Til Password do Us Part

Til Password do Us Part

I read an interesting post on a wedding messageboard recently. A bride-to-be got upset when her fiance covered the keyboard as he typed in his email password. She was offended because she would never open his email even if she had the password while he thought that some things, like passwords, should be kept secret.

For our one year anniversary, I hired a photographer to take pictures of the place Mr. Bee and I first met and got engaged (since the first anniversary is paper). The photographer was supposed to drop off the photos at my apartment and we arranged the meeting through email.

Gmail (the email service I use) shows the first sentence of every email. This is the line that showed up beside the email I sent to the photographer:

Cool. You can meet me at my place (my husband gets home late).

Mr. Bee often uses my computer and I always have my email window minimized. What if Mr. Bee accidentally saw that? He might think that I were having an affair! Lol so for that day, I closed my email account because I wanted the gift to be a surprise.

Mr. Bee has passwords to all my accounts - email, blogs, etc. because I know he won’t go through them. While we don’t care about sharing our passwords, I know many couples that do and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that either.

Does your significant other know your passwords and vice versa? Do you think that passwords are one thing that should be kept private even in marriage?

haha I force Mr Ant to memorize all my passwords.. otherwise I’d forget them!

We don’t keep anything from each other. But that’s us. If another couple enjoys some level of privacy and they’re both comfortable with that, it’s fine too.

(I’m not married yet, but pretty much considered myself am :-D) My bf and I are comfortable with sharing our passwords with each other. And no, I don’t see it as a “you have to respect my privacy so you can’t have my password” thing. But I’ve never used his password because never needed to.. and now i don’t even remember what it is! But everybody is different and has his/her own opinions on this issue. I’m just glad me and bf see eye to eye on it. Imagine one person in the relationship doesn’t want to share and the other person is the opposite. That can create some disagreements!

We know each other’s passwords. Fi even told me his checking account pin number (not that I even remember) when we were traveling in Italy last year, just in case something happened. I was pretty shocked that he gave me that, actually, especially since we weren’t engaged yet.
Now, I do check his email from time to time, only because people like the officiant email him and he takes forever to check his email. I’ve scrolled through some of his really old ones, because he NEVER deletes them. There isn’t anything too terribly exciting, and then the exciting things he had already told me about, like his psycho ex-gf emailing him.

My Fiance and I both know each other’s passwords and bank account numbers etc. I use to check his email for him because he was so slow about reading it himself so whenever I was in there Id delate his spam junk mail for him. Well since I got busy I stopped fussing with his email and so whenever he checks it he has tons of spam and he is like why dont you you check it anymore so you can delete my spam for me!
Also ealry on our relationship I use to try to tease him saying I was marrying him for his money(he is a teacher so the bigger laugh is really on me) and say if he gave me his credit card Id be gone. Well he gave me one of his credit cards and I still have it today in my purse almost 3 years later and I never used it once. I guess Im not marrying him for the money afterall =P

i know all of J’s passwords, and he probably knows mine if he can remember them (he has a notoriously bad memory for things he doesnt need). we dont go through each other’s emails, but there was a time when he was secretive about it (when we started dating). i made such a big fuss about it for years….so now i think he just gave in. ahhaha. but i cant get into his work email which is his primary email account - but that’s a work issue. finally - though - he wouldnt give me his passwords or he would change them if he was trying to throw me a surprise party or something. which i completely understand.
