Re: Passwords n Trust
^Trust me bruv, there are some things girls are not that comfortable sharing with even their husbands. Like I would not want anyone to read my emails to my best friend and vice versa. Not even him.
Re: Passwords n Trust
I knew my hubbys password before we were married… man the pranks i used to play on him…one example that comes to mind - I sent emails to his male friends containing love poems and confessing his undying love for them… he was so not happy when he found out, obviously 
I see no harm in sharing email passwords with your spouse… sharing it with anyone else is just stoopid.
Re: Passwords n Trust
OMG, did his friends think he was queer or something? LOL… thats a really funny and bad prank lol
Re: Passwords n Trust
I have always wondered why some couples find the need to have access to each others email accounts. And why does it mean that you must be doing something wrong if you dont want to share your pw with them?. I think its absurd. I know there is nothing i have hiding from my family but even then i wouldnt like to share my pws with them. So ya its something i dont understand.

Aisha: Yeah his friends were kinda freaked out for a while… he had only been a muslim for 2 years by then as he was a recent convert… and it turned out the friends i emailed were his Uni friends who were really mazbi and religious… ..they thought he was a french fruit-loop!..so a little tactless on my part… but it was funny nonetheless!
Re: Passwords n Trust
I feel that your are not obligated to share your e-mail account password with your spouse. As a woman there might be some issues that you feel like discussing via email with a female friend as opposed to your husband. THAT DOES NOT MEAN YOU ARE CHEATING ON YOUR SPOUSE or that you have something horrible that you're hiding.
I'm sure that when husbands hang out with their guy friends.....they don't always want their wives tagging around. It's a similar issue. Yes, there is a great deal of intimacy in a marriage, but DISTANCE is also necessary for a marriage to thrive.
Any spouse that demands your password is crossing the line. To request a password is better. But to demand a password reeks of insecurity and control.
As for giving passwords to friends..........I would only do that in an emergency situation where I need urgent access to my email account and the computer has problems....and there is no other way to access them except through the help of a friend (and that would be a rare situation). Also, I would soon reset my password for security.
Just because one might be a trustworthy person doesn't mean your friend will trustworthy as well. Everyone is different. I vaguely remember a friend giving me her password to check email and I did it without further invading her privacy. But I have learned over the years, that friends can slip up and betray you even without thinking.
And if one really wants to share passwords, then do the smart thing and edit your mail folders. Delete what you feel is not mean for another person's eyes.
Re: Passwords n Trust
Maham, I have always wondered the same thing. Don't you trust your husband? I do not give my passwords to my friends because they do not need to read my private e-mail. It doesn't mean that there is anything there that is bad, it just isn't something that they need to have access to. If your husband or friend wants to do something dodgy, they will find a way to do it. Your access to that e-mail address is not going to stop them. They will just set up another that you do not have access to.
In terms of my work e-mail, it is against FERPA regulations for anyone else to have access to it, including my husband, although we are at the same institution.
Re: Passwords n Trust
So whoever is FOR sharing passwords, do yall share your facebook password?
I think facebook passwd would be more dnagerous than email passw to share :D
Re: Passwords n Trust

Totally agree.
