Should your wife or husband know your seed phrase?

[Broadanbig]

In marriage lies trust and secrecy amongst both parties. It is expected that as husband and wife, both should have knowledge of their most precious time, moments and assets as well. It would be good both parties let each other know about such sensitive information based on agreement and mutual consent as to restricting themselves from frequent access to it as the case maybe. I see no reason why as a husband your wife should not have access to such information. What if you are no more and your family is in dear need, would such asset just go that way without the knowledge of your spouse?.
Nevertheless, these days funny things happen which makes most spouse do not inform themselves about their assets. They prefer it a secret to themselves rather than informing their wife which is not alright and I would not in any ways apportion blame to any of such is the case.

Well sincerely speaking, i'm married and my husband has been open to me in everything and he loves me so much in a way we share everything common. I have my husband ATM cards, also he gave me another cards for just family bills. I mean he always top the card with funds for family needs and whenever i noticed he funds the card i would appreciate  him then, for long i have been noticing my husband around this forum for long and he always seat reading and commenting in this forum and will like, what do you always do here. He would say he is working that i should free him to concentrate to an extent i picked interest and asked him to teach me, after some while he asked me to make an account here which i did but has not thoroughly given me the hint what this forum is all about.

The next thing he said "Have you created the account"? and i said yes, he then said this is a bitcointalk forum where all discussion about bitcoin is being held, i was like bitcoin??
He said yes that i should study things around here whenever i have a spare time to chat online instead i should focused here to read rather than just chat with friends who won't add any meaning to my life. Next after weeks he started teaching me about Privacy, Phrase and private key, the networks configurations and many more, including the common exchange which we knows too well in my country. He said " I would have also shown you my phrase and keys to store in your system but you really need to study about everything before i could show any key.

In summary, my husband would have shown me his details if that i were that routed over here.
He shared everything common with me, and i have all pins to his medias and bank app and ATM cards.

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?

Depends on the wife and husband imo.

The history is full of people got back stabbed by their husbands/wives. Even if you trust somebody very much, people might change. There is no easy way out of this. If you trust your wife/husband, then share your keys. Sometimes it is not even about betrayal... what if your spouse is careless about these stuff? If that's the case, you shouldn't let him/her know your keys.

You know what? Sometimes banks make things a lot easier for everybody... Just my 2 sats.

Getting married to someone simply means you are ready to share everything with that person, you guys now become one, do everything together, in a house where there are plenty rooms but a husband and wife will still share one bedroom, so there shouldn't be any secret, understand each other, and love each other, yes my wife will know my seed phrase, there should be a trust in the marriage,  you guys are partners for life , so there should be no secret, she's my wife and she deserves to know everything I do, what am thinking off and what's on my mind she's supposed to know...same thing to her

This story sounds made up.

It is funny though because there is a kind of ringing way that aspects of it could be true.. and reflective of relationship dynamics, even though it presents as a piece of fiction.

Yes..

And people sometimes get very emotional about aspects of their finances, including but not limited to their bitcoin stashes.  Sometimes they do dumb things, and they may or may not end up disclosing those dumb things or figuring out ways to communicate about those kinds of things.

It is not easy to figure out ways to balance BTC accumulation objectives, BTC maintenance objectives and even liquidations objectives - and becomes even more complicated when involving a second person in such balancing attempts.

Getting married to someone simply means you are ready to share everything with that person, you guys now become one, do everything together, in a house where there are plenty rooms but a husband and wife will still share one bedroom, so there shouldn't be any secret, understand each other, and love each other, yes my wife will know my seed phrase, there should be a trust in the marriage,  you guys are partners for life , so there should be no secret, she's my wife and she deserves to know everything I do, what am thinking off and what's on my mind she's supposed to know...same thing to her

Hopefully, you realize that there are a variety of ways of setting up these kinds of marriage (and relationship) matters, and up until this point, you have chosen a certain way that you believe is working out well for you... a kind of sharing of everything way... but there can be quite a bit of healthiness in regards to individuals having some space and privacy, so in that regard, not everything is in need of being shared in order for couples to still have the potential for very healthy and sustainable relationships.

When we do get married then we do really have those kind of vows and promises to ourselves and legally you do share up on everything since we do have that conjugality but there are people who do really mind off

on having some still that fine line in between his personal choices and things in life despite of getting married.We do have  that principle whether you do trust up your wife completely
or it is much better if you are the ones who do keep it alone and its much better this way or simply you cant trust her up completely 100%.
We do have our own views and feelings in regarding on this one.

It depends on some certain conditions like how long have you been married and how much do you trust your partner. Because you might get divorced tomorrow and go your separate ways and a wicked partner might steal the funds. But I think it's good to tell your wife or husband about your seed phrase or private pin Incase one dies or something happens, the other can have access to the funds.

