Should husband/wife/partner be entitled to access your email or social media account?

Of course, my partner and I also exchange accounts. Maybe because we have almost the same properties. I'm not even willing to see her staring at another woman.

No, they shouldn't be entitled to it. Nobody is entitled to anything personal or private of another individual even if that person is your significant other. There needs to be trust in a relationship and if you don't trust that person then you probably shouldn't be with them or need to ask yourself why don't you trust them. Do you not trust them because of your own insecurities or something that they have done? If both of you want to be open about your private lives and share your access to your accounts then that's fine but you shouldn't be demanding this sort of access. I really wouldn't want anyone having unfiltered access to my accounts because I value my privacy even though I would have nothing to hide. If you suspect your partner of something then you should talk it out and get to the root cause of your worries or fears.



Lol. Why would you not want her looking at another woman? Afraid she's going to run off?

yes should be transparent of every thing. because you are husband and wife should know all about your doing.  It doesn't mean Just because you have the access of his/her email you have to get involve but you are looking his stuff.  It should be reciprocal. You should be sharing something if your partner also did share it. People are happiest when they have a match. You and your partner should be a match in that respect too.

not really...Privacy means Privacy...besides if you have trust to each other to your partner or husband and wife then must give privacy....other matters is it depends how you treat your partner whether you want to share what do you have in private life or not..

Yes. They should be entitled. If you believe they shouldn't then you are hiding something from your partner which is not a good thing it will lead to your relationships downfall with your partner.

No. I believe that it makes no sense to look at your loved one's mail. After all, if you do this, it means that you obviously do not trust him. You need to give your loved one some freedom.

I have nothing to hide from my wife thats why i let her access my fb account or my phone either. It is my way of telling her that i am loyal to her and also a way for me to do away with cheating.

A healthy relationship starts with mutual respect, and that includes respecting each other’s emotional and physical boundaries.

If you really love and trust your partner/husband/wife, I think there's no need to look at his/her mail, there are also boundaries and privacies that should be given to your partner. Also if he/she is really loyal to you,he/she will not do anything wrong that can lead to relationship downfall.

Of course , my wife can  access my email or social media account because we trust each other , no secret to cover up .

immediately thought of another woman...
I thought of changing password and prevent me from accessing it

il try to remember that "mutual respect"
and someone might also want to  remember "check and balance"

yes that shows a healthy relationship.
sometimes, no matter how aligned we are, we see things differently.

i think its up to you because for me its okay if they know my account because i do not need to hide something to them. because they know all about me then. and all of my social media account is for them also so there is no problem with it.

 If you’re not hiding something to your husband/ wife there’s wrong nothing to with sharing it to your partner.

For the good partnership of being husband and wife is to express their feelings both side and also sharing their own account specially here in bitcoin they must be both shared of all account and exact details of wallet account because of unexpected happen, no one knows,

Yes, because it is the same thing. When you know the email and  password of your partner they still cheat. What more if you don't know the email and password of their accounts.  ;)

No, husband/wife/partner should not be entitled to access our email or social media account because we all need a private life. Our email is our personal account and so it should not be owned by anyone else even with our partners. Reading our partner's email is no way to live. So, there's no need to permit them to access our account.

Any entitlement should end where the private space starts. Who would want to be in such " entitled" relationship?

Yes, each partner should be entitled to see email and other social media contents, but there is strong truth that no one really cares to see or indulge in partner's happenings or need to look into each partner's life if there is strong and faith between partners. If trust or faith fails between partners, then this question needs to be asked, and in this case, as I feel they should entitled to see their emails or other social sites to maintain trust and faith between partners.  

Business email, yes. But personal emails, no. Even if we are married, there is still privacy that each one needs to respect. Each partner should trust each other and that trust. Its not necessary that we have to give everything to our partner, why? Because when times come if you separate ways, then he or she can use it to blackmail you.

It depends on the honesty between the two. If one has nothing to hide from his/her partner there is no point of having such privacy. Sharing would be helpful for a long term relationship.

I think partner should have access in their email or social media accounts if they really trust or love each other. In this way, each one will eradicate the doubt in ecah other.

