I dont give any password to anyone nor do I ask/need someone elses, its their business and I believe in privacy. Besides if someone wants one bad enough, there are ways to hack private stuff so they could find out if they REALLY wanted to.
We share a computer in our house, and we both leave our e-mail up and open, routinely, and we both know that each of us uses the same couple of usernames and same password for everything.
I have corresponded with a few couples online, and personally I don't care for that kind of thing. They think it's cute and silly when the other is using the other's email address or certain types of messaging ID.
Then when they start letting their kids use their messaging ID, I'm outta there.
I want to at least know if I'm talking to a man or a woman. And if I'm friends with a woman, I want to have at least a small sense that it's you - not your husband or boyfriend. I think it's only a truthful, reasonable demand. Being straightforward.
Otherwise, I just wouldn't have anything to do with them online anymore. You can call me or we can talk in person. I don't have time to figure out who's really talking to me.

I don't think it's "cute" , it's just the way our relationship works that's all. When we give people our email address they are fully aware that it is for both of us and we've never had any problems. There is no devious plan to confuse people. We have just simplified our lives by minimising accounts.
I just don't see the point of having separate email addresses , for us anyway. Our friends are all shared friends, and the few business emails he might get on our personal address I will forward to him immediately anyway if I am at home and him at work. In fact I can usually tell when an email is meant for him and unless I think it's urgent I hardly ever open them.
There is one easy way to make sure only the intended person responds and that is by putting "for..... Bob" in the subject matter.
We have 4 personal email addresses and all are shared , though he tends to use one more than the other because it is set up that way on our second laptop.
So far we've never had any confusion from anyone and we've had email for over 15 years....
To each their own, but being married or committed doesn't mean you stop being an individual. I would never give my email passwords to my SO because I am entitled to my privacy. So is everyone who writes to me. I'm not one of those people who shares my friends' and family's business with my SO.
while i don't feel the need to hide anything, myself and my friends tend to share online jokes, viral videos, they'll send me photos etc.
we don't really communicate on a serious level.
however, i gather the emails my g/f shares with her friends have slightly more "depth" to them, they'll often share secrets, talk about personal stuff which i have no want, nor need to know.
it's a perfectly understandable reason to deny access.

Cheat? So just because I want my privacy and haven't told him all my other accounts means I cheated on him?? Distrust no, I got none but I like privacy and it's not really their business.
