I'm just asking out of curiosity! I'm sure some will say that each partner should respect the other & give them their privacy. Others will say if a person's got nothing to hide, it shouldn't matter & if anyone can look through your stuff, well surely your spouse/SO should be able to.
I tend to believe in the latter myself. What does everyone think?
I don't mind if my wife looks through my stuff, and she doesn't mind if I look through her stuff. Neither one of us do it, but its understood that no problems will arise if it happens because we have nothing to hid.

My wife opens all the mail bc I think it is an annoying chore.
My wife sometimes texts herself pics of my son that are on my phone. I use hers to play games I don't want to install on my phone.
My wife does my business correspondence and uses my email account to get the information. I use her email to get to Netflix info.
My wife is my facebook friend. There is no other info on my page that any friend cannot see. Vice versa.
My wife replaces expired credit cards and health insurance cards in my wallet. I pick up and get her wallet and purse together when the boy or puppy mess them all up.

Free access to everything bc we are a team and nothing nefarious is going on.

For me, having free access or no access is not going to be the indicator if something nefarious is going on.

Clearly some of you just have no idea how some people in solid, strong marriages do things.

If the relationships you have with those you truly love are so disposable I feel really sorry for you.

I had no idea you were so self-righteous.

Some relationships are disposable by necessity. I wish I lived in your world where everything was so rosey.

Wry never said that she would stop talking to her sister forever. She isn't ready to talk to her right now. And even if she is never ready, that's between Wry and her sister.


As for your erroneous second sentence.... I guess assumptions are ok when it's you doing the assuming?

Way to miss the point.

Neither my husband nor myself care about any of these things. Neither of us is particularly private. Neither of is really all that interested in going through the others' stuff, for the most part, (I usually end up opening all mail, by default, or it doesn't get opened in a timely manner), but if we did for some reason, it wouldn't be a big issue. Neither of us really has anything that we would care if the other knew about.

I don't know...I'm neither especially nosy, nor especially private, and my husband is the same.

Nope he doesn't care. In fact my husband gave me all his passwords just cause. No BS.

I stand by my statement, which was in response to jw2 saying " If I were in wry's shoes, related or not, that would be the last I would speak to either".

I DO feel really sorry for someone like her would could be so shallow and short-sighted as to completely write off a beloved family member, someone they truly love and enjoy being with, simply because of some hurt feelings and mistakes made on all sides.

The concept of forgiveness and agape love is apparently lost on some folks

It's slightly hypocritical to call someone "shallow and short-sighted" and then immediately chastise them for not grasping the idea of agape