Good communication done husband and wife is a communication that is based on honesty. The absence of secrets and conceal something intentionally to the couple. Keeping openness is very important to realize, whatever the reason. even if you feel that you do not want to overwhelm and inconvenience your partner, waste your time or feel the same know (without being communicated), these reasons over time make you stop telling and involve partner in your life .

Why not make a boundary between you and your partner that is a sign of unfaithfulness. Partners should share every thing that they have so I don't think keeping something that your partner has a right to know or to share is advisable.

Yes, because we promise to our partner that we will be honest until the last breath of our life. If you don't hide anything then why not. At the end of the day, trust is the most important thing to every relationship. Trust makes the relationship stronger and longer.

Know as well as passwords from boxes and telephones. But they should not climb. This is the inviolability of personal space. Not then when there is no possibility to climb, and when there is no desire to dig into someone else's personal space.

Me I don't mind giving my wife all my password. I trust her enough because I love her. She didn't ask me what is my password but I gave it to her with all my heart. May all social media account even my atm she knew it and vice versa I know her all password.

I think our partner isn't allowed to access our email or social media account because we need our privacy, we must have the media that we able arrange by our self. For me, my email is for my bussiness, so i think it just for me and nobody can't intervention that. If your partner can acess that, i'm afraid if he/she doing something wrong (delete some folders, etc) it can harm your job. And then social media it's very private and its a place which you can do 'me time' (like post whatever you want, stalking someone/ artist, etc). If your partner intervention it, what you post is his/her will, so no privacy anymore.
The best thing in the relationship that each partner still have a privacy in their life, because if no privacy the relationship will be boring. In the relationship we must have honest and trust, so no problem if we have privacy in our email or social media  :)

I feel strange when relating social media with piracy

First and foremost there is no smoke without fire so if a partner feels that he wants to check the email, phone and social media of his/her partner then there must be a reason to why he is really doing. I don't think its good because everyone is entitled to their own privacy but with infidelity they may have a point.

its difficult to prove that knowing your partners email and password would adress cheating.

it should be open to sharing but not as entitlement just because there is nothing to hide

That's good if partner can give some space of privacy. But if they allowed to access the sosmed, that's okay..

Yes! I don't think privacy is a good for partners. Perhaps they should be open and share all what they have and what they were doing. As i observed to our environment, many married couple or not married they end up the relationship because of dishonesty and there is a third party between the two. flirting to other woman/man without knowing by other side. so it's better to have disclosure to have a better and happy relationship.

My wife have all the access on my social media account well it is okay with me but what i dont want is she's reading my chat messages even i am using my phone and she will insist to read it, well i dont have privacy on my own and sometimes its not a good feeling but on her part she wants me to do the same to her but i dont care at all as i trust her and i dont want to trespass her privacy but i hope she can realize it sooner!

I believe that a strong relationship has a respect the privacy of each other. It doesn't mean you cheated her/him that is trust. Everyone needs a privacy.

I really think that it is okay for your partner to have access on your email or social media account as long as there are still boundaries such as: they can only check it, but not use it. I really think that it's better so that they will not have any doubt that you are keeping some secret.

there is an internet history deletion pact going on between my friend and I, so only sharing i do is after I die

I think in every relationship you should have space and have your own privacy. The number one reason why someone wants access to your
social media is because they are insecure. There is always another side: maybe in the past you used the freedom to cheat on them and now
they have a hard time trusting you. Conclusion: if you can live with insecure partners then giving them access to your social media or email is normal,
but if your partner is not asking you to give them then the answer is no.

Yes , ofcourse. Since you are partners, you shouldn't hide anything from each other. My partner and I knows each other's passwords and it's a good thing because we're not hiding anything from each other. Trust must always be present in a relationship as long as both of you know your bounderies and limits.

Privacy equally legitimate partner just because our partner is not yet officially so our wives, my advice keep your privacy only to your family biological.

my wife can have access to my mails and other stuffs purpoted as private

If you are married there is no need for privacy from each other. You should be transparent to your partner even on your thoughts. Because if you practice that privacy thing then it is easy for each other to hide something especially when it is about fidelity. Everyday there is a temptation, but if you will practice privacy you tend to hide it from your partner that you are being tempted. Tendency is you will fall into the trap and relationship will be broken. If your partner knows that someone is flirting on you she/he might help you to avoid it. Partner is always your partner in everything. He/She should know everything.

