Should your wife or husband know your seed phrase?

[Iroh]

When a man gets married to a woman to become husband and wife, they become one and everyone expects that they can get to share everything with each other. I know of women who have the passwords to their husbands bank cards and they can make withdrawals on his behalf. I will like to ask the Men here if they have shared their seed phrase with their wife's? I will like to ask the women here how they will feel if their husbands refuse telling them their seed phrase?

Sorry to say this is not every wife that's trustworthy, but if you trust your wife sharing you seed phrase with her is nothing by the way the day you took her to the altar both of you become one, automatically your wallet and other assets belongs to you and her

Yeah, it’s not every wife that is trustworthy and not every spouse gives their significant other the details to their bank and access to their funds. Trust is something that is sadly lacking in some of the marriages in our society today and a lot of men I know would not even consider giving their spouses access to their banks or in this case, your seed phase that gives you access to a wallet.
The day a man takes a woman takes a woman to be his wife, it doesn’t automatically give the wife access to everything that’s his. It doesn’t work like that. While some couples would share or give their spouses access to their banks or wallets upon getting married, not every couple do this as it’s a choice and it’s not automatic.

I didn't tell my lover I bought bitcoin, I hid my investment. I told my sister my mnemonic, she is the person I trust the most. I told her both the passphrase and the seed private key in case something happens to me.

I was the victim of a big scam a few days ago. I shared the private key of my wallet with my girlfriend and the private key of my wallet was with my girlfriend. After breaking up with my girlfriend a few days ago, I suddenly woke up in the morning to find that she had taken all the money from my wallet to her wallet. I made a GD in the police station in the name of the ex-girlfriend. I don't know if I will get my money back. I think I will get my money back very easily.

When the bible said in Genesis 2:24 B, "and man shall cleave unto his wife; and they shall be one flesh," The Bible never talks about boyfriends and girlfriends becoming one flesh, which is why one must trade with caution when exposing their seed phrase to a second hand. Perhaps all opinions are different, but my opinion in your case is that sharing your wallet phrase with your girlfriend was a big mistake.


I know that most of the time we love to the extent that we are compelled to do crazy things, but not to the extent that I can share my phrase with my girlfriend. If I am looking for someone to share my phrase with, it would be better to share it with my mom, who has no idea about cryptocurrency. LoL 🤣😆


You should have also moved your asset to a different wallet knowing that you were going to break up with her and that she knew your seed phrase, or perhaps after the breakup you should have moved your asset to a new wallet. I hope you recover your asset with the help of the police; the act of your girlfriend is theft, and she can be arrested and detained by the police.

That's just her way of getting back at you. Just handle the situation with tranquility.

This is my own opinion, but as long as you are legally married in think what belong to you will belong to her as well,. maybe make a safe code wherein she can only sue or she can only open it and use it if you are gone already. of course even  the both of you has the right not to share all the things to each other still there's always a trust, it will be tested in this scenario. You can hide it of course but how long will it be.

If there's a trust behind you will share it with your wife, you don't know or you can't guarantee your life so better to be wise in sharing your code so she will have the same access, whatever happen to you then her and your kids will enjoy all your crypto savings, but yes, it's your right also not to share if you choose that way.

Always be depend from how you take things and how you handle your crypto investment, which includes your safe wallet.

Sorry to say this is not every wife that's trustworthy,

I also want to ask you one thing, if you don't trust her in the first place, why get married? For me, I never accept living in the same house with someone I can't trust, even if it's a friend, let alone a wife. I think we won't know how to face each other if we don't trust each other, if marriage becomes such a hell I'd rather be alone than get married.

My wife has never asked me about bitcoin or other assets I hold because she simply knows that I do it all for my family. I was the one who voluntarily gave all those important things to her, and we feel happy.

Although at the moment I still keep it alone and not married, but of course I will share seed phrases with my wife.
My personal goal of investing in cryptocurrency is of course for my future family, I mean my future wife and childrens.
Of course I would not be selfish to keep my own seed phrases if I already have a wife.
If something happens to me in the future, at least my wife will be able to take my possessions.

But everyone has their own right whether it will share their seed phrase or not.
At least what makes sense to me is that I will share it with my future wife.

I think when it comes to "Candidates" it's definitely a bit riskier. Even though it is currently in the stage of making new ties in the family, the future wife is not a wife before she has a family relationship with you.
I think it's better to wait beforehand if you are going to give it up until you are really sure about having a family because even if you are sure of the choice, there are still several possibilities that will happen. I don't mean to wish anything bad, but when I was still a candidate, I felt that something like this still couldn't be said.

