Is it fair to keep your password a secret from your spouse?

Answer 1

yes. You are a grown person. You don't have to tell him everything. What if you get a divorce. He has access to everything.

Answer 2

Every body need private space, where he can be alone for a while. Your e-mail maybe such a space. But a protection of the privacy comes with the price. The price are being suspicions of the spouse. I guess that the spouse acts because of her own fears but you must answer yourself if the peace in the family is more important then your privacy.

Answer 3

In some cases it could be acceptable. For example, my sister already tries to get into her boyfriends myspace account because she knows that he's been talking to an ex, but he keeps changng it. In some cases it could be really important to share passwords with your spouse, but probably nothing like that, only for something major. Hope that helps a little.

Answer 4

those who claim respect for privacy are always the ones who leave just a little crack open for a little fun on the side, or have even a small detail that always leads to putting ones self in situations where options are always just that an option. It lets emotional cheating happen, it lets those secret emails turn into affairs of cheating either physical, or emotional sometimes both.

I gurantess that unless it is secret service, cia business in which that email is needed to be as a sercurity clearance, there's something being hidden.

Answer 5

It is indeed fair with one condition. The condition is that if it bothers or hurts the spouse then yes it's unfair. Some people feel that in marriages you should share everything and others do not. Personally, I don't feel that you have to; I feel that being married is about sharing and trust. So my answer is: if it is hurting or bugging your spouse, talk about it, because in a way it is unfair.

Answer 6

My wife gave me hers a long time ago and recently was acting really shady when we returned from a trip. As it turns out she was e-mailing with a guy that she met on the trip. The e-mails were very interesting to read....good thing that I knew the pass word. She was all but throwing herself at him. So, unless there is something to hide, I am all for sharing the password.

Answer 7

I don't know if it is. My husband and I know eachother's, it's more convenient. I know what I would think of a person who kept his password secret...I think I'd be suspicious! I think it's also kinda weird, what does anyone have to hide? or think they need that kind of privacy for? It doesn't much imply trust, of course, neither does looking when you're not asked to...Good question.

Answer 8

I think it depends on what the passwords for..I personally would keep it from my spouse, I like to have privacy. Besides, if they truely love you, then they'll trust you enough to not do anything that's harmful to your relationship. You're required to some privacy!!

Answer 9

Talk to your spouse...if it makes them feel insecure you really shouldn't ...because after all thats kind of giving them a reason to
mistrust... if they are cool with it ..keep it secret...maybe they are hiding things from u too.

Answer 10

i have the same password for everything if my spouse knows one she knows them all, i fill if i can trust her with my kids, money and cooking me a special dinner without putting rat poisoning in it. them i can trust her with my email,cellphone are what ever else password. i hear people talking about privacy, yeah from the guy in the cubicle next to you, @ the bank ATM even the check out line in grocery store. why @ home if you are doing it there then there's a problem. just my opinion.

Answer 11

I don't see the big deal. I don't see why people would think that you're hiding something by not sharing said password with your spouse.

My hubby doesn't know my password and he hasn't asked to have it either.
