I Have noticed that people that share an email address seem to have a very trusting relationship ? Would you ? If not Why ? Any comments on this subject welcome.

Sharing emails equals alot of trust, me and my husband have our email together, then he has his email and i have my email... BUT... he knows all my passwords and I know all his.. so I can check his and he can check mine. Which is completely fine with me i have absolutely nothing to hide. Most of the time though, we are in the same room while one of us are checking our email

I would be willing to share an e-mail address with my significant other, but I'd still keep a personal e-mail address to myself. It's not a question of trust, but rather identity. I use the Internet for a great deal more than just e-mail (games, bills, banking, chatting, Yanswers, Myspace, etc.) All of these things require an e-mail address to register.
On the flip side, I know families that use the Internet for very little, and they do share an e-mail address. It works out fine for them.
If a guy I was dating questioned my desire to have my own personal e-mail address, I'd see it as a HUGE red flag. I believe in open, honest relationships built on trust (among other things). I don't have anything to hide, but I'm not going to tolerate a man who expects me to prove it to them.

I do not share my email address. This is not because of lack of trust with my wife, but because it is a small thing of privacy. All people have to have something that is theirs and theirs alone. Kind of like a girls diary, there may not be anything of significance in it but it is still private.
I have my email and the top drawer of my dresser that are absolutely my private space. My drawer is not locked, but she does not go into it out of respect. That is what trusting couples are about.

No you should not share an email address. I don't care how trusting your relationship is. Everyone is entitled to some privacy. if you were so trusting then you wouldn't even read it apparently there isn't much trust. Is there ?

My husband and I share an email address but we also have separate yahoo accounts. I have mine b/c I belong to several yahoo groups that produce high volume of emails I just didn't want to have to sort through our home emails to get to. But it's also for security reasons; we wanted email addresses that aren't attached to our home so much, more innocuous address to give out in public. You can't be too safe these days.

My finacee and I each have several solo emails, a few joint emails and all the passwords to each. If I want to check his email (which I don't do very often) I can and he can check mine. This way we each know if someone is trying to hide something. We were both burned badly in our last marriage and this is a way o keep the trust.

My husband and I share. I have nothing to hide. He isn't really into email that much so it is mostly me who uses it but he is welcome to use it anytime. If it is an email from one of my friends, he doesn't open it and vice versa. We respect each other's privacy. We don't even open each other's regular mail. If it has both our names on it, then it is fair game but otherwise we save the mail for the other person to open it. I have been married 10 years and that is the way it has always been.

I don't share an email addy with my fiance, only because I get so much email that it would drive him nuts. But we do have passwords to each other's emails, and have used each others' computers to get something from the other's email account that we need.

I would simply because I have nothing to hide. But my girlfriend might not be game for it simply because she thinks I don't trust her. I think that the couple has to come to a mutual agreement. You may think we'll if we share an email maybe there is nothing to hide. But if we don't then my mate could possibly be hiding something.

NO WAY would i do this! Do you read each others text messages? Emails? Post? NO!!! If you share an email address it's because one partner isnt as trusting.
