Does your SO have access to your emails, passwords, phone? I’ve seen some couples who have a joint email, but curious to know how many couples have open access to devices and emails?

We have a joint email that we use for things like appointments, to link to apps and websites that we would want to share an account on. We also have all of each others passwords and pins. We have only been married 5 years but we had all this from basically day 1. What’s the point of marrying someone if you can’t trust them?

I can think of a few other reasons, but I'm rather surprised by people who haven't considered having a second mobile phone and an additional free email account.

Why on earth would anyone use their primary email and phone number for extracurricular activities?

funny

We have all of our emails on our phones and laptops. We each primarily use our own personal emails, but we have a shared one for certain types of sign ups and accounts.

I don’t really look through her email unless I’m trying to find a receipt or a ticket pdf or something, same goes with her. It’s handy sometimes though.

I kind of manage all of our stuff, so I keep everything in a password manager (1Password) and it’s all in the same vault.

I have no issue if she wanted to look through my email. That said, if I wanted to be secretive about something I obviously wouldn’t use my own email…

Absolutely not. Why would any person want that is beyond my understanding. I don’t want to know my husbands passwords and I don’t want him to know mine either.

Yeah I'm with KPMG1. We share everything and there are definitely times when it comes up. This weekend I was trying to log into our Roomba app which was set up with my spouse's email credentials. I had to reset the password so I grabbed his phone to go into his email for the reset link since he was downstairs. Pretty innocent stuff!

No, it would never occur to use to have joint email. We've each had our own since forever. If the idiotic political rants from my relatives landed in the same inbox as the moronic political rants from her relatives, who knows what would happen? The computer might jump out a window. Seriously, I know my wife's passwords because I'm kind of the IT guy in the household, but we don't care about each other's emails.

My wife knows all my passwords and I hers.

We never go on each others stuff because we trust each other. We know then should something happen to one or the other and we need to take care of things.

We don't have access to each others' business emails, of course. We could read through each others' home emails if we wanted to, but why would we want to? I don't have time to scroll through my own email and dump the trash, much less spend time sorting through her spam and nonsense. We have the same password for all our devices and the same PIN for our credit cards -- the date and year of our anniversary. We've been married for 30 years, so there's not too much that's still private in our relationship.

Definitely no joint email (yuck), and in general no, we don't have access to each other's devices. However, we will give each other our unlocked phones to look at stuff frequently. You could poke around in the unlocked phone if you wanted and it doesn't really matter because there's nothing to find.

I think it’s crazy that, if a person doesn’t want to share their passwords etc, people immediately go to oh something to hide or the person is cheating etc.

Absolutely not; and let's ensure there's not a whiff of anyone else's perfume when I whisk you away for a tantalising lunch any day of the week. Keep your extracurricular dalliances well hidden!

funny

I mean we know phone passwords I guess. Mostly just from how many hands full moments one of us needs the other to reply to something for them haha.

funny

We do have access to each other phones and know passwords, but none of us snoops on each other. I don't go through his phone but i can use it if I need it, no problem, and vise versa.

We have a joint email for our bills etc to go to so we can track but we use our personal emails

Yup, we share a password storage thing between us, as we sign up to/subscribe to diff things. We've synced each other's emails to our devices so we can see what each other gets; saved opening a new joint email account. She has my pw to my phone, and then used mine for her device 😂 easy for me to remember then, I guess!

lol I used my husbands passcode when I got my new phone too! Like you said easier for us to remember one.

We do not have joint email. He knows all my password and pin. He told me his but I don't remember it. Secretly I think he sees my phone but I never felt I need to check his and I am okay if he wants to look through my mails or phone.

You must build a trust bridge from the beggining and never break it. We never interfere each other's personal belongings including emails, phones, and etc because we both are professionals and married over 20 years.

Good luck!

We both know all of each other’s passwords, but the only email account we share is for a business that we manage together. So we’re very open and trusting but still individuals in the digital space.

We don't have a joint email and social media accounts, but we know each other cell phone passcodes. My husband access my cell phone more than I touch his cell phone.

We have access to everything. We have a joint email, bank accounts, everything. Our lives are intertwined as one. It's easy for family things, and appointments. We have small kids. It's easy to know what eachother have going on. Emails for bills, school for the kids.

I also have his Gmail on my devices bc he doesn't care for it, but I help him sometimes with admin stuff. I don't have his yahoo though.

Daycare recommendation in Ashburn for a 2 year old?

Every night for like the past month I’ve been getting incredibly emotional about adulthood. I miss the lack of responsibility, the simplicity of life, friends were always around, and less pressure to be successful.

I’m 3 years out of college now so it’s not like I just started doing this stuff, but I am feeling the exact same feeling as I did when I first started work and just wanted to be back in college. I know I just need to grow up and accept that’s how life is but it’s incredibly upsetting
