When my 30yr-old wife of 1 year is suspicious, she responds provocatively, doing things that she thinks *I* am doing--short of having an affair. Later, as little clues appear, I snoop a bit and find blatant dishonesties (usually online profile flirtations, which she claims are purely innocent friendships) and feel crushed at being subjected to a double standard. Trying to start couples counseling, sharing enlightening books, etc--still in process.
She says that having access to my PC will give her peace of mind, as she fears not being able to see what's going on in my online life. I resist for 2 reasons:
1) No amount of viewing my computer account will erase the fear that tech-savvy me has created secret alternate email/chat identities.
2) There are journals, archives, & emails of private soul-searching that were never meant for her to read. I fear reading these (going back as far as 15 years before our relationship) out of context would make her even more insecure and reactionary.
