My Question of the Day: Is it ever justified to read your partner’s/spouse’s emails/texts/tweets/IMs?

My wife was welcome to read my emails,etc. If she wished. I don’t think she ever wanted to, tho, she’s not into political writing
I set up her email accounts, knew her password, but never was inclined to read her private stuff, although she said I was free to.
I am afraid I don’t understand why one would wish to keep that type of material private from one’s partner. What type of relationship requires secrecy?

LikeDislikeIf you go around snooping you will find exactly what you DON’T want to find. Trust is essential to a healthy relationship and if you can’t trust who you are with it’s time to let them go. Think about if you would want someone snooping into your private things.

LikeDislikeAt the point you need to begin checking behind your partner, it is time for you to leave. Trust is the cornerstone of any relationship, and if you cannot trust or if you are willing to violate that trust to maintain the relationship, then the relationship is already in trouble.

LikeDislikeTrust is a must – work it out – no snooping. But…I looked at a few conversations my husband had on facebook with a female friend I didn’t trust. I trust HIM but wanted to see if SHE would say anything crazy if she thought I would not see it. I’m sure if she did he would put her in her place. I didn’t think so at the time but does that equate to snooping?

LikeDislikeSnooping around and deliberately invading another’s privacy is a desperate attempt to control someone; to ‘keep them in line’ due to your insecurity. Your partners privacy is sacred, regardless of whatever suspicion may have and their privacy should be respected at all times.