Everybody need privacy it is not your hiding someone or you cheat your partner. The most important in a relationship is trust so if you trust your partner why you have share everything sometimes in a relationship needs privacy.

I won't deliberately give my passwords to my bf to access my emails, social networks etc, but if I need to do so at some point I will. He will prolly remember them but won't use them too much. He trusts me and is respectful of my privacy as well (and so I am with him). If I'm logged in on his phone and forget to log out, he will take a quick look and then log out for me (and tell me the next time we're on the phone). One factor can be that I'm French, he's American and doesn't speak my language, so doesn't see the point of trying to read my emails and is prolly too lazy to Google translate each of them  ;D However, as long as I'm concerned, I can understand his emails and messages, and every time he forgot to log out of his accounts on my devices, I did the same: took a quick look at who he was messaging and then logged out for him.
I think the day he'll want to cheat on me or chat with other girls, he won't forget to log out from my phone/computer !

I believe so. Though we don't really discuss the matter. I know his email password due to some businesses. However social media accounts are still private. We dont exchange passwords... Ironic? Haha

Yes me and my partner shared our accounts on social media , because when you love your partner there must be no secrets on both of you and everything and anything on both of you and your partner must shared. And there is no problem at all when giving your own privacy to your partner.

In the first place, if your husband or wife doesn't do anything to cheat on you and if there is trust built in your relationship, you don't need to know their passwords. You can opt to know or let them know if you're not hiding anything just to keep their peace of mind but still, not all the time you can invade someone's privacy.

I think there is no problem to know each other an account of the social partner. Means there no things to hide, and we keep the openness and honesty. Different if we can't know, it could even be a quarrel

I think there’s no problem if he/she wants to know the password of their partner. I believe that if you commit in a relationship you have to be transparent to your partner.

is it alwAys that when we love, there must be no secrets?

To create lasting relationships with your partner should have no such things as privacy, a commitment to be honest is required in a relationship. If there is a secret behind a relationship, It creates a suspicion and a dispute will be happening. Whatever you own such as account of social media have must be known by your partner .

It doesn’t matter for me if he have the  access of all my social media accounts and email as long as he didn’t do anything to it. But if we think to be general, our emails and social media accounts is our private account and we need to have a privacy in it. They are my partners so we don’t need to be angry if they want to have access to our accounts.

For me yes i will share my password in my social media accounts gmail or even my private key even my password in atm.if we really love that person we must give trust also.what i have he own also thats why i will allow him about it.if you want to make that relation go strong no secrets and no privacy.

Well, I am sure that every person has a right to private life. People should feel themselves freely in relationships . So in my opinion husband/wife/partner should not know passwords to email or social media account.

why should we have privacy with our friend of life? i don't think we should have privacy, actually we just need to be more open and transparent for everything we can shares.

Absolutely not. Everbody has a right to have some privacy. For that reason, It does not matter whether they are our wives, husbands or any significant other. Relationships are based upon trust. If couples trust each other, there is no need to learn each other's passwords for sure.

No, absolutely not a good idea. It's a privacy issue, I believe everyone has a right to his or her
privacy. This will only lead to a unpleasant outcome, once you allow your partner to invade and
monitor you social media and emails it will create a form of monitoring routine. A trust issue that
will mutate into a control issue. It's not just about trust it's all about respect. But if you are willing
to share the access and if it does some good to the relationship then do so.

For me partners should share their accounts specially if you know that she/he is worthy of your trust,
And if she/he is the one that would be with you till you grow old.

what privacy means ?

Privacy is Privacy means I can not allow anyone to check my email or social media

You have the right to privacy in any relationship, including in marriage, family, or group. In any relationship, you have the right to keep a part of your life secret, no matter how trivial or how important, for the sole reason that you want to do so. You also have the right to spend some time alone and with only yourself. It is healthy and wise to honor the sense of emotional and physical privacy needed on both side

I value my privacy and his privacy. Having privacy means you respect the fact that your partner has its own life separate from you. As his partner, I choose him that is why I should trust him. A relationship without trust is just like a car without wheels. It won't go further. Insecurities are very unhealthy. It will destroy your relationship in the long run.

why not? to hide something?

