Author na49 Posted July 2, 2013 Author Posted July 2, 2013 With all of the recent "I went through my SO's Activity Log and saw something" threads, I'm becoming more paranoid. I do trust my girlfriend, but I'm bound to have my curiosity get the best of me eventually. I don't want this to happen because nothing good will come of it. I talked to her about this already and she thought it was silly for her to have to change her password if I'm not going to be checking anyway. Any ideas on how to bring this up in a way that won't come off as annoying, but will get her to change her password so I won't know it?
carhill Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 So do you and your SO share passwords with each other? If so, why? If not, do you think it is a good idea? I can't be the only one who thinks this is a bad thing. Yes, my exW and I did and, in some cases, in non-critical areas, still have residual overlap in passwords. Our marriage ended because we didn't love each other anymore, but evidently there's still some respect as there hasn't been one instance of abuse by either person over the nearly three years we've been officially divorced. Probably some of that is because we had so many passwords that we've forgotten about some of them. So, IMO, the 'why' would revolve around a confluence of convenience, trust and respect regarding those specifics. This same type of dynamic is what provides me with keys and alarm codes to friend's homes. They trust me with such accesses. I get that alot, even from women I date. Have keys, done their tax returns, helped with business decisions. Must be my trusting eyes, IDK. Anyway, I don't see it as a right or wrong issue. If one wishes to keep passwords private, I respect that. Any I've ever received have been given voluntarily. I've never asked. 1
