unsafe Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 My boyfriend of 9 months offered to give me his log in information for the surius radio. I asked for it yesterday while at work and he said he would set up a guest thing for me tomorrow? I said ok can I just log in today with your log in? And he said waiting and replied and gave me info. It didn't work. So I asked him what was up? He said he just set it up for me but wasn't sure if it went through. I asked him if he was afraid to give me his password. He said he uses the password for everything and didn't want to give it out to ANYONE! But I'm his girlfriend we are in our late 20's. And I'm hoping that this works out for us both. But he can't trust me with his password. He said its to his financial info and credit info. But I was like what do you think I would do with it? He said I've heard crazy stories about girls checking everything. So to me I feel like he has something to hide? Am I right or wrong. I left it alone because there is no reason to agrue about it. But now I have an uneasy feeling. I mean I don't want the info. I didn't know it was a big deal and now that it is I don't want it. But the fact that he made a big deal makes me wonder? I know people like their privacy, but I just wanted to listen to the radio. Any opinions on this?
Craig Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 Any opinions on this? You think too much. It isn't a matter of him not trusting you. Your bf is being realistic, safe and responsible. Until you and he are married you shouldn't expect to know any of his passwords.
Art_Critic Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 I wouldn't give my mother my master password to all my accounts.. I'm going with Craig on this.. It isn't about trust..and until you are commited thru marriage then you don't need to know his passwords It is about personal responsibility. Think of what could happen if he gave you his master password and then a year later you broke up.. it would take him forever to change all those accounts Just sit back and enjoy the music from the radio...
justagirlforever Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 Yep, don't stress about it. It's normal (not to want to give out a password) and people really shouldn't anyone. You just *never* know.
curiousnycgirl Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 I agree with the crowd on this one. I have one master password that I use for everything - and NO ONE not even my mother has it. For things I share with my b/f (such as the website for health insurance as he is on my plan) I have switched my password to a single one that I am willing for he and I to have - but that's it.
curiousnycgirl Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 Forgot to mention it's my b/f of 2.5 years and I am 41, he is 50 - so it's not an age/maturity thing.
whichwayisup Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 This isnt' about not trusting you, it's just about his privacy. My husband doesn't even know my PIN number to my debit card... Don't take it so personally.
