My boyfriend and I both agree that if you are in a serious relationship and/or married to someone that it's completely ok to have each other's passwords online whether it's email, myspace, etc. What is everyone else's opinion of this?

It's cool. I mean...I got nothing to hide right?
-
If there's nothing to hide, it should be fine. it's all a measure of trust
-
It's up to you. My husband will not look through my wallet (nor I his) and we don't share our passwords. Well, actually, I DO know his, but he doesn't know I know... ;D

If you agree on it and you have nothing to hide then thats cool. i think when we know all that stuff it makes us more paranoid and you check in there every day and you start to question everything that you see. If your married though i think it is a given to know those things, if you are in a relationship serious or not, there are some things you dont need to have just yet. what if you break up.

I say personal preference. Whatever makes two people feel the most secure in a relationship... as long as you communicate what your feelings are, I think that this is where the intimacy comes from.

Your hubbywife ought to be your best friend, your lover, your confidant! You should be able to trust them with your life. So, what's a meaningless password to access emails compared to that? Not a lot, I hope you'll agree!
-
i don't want my husband's passwords and he hasn't asked for mine. it's just a matter of trust.
-
Thank you everyone for your answers!!
-
If you both agree to it, and, you both feel more comfortable that way, then, I don't see a problem. It might even be a good thing.

I have my husbands and a few of my best-friends. It is ok if you have full trust. I never asked, things just happend where it was convienet for me to check somethings. So they just gave them to me.

I am in a such a serious relationship with my husband, and still we have our own space. I wouldn't ever think of sticking my nose into his email without his request. I just don't feel comfortable about sneaking, checking on someone's pockets, opening envelopes, addressed to somebody else. I'd never read my daughter's diary (as my mom did). Privacy is privacy, it's a very important thing, imho.

It depends on the couple. That is an agreement that each couple should decide for themselves.
-
My partner and i both know eachothers passwords on everything we go on but never feel the need to use them. if you trust eachother and you've nothing to hide i can't imagine it being a problem.
-
I know all his passwords and account numbers. He has been told mine, but could not remember one to save his life. These are personal things, each couple has to do what they feel comfortable with.
-
I have nothing to hide so she knows all of mine (she can't remember) and I have and remember all of hers. I am just good with passwords and numbers. We trust each other of course and we have nothing to hide, but we only have this info because one had to do something when the other didn't have internet access. I just didn't say "here are my passwords babe"
-
my s/o and i have eachothers passwords, not because we dont trust eachother its just easier and your saying i love you and i have nothing to hide from you.

This is an absolute no! No! Getting married or going steady does not mean giving up all privacy or becoming "one person" or any other childish romantic dream. You are still individuals and have a responsibility to yourself that overrides the creation of a "couple." Nothing is more boring than constantly being in each other's business. And,if you try to merge with each other over time you will stop growing and your personality and character will just plain dry out. Like tumbleweed.

I don't think so, but thats just me, my other half doesn't have any of my PIN's or passwords except for the one that unlocks my computer because we both use it even though it belongs to me.
-
If there is trust in a relationship, why do you feel you need each other's passwords and spy on each other? That only causes more deception and then something that becomes very possessive and unhealthy. If the both of you can use the computer in a mature fashion without going beyond relationship rules and borders, you'll be okay not knowing EVERYTHING about each other's time spent doing something on the computer. For instance... I keep a personal journal with my own feelings of expression to work MYSELF out that I don't want to share until I'm ready... I wouldn't want my boyfriend to read that in the mean time. Together or not, everyone deserves their own privacy and hobbies.

Absolutely, if your happy with that and trust one another what's there to hide. Some people may disagree but remember what works for one couple doesn't for another we are all different..so you do what makes you happy...
-
We have different accounts and passwords, but we have them posted next to the computer, so we know what each others are. We don't have anything to hide so we don't care for the other to know. We have never checked each others out though. We are very honest and don't care if one or another sees what we are doing. He knows I am on here talking to ppl, but he doesn't snoop to see what is going on, besides half the time I tell him anyways what I have answered or asked. We trust each other completely so why not?

My boyfriend reads my email and is in my MySpace all the time. I don't care. and from one experience, where one of our friend's just died in a plane crash a few months ago... you never know.
