Do you feel you have the right to ask for your boyfriend/husband's email password?

Not strictly email but myspace, facebook, or any of that other stuff that he may have. And if he refused to give them to you, would you be angry/suspicious/whatever?

Do you feel you have the right to ask for your boyfriend/husband's email password?
No, I don't think I have a right to have his passwords. I'm his wife - not his warden. I fully trust him and if he were going to cheat, me knowing his passwords wouldn't stop him.
Reply:Yes i would have to say i would be angry.We all have a myspace,me,hubby,and kids and we have all the passwords for theirs and he doesnt have his anymore because he got bored with it but absolutely he has mine.He wouldnt have it any other way or else i wouldnt have one lol.I dont think he should not tell you because you should be able to check it out and his friends as well and if he has a problem with that i would just assume he is hiding something and thats not good.Just talk to him and tell him that he should have nothing to hide from you.Good luck
Reply:I never thought that was right until my husband asked me to print some documents from his e-mail account and in the process I discovered a very sexually explicit e-mail he'd sent to an ex co-worker. After that, I demanded to have his password. Still, I don't check his mail; one, because I feel like I'm prying; second, because maybe I'm afraid of what I may find, and third, 'cause now that he knows I have his password. maybe he'll be smart enough not to get into more trouble with me.
Reply:My boyfriend is very private, I mean VERY PRIVATE! And the reason is that in the beginning of our relationship, he was very open and gave me his password. I snooped, I know I shouldn't have, but I did. He was hurt and angry, but we got over it. I still know all of his passwords, like he knows mine. BUT we don't snoop... I've wanted to, trust me! But it's not worth hurting him.





Now if he refused to give it to me, I'd be hurt. But then I'd have to ask myself WHY I want it. Is it to see how much he trusts me or how much I trust him, or is it to invade his privacy because I feel like I HAVE TO!





If you're in a good healthy relationship, passwords shouldn't matter. Whether he gives it to you or not.





Good luck.
Reply:If you feel like you need his password...then you don't trust him and he has the right to refuse because that's an a assault to him because you don't trust him.So just put you worries aside and trust what the two of you have and have faith that he's going to do right by him and stop trying to go in his personal things, if he give it to you yes that's fine..but both of you deserve to have your privacy..and it also seems to me that you need to have a talk with him about why you feel this way.GOOD LUCK oh and don't feel bad alot of women do it ecluding me, but it's not worth it because you should trust one another.
Reply:I would never ask for my fiance's passwords, that is his private space. If a person feels they have no private time and no private space in a relationship, that's when they start feeling claustrophobic and a need to run away and start hiding things.





I don't ask for his passwords and when he is on the computer I don't walk up right behind him and read what he is doing. At least I give him a couple minutes to close anything private, first. He loves me and spends lots of time with me and I have absolutely no suspicions about anything. Trust.
Reply:My ex-wife was very controlling like that, and yeah, I did things that weren't respectful like that that caused her to be that way, and I see that was wrong of me. My gf sometimes would randomly go through her emails while I am sitting next to her randomly, without me asking. She feels that it's her privacy and wouldn't ask me for my passwords either, and after she would go through her emails, would ask me to open mine. I think that is a more non-threatening way of doing it, and requires us to have integrity towards our significant other instead of just having passwords. It does take a good deal of trust to not go there with the passwords. We have the kind of relationship though where we are open with everything. Having a more trusting and accepting mindset towards the other I think would free him or her to want to be more open with you if there is anything going on or any temptations. We have that kind of openness, but it takes time to build that by not being judgemental with each other.
Reply:Yeah you have the right to ask for it but that doesn't mean he should give it to you. Just because your married it doesn't mean that you no longer have the right to privacy. It doesn't mean that he has something to hide. It just means he should have some level of privacy. I would be concerned if he didn't let you view his page.
Reply:sometime to men they like to feel as though they have something to themselves and that's one of the last things they can have and not have to share with you. either u trust him or inform him its something that u need to know for urself. if he is understanding he should have no problem but maybe he is hiding something from u , u never know. sometimes its best to go with ur gut.
Reply:He wants his privacy. Shouldn't he have some privacy? If you think he is cheating, then hire a P.I., but if not, then let him have his privacy. I never invaded my husband's privacy, until it was apparent that he was cheating. Glad I did, but, he didn't give me any passwords. You'll have to do your own investigations.
Reply:yes i would be angry if my partner wouldnt give me his password, cause then i would think he has secrets from me .. and actually if i know the pasword its not necessary to use it, u can just know, and u can feel great tha tur partner trusts u and doesnt have any secrets.. i knew the passwords of all my bfs, but i never used them

Reply:No, there's no way I would ask for that. We all need space and privacy, even within a relationship. If you do not trust your partner then you should re-evaluate your relationship.
Reply:No I don't feel I have the right, nor does he have the right to know mine. I wouldnt get upset if he refuse to give me it either. It's none of my business what his password is.
Reply:If you feel the need to ask for your spouse's passwords, I think it's highly likely that you are already angry/suspicious/whatever.
Reply:i made his accounts for him and i manage them for him. but i don't really go through his messages unless he asks me too. i do trust him after all.
Reply:Its up to both spouses, my wife has mine and i have hers, i never check her email unless she asks me to, i could care less if she checks mine
Reply:I would give my wife my passwords if she wanted them cause I have nothing to hide, but I know she'd never ask for them or have any interest in reading through my mail.
Reply:No you don't have the right. My goodness it sounds like you are a nosey one.


You don't trust him that's for sure.
Reply:I know all of my husbands probable passwords and he knows all of mine.





No secrets in a marriage.
Reply:yes you may have the right to ask....but he has the right to decline : )
Reply:I don't care what his passwords are. I would be more concerned about what made me feel like I needed his passwords! And if you're playing PI, get yourself a key logger program which will give you his passwords without his knowledge. But honestly, if you have to resort to that, the marriage is in huge trouble.
Reply:Not At All!





People need to maintain their space in a relationship. If it is based on manipulative mind control then it is a dictatorship and not a mutual relationship. I am assuming that you are a female. There is a controlling problem with someone that needs all of their spouses personal passwords etc. I would view someone like this as immature and insecure.





Much like we have minds and can filter our speech. Privacy allows us to make mistake without being on constant blast from our partners. I don't mean cheating, but there are times when no matter how great the partner is you are tempted. The commitment is present when space is there for the relationship to grow. Ask yourself what is missing and broken inside you that needs to control what is going on with someone else.
Reply:no right what so ever. That is private.
Reply:no i wouldnt give it to you either; that is called trust and respecting him
Reply:not right at all!