In a relationship of love, each couple would want to always share in everything. Especially for couples who have been married. Anything the couple do, we feel 'obliged' to know that no one feels 'covered up'.

From 'All Womens Talk' there are some things that we should not share to the couple. These include Password. Sharing passwords is not a good idea. Whether it's a password on social media, personal email account password or password on the Blackberry.

No. Because i think everyone deserve their own space. Everyone has their own secrets that they won't tell others even to their partners. By having their own space means they respect each other.

You hit it on the spot. Its because of that 2 words that you've used. Trust and respect. It's not healthy for a relationship to have the two parties check on each person's personal accesses. The other person would likely feel a liitle down because of that. A healthy relationship means giving each other a little space or privacy without being paranoid or thinking bad about your partner

I agree!  :D

Even though people are married, there must be private areas and time. They have to respect to eachother. If they trust eachother, there will not any problems between wife and husband. Therefore they will not need to know email or social media accounts.

Everyone  of us should have a privacy of a freedom even we have already  have a husband or wife we should have a privacy to do things in our own do things with freedom

Toword the end of the threatment

You are in a stuffed up relation i guess,you do not trust you partner and you are really insecure and so is the reason you are doing these kind of staking behavior  :P,you have to give a breathing space to your partner ,he or she needs to have their own privacy ,having committed to someone does not mean that you have to peep into everything,unless you partner does not bother ,then it is your call,but i would not go into others personal things like e mail and phone.

Not at all specially if your partner is too noisy. Ofcourse you trust your partner but sometimes much better to keep it secret to avoid sabotage things on your account. There is a limit to your partner in things you do. If you have partner and you know each other wholly, from head to foot, from childhood to marriage, from marriage to golden wedding. I think your partner is trust worthy to give your account to her for the honesty and partnership reason as you and your partner as one. It still depends to the situation.

Yes! To sone extend, mutual agreement, transparency wise, but no to using his account to spy out or using it to post or chat someone I suspected to, I believe there's still a need for some privacy with regards to respect to your partner's feeling and condition but can share some thoughts and can browse to it, depending how you treat each other if you're secure and honest enough with your spouse there's nothing to hide not unless you have something that you do not want him/her to find out and that cause.... trouble.

For me, it dependes on the couple, either married or not. Each has their own preference whether they still would want privacy in their lives even though they are married. But if you're not hiding anything that will make your partner think bad about what you're doing then by all means share your password to your email or social media accounts. In some cases, there are really private things that a group of men or women talk about so some enjoy their privacy like that. In the end, it really depends on what the couple decides.

it depends upon the situation..  :) . not all of us are in same frequencies with our partners  8)

Well, I think if people trust to each other it's ok if they have access to their accounts. Every of them just know that other person won't read all messages

If you guys agree to it fine! But for me, leaving everything bare for your partner to see just nourishes trust between you two. Telling and showing them all that you are secures them and trusts you more to do things on your own without your partner hovering over your shoulder all the time. I believe that the only thing to actually keep from your partner is that if you're planning on a surprise, other than that you guys should sit down and talk about it

NO! even we're partner/wife why would I give you my password. Even we're at the relationship it doesn't give you the authority have access on my email or social media account. Giving the password to the partner doesn't make you a trustworthy partner. A shady partner can do shady things even without email or social media account.

For me yes,my wife and I shared all things we have the cellphones laptop and all gudgets we have we all know the password and the two of us can access.

of course! Is there anything to hide?

If you love your wife/husband let her/him access your email or social media account. So they will not feel that you are hiding something to them. My wife can access all my account.

yes, as we all know that social media has a big effect of all relationship all over the world even the kind and trusty person can do bad things in social media by flirting so that we should have the transparency to our partner and privacy. We have to share and let our partner know what we are doing so that relationship will last and forever.

No,i think if you believe your partner then your don't need her any social media account or email to check her.

Yes, they should. It will develop a positive trust between partners.

I think there is nothing wrong with it after all she/he is your partner in life,
There is nothing wrong in letting your partner know your password unless you are hiding something from them.

