But would you be embarrassed about certain emails in your in/out box?

None of my significant others have had my email password nor does the current one. I'm not shy about opening up my email in front of him or leaving it open and leaving for the day... I have nothing to hide. I do save everything so I probably would be embarrassed by some of the older (single life or other lovers) emails. If it's not business I usually send a text and I leave my phones out as well... theres no password protection and I wouldn't care if my s/o looked at my text messages either.

I'm open with nothing hidden

Unbelievable.
I'm with you. Friends' secrets and conversations should be held in confidence. Just because one is married doesn't mean that the spouse has to be in the know on every aspect and detail of her/his partner's friendships and friends' lives.

Frankly, I could never be friends with someone who would blab everything I told her to her husband. And I have to wonder about a man who would want to know all of other women's personal business! If my mother even TRIED to tell my father about that sort of stuff, he'd have stopped her cold and told her he really didn't care.

Could you imagine being at a party with this couple in attendance and having the man ask you what you're going to do about your ovarian cyst?! Or if your boyfriend's erectile dysfunction had improved? If he gets his jollies from this sort of thing, he probably shares it all with his friends, too.

They say that many people who are having an affair start it all through flirty emails.

Would you be embarrassed if your spouse read every email you wrote or recieved in the last 12 months? What would they think of your emails?

I could never break into any of my boyfriend's email accounts but he sure can hack into mine without any problems. He even went into one of mine, changed the password then I couldn't get in to even verify my own information or even change my own account.

I had one email address where he read a couple of emails and saw a couple of pics he wasn't suppose to. Then texted messaged me the pictures so I could know he broke into my email. It was very very embarrassing. He then changed the email password to a very embarrasing one and since this day I left the account under the same password... I can't say it on here because it'll most likely be deleted

I don't tell my hubby everything, but my friends know that if he askes me a direct question I won't lie to him. They also know that I don't keep secrets from him, but I do know what should or shouldn't be told to him. Only once has he asked me a question that I felt I shouldn't answer, and all I said was that I didn't think that soandso wanted me to share that information, and he said ok and that was it.

Yes my boyfriend of five years knows all of my passcodes and I really don't care. He doesn't even read any of them. He also has password to my facebook account also. And i don't care. I have nothing to hide.

No I do not find others on the internet. I love my boyfriend and faithful.

I've said this before. I have no worries, nothing to hide.

Now, as far as my banking info, she gets that so that she can handle my business affairs instead of me having to do it--she gets true control of my income. I'm lucky to get a $20 allowance.

Hahaha that's me & my hubby. I always say, he makes the money & I spend it. He "asks" me before he uses the debit card, but it's not for permission, just to make sure there is enough money in the account. He likes it that way. He hates dealing with money.

I think I know her passwords, at least to one of her two email accounts. I don't check them.

She doesn't need a password for my email. Mine isn't web-based, so it's filtered and sent to my computer. I can also check the filtered out emails without entering a password -- as long as I use my computer. And it's always on and available to her if I'm not using it.

I can't think of anything I've written or received that I'd be embarrassed about her reading. Maybe....
