I know my ex-boyfriend's e-mail password. I found it out by trying a few different words. I'm not suspicious of anything I just can't stop checking it! I want to stop! What can I do? Simply "just stopping" isn't working!I want him 2 change his password!

You might want to try asking him to change his password. Then, don't try to guess it anymore.

"Just stopping" WILL work. Every time you get the urge to check his e-mail, do something else, preferably away from the computer. Think of how you'd feel if someone were constantly hacking into your email.

I don't talk to him anymore, so I don't want to ask him to change it. Also, I've done the whole "will-power" thing to stop. On my "bad days" since the break up, I seem to break down and check for some reason. It's like there's this build up of pressure/emotions in me and checking his e-mail is like a release valve or something. I don't want to check it. I'm thinking of sending an e-mail to him, from a random made up address, telling him to change it. That might sound stupid, but ......... the only thing is that i don't want him to think it's me. Another option would be to write his e-mailing webmaster and tell them to write him to change it??? haha, what do you think.

Tell him.

do you still have any type of feelings for him? in my opinion you might not be completely over him, i mean, what will you be suspicius about, you guys are not dating anymore right? obviously you are still hung over him...you have to let it go sweetie, if you guys broke up find yurself someone new or atleast talk to him and try to get back to him. what if one day you see something on his email, you might get hurt and you dont want that. also, open an account, and send him an email without him knowing its you, and let him know someone has been into his account and suggest to him that he should change his password, that might work IF all yo want is to stop checj=king his email. GOOD LUCK

Thanks, your answer was a lot of help. I'm am still a little hung up on him. We dated for 2 years, then I broke up with him. We were apart for a year, then we began seeing each other again. This time, after 3 months, he broke up with me. It's very hard. I'm not going weird about it. I would like to move on. I don't want to check his e-mail. And, you're right, I am very afraid of finding out something I do not want to know. I think the satisfaction I get from it, is finding out that he wasn't cheating. Heck, he hardly checks his e-mail. I think, because he's so far away, that when I check it, I feel closer to him for a split second. I don't know. Something will have to be done.

It will be a dead end road in the end - if or when he finds out - So back away from the computer when the feelings come over you to check his private mail - And hope he never finds out - If you hope for at least trying to work your relationship out with him

i know my ex-boyfriends email password too...at first i couldn't help checking it...but i stopped. i found out things about him i did NOT want to know. first of all, he was crazy depressed. secondly, he signed up for escort services, (ew). but when we got in touch again he actually told me all of this so i would have rather not had the unpleasant preview. i actually have the urge to check it right now but i'm not going too. instead i'm going to go watch comedy central. voila! see how that works? like a charm.

what's wrong with telling him. Saying you were insecure and guessed it and guessed right. You hate that you do it and it causes you a lot of internal grief and wished you never had. Tell him you feel extremely foolish and did it at a very weak point. If he is a person with any sense of empathy, he would forgive you and change it. He would be understandably mad at first, but in the end would more than likely respect your honesty in admitting your own fault.
-
stop now.

keep checking. maybe it will help you get over him, or at least you will know him better. about 65% of women check their boyfriend's emails. they ought to be sharing their innermost thoughts anyway. maybe you could tell him, or if you don't, what is the harm at this point.
-
That's disgusting, pathetic behavior and possibly illegal. You may want to save what's left of your dignity and quit. Maybe you can tell him what you've been doing and advise him to change his password.
-
I did this and now I feel sick and ashamed. I told him and promised I would never do it again and asked him to change his password.

You've got to get a grip on yourself. What you're doing is wrong. Imagine your ex spying on your e-mail!