Well i think it’s a normal thing. You are already married, you are a family so you are considered as one now. So if you don’t have anything to hide with each other then why not share it with each other. As a married couple you must share everything with each other, there must be no secrets if you don’t want any problem.

Why not? If you haven't anything that she/he can have a problem, why not, right? It is need for the two people to access the privacy upcourse to gave the trust that they need and upcourse nothing about to curious.

Upcourse if you don't want the thing to pulicity to your husband/wife don't do it upcourse some thing that she/he didnt know and he/she didn't need to know.

No, we agreed that we will not look at each other's social networks and mail
But it seems to me sometimes she climbs in my instagram

It is possible for husband and wife to have access to each other private information of their social media account provided they have a very high level of trust which is the only tool that can eliminate misunderstanding.

In others, they give them password account to their partner, because this is the way on how they sincerely to their husband/wife, it is ok because you are together in one house, but if it is just a boyfriend/girlfriend I know it is good to give your account to them. 

I do not think it is necessary, because sometimes it will cause excessive prejudices, there are limits where there are things we have to share and there are things that do not have to share

You   hit it on the spot. Its because of that 2 words that you've used. Trust and respect. It's not healthy for a relationship to have the two parties check on each person's personal accesses. The other person would likely feel a liitle down because of that. A healthy relationship means giving each other a little space or privacy without being paranoid or thinking bad about your partner
[/quote]

I strongly agree with your statement "The other person would likely feel a liitle down"
If you could share some unique idea on how to teach the partner to change for the better, would be appreciated.

Youre trying to tell that sometimes, sharing could cause excessive prejudices, which I agree.
But I believe doing the opposite has the greater  chance of bringing the same prejudices.

But with some partner, having access to their partners personal account could bring worse source of conflicts.

Sometimes, we admire other people, for their looks, for their wit, for their humor..these things which are sometimes/most of the times we do not find with our partner..
And I believe these things better be kept to out selves or be kept from our partners.

We actually entitled to have privacy, but not to our husband/wife. because during of vows married people should transparent to each other because they are in one now. They should know all the transactions each other. 

I think that is like personal issue with person asking for something like that. Let your partner breathe. He/she needs personal space. That is the only way of earning trust between partners. And yeah that is my opinion.

Is there any law or legal something pertaining this issue?

Completely, perfectly agreed with your ideas which you have mentioned above. People should make their signifcant others breathe If you want to have a good and trustful relationship with them. All of the human beings need to have some personal space for sure.

I personally allow my wife to access my social media account. It is my personal way of saying my faithfulness to our relationship. If you have nothing to hide then i believe that we must let our partner have access to our accounts.

They can as long as they agreed to do so, but then there is some part I am not agreeing with, like when one partner deliberately use it without the other partner's permission to see if his/her partner is having an affair he's checking on it and posting and chatting as if he/she is, if there's trust there's no need to hide nor do something out of curiosity or suspicious out of jealousy, its like by passing someone's privacy or invading it. we need to have some space and privacy.. yes couples consider as one but they still have individual personality.

Depending on the agreement of each of his spouses. In my opinion, it's okay for our spouse to know our account. Provided you do not abuse it. For example send comments as if the owner

Entitled?  Of course not.  But we read each other's stuff all the time, because we're both comfortable with it.  We keep no secrets.

Yes ofcourse. Partners shouldn't hide anything from each other. As long as no one is hiding anything, there's nothing to fear about entrusting your private keys or passwords to your partner. Me and my partner both have the access to each other's social media account and our relationship is getting stronger each day.

It depends of both of you,because we all have a privacy to each other,and if you have a trust to  each other you have a good relationship and if both of you know it its good also ..

I believe couple should be transparent with each other.This is an indication that the relationship is a healthy one. Often couples make a mistake to keep secrets from their partners. but if you are not hiding anything and you trust your partner privacy is eliminated.

From my point of view you either trust each other blindly or build that trust by sharing your social media accounts. Although it doesn't stop your partner from making a second account.

Privacy is a matter in a couple now a days, Many couples broke because they don't share their accounts in social media, by that partners begin to doubt each other. So I believe that if you matter your relationship, you have to be transparent and no secret in everything so that your relationship will getting stronger.

