netrie Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 Just curious if you did and if so, did you find anything? How did you react? Netalia
YellowLioness Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 This topic has been the subject of several threads.
tiki Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 Yup. My fiance gave me his password the other day when I asked for it. Just had junk from me and his uncle in there. God I love that man. I'm sure you've seen my "Why do people snoop?" post. I made light of the situation and we laughed about it. I'm officially a snoop now.
savethedrama4allama Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 Yeah I did. Yeah I found that his ex was still emailing him and he was lying about it, but he wasn't replying to her either. He was apologetic. I would do it again.
EC Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 I wish i could figure my guys password out..lol any suggestions? JKJ JKJKJKJKJK I would never...really I wouldnt...because i wouldnt want him going into mines lol
SECRETANGEL Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 Initially nothing.. Then emails of him badmouthing me. Was pissied, remained calm, installed "perfect keylogger"
Author netrie Posted September 16, 2004 Author Posted September 16, 2004 YellowL, That saying by Fr. J Cummings? Beautiful. Thank you. Sometimes I just want to hug people for who they are no matter what! Netalia
militarywife Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 I have my husbands email password and he has mine. He knows I go in there (especially when he is deployed) to check it and clean out any junk mail. He is not able to check his own often enough and if he receives something important I usually will call over and tell him about it. I don't think it's a big deal at all...we've always done it this way.
Barby Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 My BF doesn't use the internet, he has no access to a computer except mine, he doesn't have a clue how to set up an email account, ect. But if he did I would hope that he'd have the respect for me to not "hide" anything and that I would know the password. He is usually around when I check my email (though I never have much except from on here because I don't chat or email anyone). And if he wanted to look through my email, files, photos, ect I would be more than willing to open them up for him or (if he knew how) allow him to search himself. I can't imagine hiding anything from him, and vice versa....I would be really hurt if he did as I imagine likewise he'd be hurt if I did.
yuppie Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 Its been several months since i've gotten back with my ex after he cheated on me. He's determined to gain my trust back, which I suppose is good. He's given me his house key and passwords to his computer/email. Since I don't want to look like I'm over there just checking his email, I've setup a POP3 account here at work so all email that comes to his account, comes to my work account. Haven't seen anything suspicious, except a few emails from a girl that he says is "just a friend." (He told me she emailed him). (within the first month and a half of us starting over) It wasn't until we both sat down and emailed her and told her that we were back together that the emails stopped after she told him he was making the hugest mistake of his life. It was then that I realized that I maybe able to trust him, but the POP3 account still stands for prosperity's sake.
tiki Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 kids names, lovers names, date of births, crap like that.
EC Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 kids names, lovers names, date of births, crap like that. He has no kids, his kids future names didnt work.. Im his lover lol my name didnt work:( are there more? Date of birth no good.... Crap like that...didnt fit lol I cant figure it out. But good I wouldnt want to know what in there.....right? lol
Barby Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 how about a word he uses frequently? his favorite pet's name? his favorite band? hahaha sorry just throwing around ideas!
imjustagirl Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 my boyfriend is notorious for using Norse mythology names or scientific names for constellations and stars......crazy stuff, but at least it's making me educated.
Adunaphel Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 Originally posted by netrie Just curious if you did and if so, did you find anything? How did you react? I once guessed my bf's password. At the time I was more respectful of his privacy than I am now and I didn't snoop....it was more a 'hey, I was able to guess it'-ego-boost sort of thing. Told him that I saw him typing it and to change it. Now I'd probably keep my mouth shut and use the password to have a look from time to time. I wish i could figure my guys password out..lol any suggestions? While he is typing it count the number of clicks -so you know how many letters/numbers the pw is. That way you can have a lead. Originally posted by tikibrandy kids names, lovers names, date of births, crap like that. Anyone who uses that stuff as a password *deserves* to have people snoop in his email! Some people also have a password that matches the userID - or other userIDs they have. That's dumb!!! [hey, I do it myself. That's dumber!!! ]
tiki Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 Mine used to be the name of the tattoo that I have. Lord knows I'd never forget that.
Author netrie Posted September 16, 2004 Author Posted September 16, 2004 Thank you for being so HONEST with me. So many people pretend that they are morally superior than others and its good to know I am NOT the only one that went into my exes email account. He gave me the password one night in order to stay over and watch his dog. We had been broken up for 3 months and just started to get back together. Well, turns out he was "looking" and I didn't get far enough to know if he was actually sleeping with anyone but he was trying to from what I found out. Netalia
ltomlinson81 Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 Be careful with this one. Do you really want to know what is in there? I found out that my boyfriend cheated on me by snooping in his email the first time I ever did it. Needless to say, I moved out and we are no longer together. I am just saying... expect the unexpected.

I am just saying... expect the unexpected. We are not together anymore either... I used the No Contact rule 5 weeks ago. And can you believe he emails me, "Did you find someone new?" Brother! I wanted to scream... He just doesnt get it. He was/is so selfish that he doesnt know how much hurt he has done to me. I wish him well but just not with me. I felt like he was "eating me alive" and I was crying most of the time after I left him. It was awful. Netalia
Istandalone Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 I have all the passwords to my cheating, lying, heartbreaking ex-fiance' and check all of that stuff frequently. The reason I know that he is a constant liar is because of the bank account. Now that's a very precious password, let me tell you. Now I used to believe that he "worked late" because he's in the military and has crazy hours to begin with. Then I had the bright idea to look at his bank account and started seeing charges at bars, liquor stores, etc., which indicated that he was LYING! Some people believe that this kind of intrusion is unacceptable. Some people also believe that ignorance is bliss. But, in my personal opinion, I would rather be pissed off for the things that I find than have anxiety attacks because I was so suspicious. My fear eats at me far worse than being angry. If your guy has something to hide, then he should deal with the rammifications.

Notorious Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 Looked at my ex-gf's phone because I was suspicious, last missed call was from "Steve". She doesn't know any Steve's. Or at least as far as I knew. Needless to say, we aren't together anymore. Be careful if you want to snoop, you might not like what you find.
honey2005 Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 I have my bf's password and he has mine. I don't have anything to hide so I gave to him and vice versa. I don't snoop in his mail, though. When I'm bored I'll sometimes look, but never with the intent to find something bad. He looks in mine often, but I don't think he's snooping either. After all, we gave each other the passwords, what's so wrong about using them?
DerangedAngel Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 I once answered my ex boyfriend's 'secret question' (you know the thing for when you forget your password?) and got into his email that way. I'll never do it again. -DA
