Should spouses know each other's e-mail passwords??

Zenthae

I know my spouses and he knew mine but he didnt really care and forgot. And hes always auto logged in anyway.

I dont know they should or shouldnt. We just ask eachother to check if someone emailed us from work or whatever when their on.

If you have nothing to hide, it doesnt even matter you wouldnt think twice about giving it.

If they want. I know my husband's and he knows mine. Nothing to hide....

There should be no reason to feel you have to keep it a secret.

jen

why not, you should have nothing to hide.:) I guess its just a sign of trust..But hopefully it does not get abused.

IF there is nothing to hide then it shouldnt be a problem!!

My husband and I know each others passwords. Those who have nothing to hide, hide nothing.

Devdude

I kinda think we should know each others. She uses mine anyway. But it would appear to me that if one is making an issue about it then perhaps there is something to hide.

prouddaddy

I think so. No secrets right?

orderless1

I have to agree with the rest. If my girl asked for my password and had a good reason to ask me for it, I would gladly share it.

If you have nothing to hide it should not be an issue. Although if someone wanted it just to keep tabs on you then its not so ok.

Great Question! I WAS JUST thinking about this very idea during the week! I noticed how my hubby is always clearing out the history and turning off the PC after. What is that all about? do I smell a little unfaithfulness? or am I being paranoid?
I think we should have no secrets but then again I could be wrong!

Yes but they should not use the passwords to go into each others emails all the time.

MissingInAction

Yes. that's fair

KoKo.Licious

I don't see why not. If you trust each other and you are honest with each other then what do you have to hide?

who has something to hide?
if nothing then why not? i have my husbands but i dont check it unless he hasnt in a while or is out of town.But not to snoop for other womans e-mails if that is what your implying...
i say if there is nothing to hide then why not?

We aren't married yet but we live together. Yes, we have each other's passwords, and yes, we are an open book to each other.its US against the world, as it should be!

Why not me

Every couple varies. If it's offered, that's fine but it shouldn't be expected.

By the same token, if you are in a committed relationship, you shouldn't have anything to hide. At the end of the day, this question comes back to trust and insecurity. That's what you need to focus on. The password issue (Insecurity) is just a symptom of a bigger disease (Mistrust).

I believe they should, as long as they respect each others privacy. Having an email password doesn't give the spouse permission to read the others emails without asking first. having the password comes in handy if you need to retrieve something for your spouse and they can't get to the account. It is a matter of trust.

Yes, because why should it be kept a secret if you have nothing to hide? I know my husband's password and he knows mine. Sometimes he asks me to get into his email account when he is away from the office wanting some information on something he is looking for. Plus, he knows mine because he is the one who set up my email account. (smile) That's when I didn't know anything about computers then. Now I know more, thanks to him!

guardianangel

Yes. If there is nothing to hide then it should be alright to know each others e-mail.

Haiti Cherie

to make that mandatory would be stupid, but whatever... if i were married and my husband wanted to exchange passwords, i guess it wouldn't be a big deal. i've got nothing to hide, and my man already knows about my obsession with online shopping... lol!

TLC25

No!

We know each others password tosign in to our individual laptops, but I trust my husband to not want to snoop in his files. Also he is a paralegal so lots of his files are for his eyes only..... simple and short, NO

Tgirl

Yes, they should. There shouldn't be any secrets between spouses unless one is planning a surprise party for the other.

Lydia

Of course. Married people share everything. If you are sharing your body with a person, you should be able to cough up your passwords!

Tiss

What are you hiding? My husband and I know each-other's passwords, but don't read the other's e-mail. Sometimes my husband will be away from his computer, and call and ask me to check something for him. That's about it.

ERICKSMAMA

I know his...and he used to know mine but I changed it due to him being over controlling.

arkiegirl

I think it's more like this..

When a couple is married, and they truly love and trust each other.. there is no reason to keep "secret" accounts/passwords from each other. It's like the old saying.. People who have nothing to hide, hide nothing.

Worried wife

I know my husbands because he has done stuff to me before on email ie: trying to hook up with other girls. Now I can check up on him eventhough im not guaranteed that he didnt create another one behind my back. Before he started trying to pick up other girls i never had a reason to doubt him so i never checked his email.

The most transparent and open relationship is married life.You share everything...then why not passwords!!

lorbell

If you have nothing to hide and as long as you don't abuse it.

Thomasina

It depends on the situation. I know my husbands and he knows mine, but that is after he cheated on me and I insisted. I think if you truly trust someone you just need to agree to exchange passwords or not to.