I believe that in a relationship, privacy makes the relationship a more mysterious. mystery give sparks in couples or partners.

Not at all. Husband and wife is not always in the same boat. Sometimes they come to the point that they didn't like each other. Seems they are enemy for a long time without communication. If the partner become map there is a possible that She/ He will access to the email and spread bad information about the partner or possible to change the password without knowing by the partner. It is depends if your relationship last for more than 30 years I think this is the perfect time.  ;D

Why not? it is depend on you, if you don't need to hide something on him/her they can access your account on social media or email. My husband can access my account and I can access his account too so there is nothing wrong, we are not arguing about that issue because we don't have any problem on that thing. Once you are faithful to your partner there will be nothing wrong with that.  :D

Exactly. I agree. Of course privacy is important but being in a relationship with someone or being married to someone entitles them to have access to everything you both have. And it wouldn't actually matter if you don't have anything to hide though it is unhealthy to always check because that means there's no trust anymore, which should be a foundation in a strong relationship. Even if you're entitled doesn't mean you have to check. Trust and privacy is something that should be respected

I don't think that there is any reason to keep it hided in your partner ,Unless of course you are doing something behind their back.
It wouldn't really matter to you if they know your password because she/he is your wife/husband you should trust them with everything .

I dont think so,but for me have or dont have privacy still they same,because some partner if you trust them,they will take advantage and do such a bad thing,so sometimes its very difficult to trust especially this generation,

I think not, that's simply an invasion of one's privacy. That sits
very uncomfortable with me, it may come as a trust issue or something
like that in a good way but sooner and later it will bring some very bad and
alarming stuff in the relationship. Privacy is extremely valuable and of great importance
to an individual, it doesn't matter if your hiding something or not, the truth is it's yours and
it's your choice, a self preservation kind of thing. If someone takes that away from you, you barely
got nothing. If the husband or wife wants each other to access their social media and email accounts,
it's very acceptable but with certain limitations and shouldn't be a mandatory things. Have some self respect.

Being in a relationship with someone does not give you permission to access every aspect of theirs, even if you do happen to know their log-in details. When partners start snooping around in each other’s inboxes the authenticity of the relationship is immediately doomed.

As husband and wife you should not hide anything from each other. You need to trust each other so that your relationship will become stronger. My wife knows all my passwords. Because i don't want her to feel that i am hiding anything from her.

No they should not be. I don't hide my messenger if she is next too me, but thats the extend of it. You need trust in a relationship.

Why some people don't want their husbands/wives access their email or social media accounts. Maybe they are hiding something. If you really love each other don't hide anything with each other.

According to me everyone should have their own privacy space over all. Everyone needs to have some time for themselves

Yes of course , He can open my social media account Because my Husband is my other half . So that,  Whatever my property is also his property.

yes he know may password and i know his password too in social media sometimes he allow me to reply his messages while he is busy working.. Trust is the key in order to have a sweet relationship

I don't see anything wrong if your partner knows your social media account as long as your transparent with each other and you are not hiding anything in your account. That only proves that you are honest with your partner.  Only those partner with skeletons on their closets will not share their account to their husband or wife.

For me they could be entitled to access but not necessarily have control over your accounts. It's just a sense of transparency but not necessarily meant to meddle with one's business. There should be privacy at some point, but what's wrong is when you are keeping secrets that's why you are not open to being transparent. This could lead to fights or arguments which of course should be avoided instead being prompted.

Marriage is a union, right?Both partners are united to share one house, one bed,
one family.They share gifts and every other thing alike.Why should accessing phone in the spirit
of oneness be different?I think partners should share every of their belongings together.There
should be no exception to the rule.Hence, your partner has the right of union to access, check and
use your details in the spirit of love.It may even save you from unwarranted trouble ranging from
hacking, security compromises,theft, kidnapping and all lots of other vices.Your partner need to watch your back
by accessing what you access.

For me , there is no problem if you will give your personal accounts to your wife or husband, because you are a family and you are partners in all times. 

I have no partner and havent ever thought like this way really. Cant actually say about it :)

If you are loyal to your partner then you dont need to hide anything from him or her; am i right or wrong?

