook is not something I use.
No I do not beleive our Apple IDs are the same.
Facebook messenger I believe. The message came from a Facebook friend and I answered via messenger.
I asked her. She didn't give me a straight answer.
My spouse can read my messenger messages. How do I stop this?