I think disclosing such sensitive information should not be limited your spouse alone. If you have a kid you trust you can tell him/her about it. Some years ago when I lost my dad it wasn't difficulty for my family to get his money from the bank since I was signatory to his accounts. It saved us the stress and hurdles of getting a dead certificate, going to the court to swear an affidavit, police report and stuffs like that which are to be presented to the bank before the next of kin could claim the money which happens to be me also. So a mother or father could as well entrust such information with their children.

When a wife knows the private keys/seed phrase and she knows how to use it, she possibly misuses it. It is riskier for our investment, especially for a long term investment. However, she is a wife, we should marry someone that we trust very very well. We know how we trust a wife more than other people. So, I don't think nothing wrong to share it to the wife as long as we can trust her and he can understand how to keep it secretly. When we are married, a wife is the closest person in our life. Why we don't trust her? 

[Bobrox]

Every one have perception about sharing seed phrase to their wife, we don't know details about their marriage condition and each husband having their own reason about sharing or not seed phrase to their wife. Based on my personal condition I think thing good ideas keep hidden our cryptocurrency assets from my wife, I have been transparent in with my wife for all condition thing and keep sharing with my seed phrase.

Life and how long our healthy condition unpredictable, we can't know right moment about sharing seed phrase to our wife, if some thing bad happen to us and still keep privacy about seed phrase without any one know how it possibility our asset could withdraw. Still have chance never has each privacy with your wife and sharing each other if you can believe your wife.

if you have chosen a right husband/wife then i don't think this would come your way that misusing will act because both of you respected each other and before acting against funds there will surely a asking of permit because if you have that kind of wife as you said? then better find good one and divorce that non respected wife of yours.

Lucky that i have found my right one , and after knowing my seeds for years now? yet never took single cents as she also knew it is for their future, Her and our children.

[Maximeppler4]

My wife doesn't understand the crypto market, nor how to use the wallet, but I still share with my wife whether my assets have risen or fallen, and the mnemonic also told her, I think there should be no concealment from my lover of.

No, it was not the thing I thought about telling our wife about our keys/seed phrase. We did this for better communication and trust in each other and to tell the risk of misusing the keys and being careless to them it will lead to losing our money. In fact, we did share this because we want our wife to know the do's and don'ts when investing and keeping crypto in our wallets. That is why before making a decision about this we make sure that person (husband or wife) can really be trusted otherwise, we never do that and keep it secrete.

We have to have a backup plan for everything. Tomorrow or the accident may not come first. There should be corresponding countermeasures. Besides, I'm married to my wife, and I won't cheat her a bit.

[eddie.gouws]

I don't think so no. Apart form them being able to steal them there is the quite easy possibility of them losing it or being stolen for them

[Llhxsdr]

I know my wife’s mnemonic, because I brought my wife into the currency circle. If there is any good project, I will recommend it to my wife and we will buy it together. My wife also trusts me very much. We share everything with each other.

This depends on the man's purpose. If it is for himself, then this behavior is quite shameful. If you are worried about your wife accidentally revealing the mnemonic, you can still forgive it. As a family, women have the right to know the status of their assets and investments. The simple way is to memorize the mnemonic words separately. Everyone memorizes six words.

It really depends and how much you trust the partner but for me its yet to happen because I only been in short term relationships and yet to find someone who will share their life with me completely not just only in the positive side so I didn't but I hope many of you shared it with your family atleast a part of your portfolio in case of any emergency happens to us they know they have atleast something to help them financially.

What are you going on about? Have you thought about the possibility that your seed phrase could also be stolen from you or you could very well lose it yourself without any help from your spouse.
If those are your only reasons on why your spouse should not know your seed phrase, then I think those are somewhat stupid reasons. A marriage where the trust or love levels isn’t high enough to reveal your seed phrase to your spouse  isn’t a marriage I would want to be in.

[rodskee]

Will never deny that before , i did not do trust anyone about my crypto holding because I think it is risky and will drive them to become evil because of the opportunity of taking it without traces , but when My brother Died with His Bitcoin ? as no one of us can take the funds because it is buried with Him? I now trust my wife and Mother about my seeds and yes I gave them separately the seeds so if there is something bad happens to me? they need to go together to take the funds and divided it equally .

We have to have a backup plan for everything. Tomorrow or the accident may not come first. There should be corresponding countermeasures. Besides, I'm married to my wife, and I won't cheat her a bit.

so that means She has your seed ? if there is even coin in your wallet now.

I don't think so no. Apart form them being able to steal them there is the quite easy possibility of them losing it or being stolen for them

are you married? don't you trust your wife capacity?

[ZAINmalik75]

I think marriage is the agreement of understanding and trust, if you engaged with any girls you and her will share everything with us, I have no problem to share my portfolio info as well as wallet seeds and phrases but for security reason as my partner may can  damage my trust and can stole my fund because greed is everywhere, so I will choose to share my phrases with my partner if she was loyal with me for a long time and didn't damage my trust. But before I give him phrase I will guide Him how  properly she can use it.