It depends on the mentality of the either partners, some prefer to do some not and they have their own reasons too

Depending on what you want as privacy. Of course privacy is important but if you have nothing to hide then you should not have troubles by allowing them to see your social media n stuff, and if you do hide something whether you are cheating or you have an issue with something you do then you need to imrpvoe your relationship

Why not and why would you not give your other half the right to access your emails? You will think of restrictions when you know you are hiding something. If there is no sensitive things that would affect your relationship in it i believe you will not care sharing it with your spouse. But i believe it will only be an issue if you are hiding something.

I think there is no more need for it if there is enough trust and honesty in a relationship. Yes it would be best if you would know everything about your partner but only if that person is comfortable sharing it with you. I'd rather hear it straight from my spouse.

mostly mentioned justification on the subject matter is respect and trust. we could also think of the possibility of neglecting the integrity of your account.

I think it can be done with a husband or wife, because when married we have to have the same commitment with our partner, trust is the most important thing done, in order to maintain harmony in the family, it feels it is worth doing.

It depends to the both of you on how you handle your relationship. As for me, I think that it is still better to have privacy at times but most of the time, it is also the most common reason why couples misunderstand and have trust issues. If you are not hiding anything and if your partner is demanding for your passwords then why not entrust it?

It actually depends on their agreement. Some keep their privacy even after getting married. It's okay if your partner knows your private social media account or email as long as they will not deliberately use it or even answer messages on their own accord. They can access it just to check and feel secured of their partners.

I believe yes. Once we enter an open relationship with our partner, we shouldn't hide anything. I think it is just fine to entrust our passwords to them as long as we are not hiding anything and to avoid fights because of it. It is just fine to entrust it with the person we love as long as it doesn't affect the relationship in a negative way.

absolutely no unless both of them want to do that

Understanding your partner’s boundaries is the first step to respecting them. It can be difficult to make the choice to respect your partner’s boundaries when their boundaries don’t match up with whatever it is that you want, but that doesn’t make respecting their boundaries any less important.

"........and the two shall become one flesh". If you call her/him the bone of your bones and the flesh of your flesh,  then there is nothing you both cannot share. I have told myself repeatedly that anything I can show my wife everything.

Yes! Because if your partner dont want to access his/her account then he/she has doing something that your partner dont want you to know. Like me my wife know my email and password of my facebook account because i dont want her to think that i have someone else. Also my wife give her account to me, because we want that we are open to each other, we dont want to think that we are doing something wrong, thats how relationship work.

Privacy is a sign of respect and trust, I'm not inclined to give in to the idea that being married or having labelled
as partners would justify the fact that privacy should be transparent and accessible to both. It's not a trust issue
rather a personal one, reasons like one shouldn't hide stuff and things from one another is a sham, that causes
problems and insecurities however one may put it. Privacy is one's solitude. It's solemn and healthy in some aspects.  
It might work with others for who knows how long but for some it just simply won't fit.
If you trust and love one another then you should know how important privacy is with each and everyone.
But if your the type that's open to the idea of open access to everything, I respect that and I wish you luck.

You can't compare your girlfriend with your wife. Girlfriend has a lot of limitations. your wife can know some private things but not like Access to your mails and accounts, she might delete or start asking something confidential which you can't afford to share.... Just don't let that happen and you both will live happy.

It would really depend on the owner of the said social media account or email. If they want to let their loved ones in their account then well and good. If not, then those loved ones shouldn't feel bad even if they're their spouse. It's not a matter of getting caught cheating, but more along the lines of privacy. Even if you're married or kiving together with someone for a long time, you're still enttled to you privacy. And of course, at the cornerstone of every relationship is trust.

If both parties agreed to access personal social media account, then why not.

It is very clear that there are pro and anti regarding to this topic but do you think being pro or being anti can tell that one of you is in the wrong side? Well in my opinion both are right and no reason to argue. Because if you are legalistic then technically you will not surrender your privacy. And if you are a kind of a person that your partner should be involve with your privacy to show your love then their is no problem also. What is the best thing that must not absence is your respect to each other.