I would definitely tell my wife about the seed phrase of my BTC. Though I am also confident that she will not be able to understand such complexity, telling someone about your savings in the event that something happens to you gives some sort of security for them.

It is like putting all of your resources inside a safe and telling the combination to your partner. It gives them the security to know that you are leaving something in the event that something unexpected happens of you.

Should your wife or husband know your seed phrase? yes some plan is needed in case you drop dead.


My wife has access to two safe deposit boxes with info in them.

[Crypto Library]

If you ask me that question then my answer will be hard to listen cause I think password , private keys or private phrase shouldn't show anothers person whether it is your girlfriend or wife. It's not only about the trust issues it about privacy. But you can keep your important things in some safe box for future. As currently we store gold, silver, diamonds, money etc. in chests or banks, private keys or private phrases should be kept like this.

[Desmong]

This is a difficult question to ask especially when we don't trust our wife. Depending on the settings of the family the wife might not have good idea of the cryptocurrency and how the market works. Even though we tell our wife about our seed phrase they may not know the importance because of lack of knowledge about how the crypto market works.

That's a good way of keeping things secure. We need to understand about the learning one has to have in using the seed phrase. With today's technology it is easy to learn about the seed phrase and other related elements. According to me, it is always good to keep them informed and make them know about it. Only then they'll be able to use it when something unexpected happened in life.

Well, it’s everyone’s choice either to entrust their seed phrase to their husband or wife, or they have to deal it on their own for more security purposes. But either way, security is not assured if one is to act careless and is not responsible of keeping safe his seed phrase. The reason why keeping a seed phrase needs a responsible owner, one that will not expose it nor share it to his love ones, but keep it completely on his own self alone.

I do also have that kind of mindset on which it is much more better if im the one who do keep those privatekeys for the best rather than on letting my wife do know about it and store for herself and i cant really just

make myself that confident nor getting relaxed on this situation which i do know that there are possibilities or probabilities of getting hacked due to improper handling out of those PK's.
Im not making myself that too selfish or hiding up  some secrets but it would really be better this way. They are still the ones who do benefit out
with these things or crypto savings since from the start.

It is also important to consider the risk of telling our husband/wife if they really can be trusted and can manage to keep it secrete as we don't want to compromise the security of our funds. Because a single mistake can never be back again.
Maybe the best thing to do first is to educate them and gives some overview about the risk of losing our keys and passwords. We should emphasize to them how important it was otherwise, both of us will suffer the consequences. If we can see that our partner fully understands about it, I guess that was the perfect time to tell and show him/her all the credentials we have.

Since a marriage is a multi party arrangement, it probably makes sense to use a multisig setup at the very least.

Personally, my wife has a completely different stack than me but I am working through how I should pass my stack on to her in the event that something catastrophic happens to me.

I'm thinking that a sort of cryptographic annuity payment might be best using timelocks or maybe a series of passphrases that I can have a third party send to her on a schedule. I am still working through the details.

Wait, what? You did not trust your wife? In this case, it's not gonna be crypto the first concern here, it is the marriage itself. I mean, why marry her if you don't trust her? And why stay in a marriage if you'd lost your trust towards her?
It is the trust that makes the marriage works perfectly.
Now, if this is your case, you should set aside your crypto wallet seeds first, and fix your marriage lol.

There's a thing called privacy, which still applies in marriage.

Every man can do whatever they want in their life, but my passwords/seed phrases/etc, are all private and only I have access to those.

I find this idea of sharing your password a bit strange to be honest, even the bank tells you that you shouldn't tell anyone your password.

[bounceback]

For me it's okay to give my wife seed phrases because wife is the closest person we choose to live with later when I have my wife will always be open about finances or all the cryptocurrency investment assets that I have to my wife and I also plan to teach him how to use bitcoins properly maybe not everyone will trust his wife so some men decide not to give seed phrases to his wife to keep his investment safe but if a good wife he surely will never betray the trust a husband places on him.

It really depends on what kind of relationship you have with your wife. In today's world it became more common for husband and wife to have separate accounts when it comes to a divorce. Woman make much more money these days and it's not like in the past where the husband always had to provide for the woman. In my country separate estates became very common. In such a case I am not sure if I would like my wife to know the PIN to my bank account or the seed phrase to my wallets. There is of course the problem that something happens  to you and nobody has access to your crypto wallets. It would be sad for all our precious coins to be lost for ever. In my opinion, it would be good to talk about it and let her know where she can find all the important information if she ever needs it.
