some amount of space is definitley important for a healthy relationship..infact giving space is the true indicator the the next person trusts you enough not to barge into itsy bitsy details of every single thing.
But giving space too should have its upper limit. As in a certain amount of confiding in, sharing stuff and making the next feel part of the no-entry zone for the rest also shows how much trust your SO would have for you.
there you go … you said sometimes - nothing sharing pw is not a sometimes-giving-space - its a wanting permanent space
we are not talking about family, or friends or anyone you need space from except a husband/wife
if a husband tells his wife one evening i want to go have coffee read a book but not with you, alone, i need my space 2 hours only, how would that sound?
if a spouse wants to be alone for some time or even wants to read a book or have coffee, that doesn’t sound too bad now does it?
and by giving space doesn’t mean literally talking about it …‘i need my space, yea i need my space, parray hatto’
it’s kind of accepting that the next person might not always want to divulge all the inner feelings immediately, might want to declutter his/her mind and maybe plan something and also needs to meet his/her friends once in a while. And not too excessively.
There’s a difference between wanting space and wanting privacy. There’s nothing wrong with space in a relationship. I think its when people really value their privacy the becomes the issues. Thay being said…I don’t thing either spouce should go around snooping in the others email or phone.
firstly, here one has no authority to question my character, who is demense to question if i have double standards unless it directly or indirectly affects his/her life
secondly, i am not accountable to give any justification to clear any assumptions one makes about the basis of my arguments - sometimes i do clear any confusions mostly i dont depends on my mood honestly
so simply put, my wife has access to everything of mine, she can do/see whatever she wants, period
ifs and buts are just there to give variable scenarios.
Now a hypothetical situation:
you are overworked and thinking of some huge techincal project at work. Now your spouse obviously senses you are pre-occupied. Would you like it if she keeps pestering you ‘kya baat hai..ap pareshan hain..kya hua hai…mujhe to batayein’
Wouldn’t that irk you ? She being a housewife or in some completely other profession wouldn’t understand all the technicalities. So her continuous pestering would get on your nerves, wouldn’t it? That is what giving space means. Your SO can sense something is wrong but is considerate enough to let you deal with it on your own and give you the space and time to talk about it when you want to.
Now about sharing passwords. I think it would be immature to ask one’s SO to give me all their passwords, bank pins etc and snooping in their phones or accounts. This means there is lack of trust. When one is living together asking for such time becomes unimportant because eventually a person would know everything naturally without ASKING for it.
I do agree that it denotes a lack of trust. And similarly, sharing passwords does not build trust as such. Why bother? How immature is it to pry into every aspect?