Why not. If you are transparent with each other,  its no big deal sharing your personal account with social media. Being transparent to your husband or wife will build trust  with each other. It only proves that you are loyal to him. For me this will help build a relationship stronger and long lasting.

Is not the best.. To avoid trouble

I dont see anything wrong if your husband or wife can access to your social media account. If you are not hiding anything,  you have nothing to worry. This only proves that you can be trusted. Honesty start from a very small thing. If you do not allow your wife to open your account,  therw must be something on that account. Quarrel will began and she will be suspicious to you.

I think in our family and personal life there should be those areas where the spouse though has access, but should not use it. You should not strangle your loved one with excessive control, otherwise it can lead to rejection and irritation. Each person should have a personal zone where he feels comfortable alone.

It all depends on the partners' preferences. In my case, I am very much open when it comes to my social media accounts, my husband knows my password. We have the same password in Almost every acounts that we have including phone passkey. It alk goes down to how much you trust your partner.
In my opinion, why would you want privacy over social media or anything if you are not hiding anything, i guess, if one can tolerate this, sooner or later it can be an avenue for cheating. Just my two cents.

 It's such a red flag if there's something you're concerned about your partner seeing. That means there's some fundamental issue with your relationship beyond privacy.

Once you get married, there would be no privacy boundaries anymore. You need to accept the fact that you and your partner should be mutualy knowledgeable of anything about yourselves, that would include your social media accounts.

If you're hiding something this would be difficult for you to understand.

That is for each individual couple to decide. There's no singular answer to this.

As individuals, we all have different needs for privacy. Some people have higher needs, some people have lower needs. My wife doesn't understand why I close the bathroom door to pee... I don't understand why she thinks it's odd that I do.

When it comes to access to each other's email, it's important that each partner is allowed to establish their own boundaries, and to talk to each other about those boundaries. Some people make the assumption that if you don't want your spouse looking at your email, you must be doing something you shouldn't.... personally, that line of reasoning doesn't fly with me. This isn't a place where you can demand one partner conforms to the other... saying "I'll let you look at mine" doesn't give you a right to demand to look at theirs. Some people just have different boundaries on their life / privacy.

Some of us just like to close the door.

Never! :D I value personal privacy a lot. Especially since I'm introverted. I can't spend all my time with people, I need time alone. And that means I need my privacy to live and breathe. But from a more philosophical standpoint, I still think we shouldn't share everything with our partners and that we ought to have privacy. Same goes for children. Parents usually want to completely control their children, but children need to have privacy as well.

I don't really think that it is big deal,
We don't have something to hide from them so why would we have to ask for privacy with our partner?

This is a very difficult question, I also always thought about it and I think it depends on people, every husband and wife just have to decide between themselves this question.

Yes! Knowing the fact that you are already husband and wife there's nothing to keep already. You shared everything now. And privacy to what? if you are not keeping anything to your partner then exchanging of social accounts will be easy.

What is the point of being husband and wife if you are putting a boundary between each other? So for me privacy is not necessary.

Yes I guess. Because after marriage you both promise to be true and loyal to each other, you also now share to everything and I think giving your social accounts to your partner will never be a problem especially when you are not hiding something.

Nope ,for me Even if you are living together or like married I guess you are still an individual who needs to have a Life outside omyour relationship. Well you have to build trust at the same time bounderies, a very fine line between things wont hurt.

It depends upon the kind of relationship that a couple have. I believe that it is  actually not a big deal to entrust our private keys to our partners. Trust should always be a foundation of a strong relationship. I actually shared my private keys with my partner because through that, I would be able to assure him that I am loyal and that I'm not hiding anything from him.

I think personal data is part of people's private life, but everyone has a will to make decisions; can share social media information with family and friends. But you should pay attention to the privacy of your personal data. Just advice.

yes I agree with you that we are always open with our partner then there will be no conflict in our domestic relationships. I think by giving your social account to this couple will make him more trust in you that you really serious with him.

I think your spouse should have access to everything and all your accounts. I mean you chose to spend the rest of your life with them so might as well trust them with the password to your facebook. Not unless you have someone on the side then that is where the problem would begin. I myself would not demand to have access to my partner's social media account. But if my partner ask me to grant them access to my social media account then i would give it to them no questions asked.
