Mine does the same thing. I find it amusing. I can tell him "you can just go in and get it" and I can even tell him "It's in the zipper pocket inside" and he'll STILL bring my purse to me.

I think he's afraid he'll get sucked into the bag, never to be seen again. LOL

Same here! The scariest thing I have in there is a few tampons. LOL

LOL...yup. And even those are in their own little case!

His backpack is a DISASTER though. OMG I had to get a flashdrive out of his bag and I thought I would find a dead body in it. Seriously.

I'm not that organized.

I change my bags out very frequently and I never carry a purse to work so I need everything in my purse to be portable. I just pluck everything out, put it in my work bag and then at the end of the day, toss everything back into my purse if I'm going out.

I just can't imagine that husband continuing to read those emails knowing full well it had nothing to do with what was purported to be the problem between that couple. If I were in wry's shoes, related or not, that would be the last I would speak to either. I have no need for people that I can't trust.
Couples who share email, facebook accts etc are not "insecure"

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.

This isn't about a couple that share an email address. It is about a couple that is insecure about their infidelity and to resolve that, they read each other personal emails. Even to the point when the reader knows the content has nothing to do with infidelity. That does not make for a "secure" relationship. That makes for a "trust but verify" relationship. No thanks.

I don't consider someone related to have special privileges. Perhaps that is where we differ most.

They may or may not be insecure. Personally, I find that type of thing annoying. It comes across as needy to me, like they can't even be separate enough to have their own account. To each their own, though. Maybe I just value my individuality more than others. I was my own person before I got married, and now I'm my own person who is a contributor to a pretty great partnership.

As for family relationships, blood is not always thicker than water. Sometimes those relationships do end up being disposable and it's better to recognize that than try to force something that shouldn't be forced.

Perhaps my perspective is colored by the way I use e-mail. There is absolutely no sensitive, personal information in my e-mail box. It's a repository for community, corporate, and scholastic newsletters, notifications, appointment reminders, etc.

Occasionally, we also receive e-mails from friends and acquaintances, but they're all aware that it is a family account, and it almost always revolves around, "Hey, you guys wanna come over and watch the Super Bowl? Bring guacamole!"

I don't believe our approach is an indication of insecurity, but a reflection of the open and casual environment of our home.
