Do you really need to share your password to your gf/bf (Fb, phone, etc.)?

they say when we are in love we often times do crazy things like tell our girlfriend or boyfriend our password! once upon a time i fell in love and entered a relationship with someone i thought could be trusted that's why when he asked for my password for yahoo i gave it to him but i was wrong and i regretted doing it cause he became my internet stalker

It's not really a requirement for me, neither does he need to know those things because there's nothing to "check-out" there. But if it causes him to question his trust for me, then by all means, I'd give all those to him. I think it depends on the circumstance. It doesn't mean a partner questions we'd immediately equate it to lack of trust. Perhaps there are things that causes him/her to worry. This is also some type of an insecurity. So whenever my significant other goes and shows insecurity, I always make him feel secure. If this "security" comes by him knowing my passwords, then I give it to him. The problem here, I think, is the fact that people tend to value their 'privacy' so much that they no longer care if the other person needs it to be secure. It's like a child wanting to be hugged and then instead of hugging the child, we question their 'need' for a hug. I mean, if you're not hiding anything, then why not just give it? But in no way am I saying that it's a "requirement" for a relationship to work. Have a great mylot experience ahead!

Hi. It could always be a risky affair if one shares his password etc. with his partner of girl friend or boy friend, as the case may be. As one of the users said above that personal means private and it is exclusively meant for the person for whom it is meant. Having a joint account with your partner and sharing its details is different from sharing one's password of emails or an FB account.

Whether you are in a relationship or not, you should not have to share password information unless it is relevant. Even if you love someone, there is no guarantee the relationship will last forever. Sharing very personal information gives them access to privileged information that they could potentially share with someone else. I share bank account information with my spouse because we share a bank account. This is normal. My spouse, however, does not have my Facebook password, nor will they ever! I have theirs, but only because of computer literacy issues --it's need to know, basically, and I NEVER snoop. We all have a right to privacy. If one assumes another is doing something wrong, they probably shouldn't be with that person anyway.

If you are sharing passwords of your bankaccount etc. you are an idiot. Even banks tell you NOT to do so. This has nothing to do with having secrets but with security and the risk to be abused. It's not Always said it will be by your partner but all the info stored on a computer can be used by scammers as well. Also there is nothing wrong with having some privacy. How come mainly men are Always checking out women (gf's/wifes) if it comes to their mail, email, Phone etc but women seldom do that in return or men even tell them it's not of their business? So if you your partner (no matter male or female) is not sharing all the personal info/passwords with you, there is no need to do the same. Doing so has nothing to do with being open, honest or having no secrets.

i think it is not necessary to gave it to your gf/bf for your own privacy, but for me i don't mind if i gave it to my gf as i can still create another social account if i want and i just only give it to stop him keep asking me the same question again and again

I value my privacy and I would not want any one invading it. Not my parents or brothers or boyfriends most especially. Giving your passwords to your partner just to appease their curiosity of what my activities are online isn't really what I would consider as a requirement. I never asked for my boyfriend's passwords. And he does not want to know mine too. I trust him and he trusts me as well enough not to be paranoid and check his accounts whenever I please. I'd like to say though that you knowing his passwords won't guarantee that he won't make another account you do not know. If he v wants to hide things from you you will never know it anyway right? He can always use another account to talk to other people and you are just a fool thinking he isn't using the email. When he had a new account. Heheh

I think there´s no need to do it, I dont think that a password breaks a relationship, is a private part of our lives. you can do whatever you want (cheat on him) and maybe woundt any evidence to comprobe this.

I think that there are things that you should be truthful about to your partner. However, both should allow each other's privacy as well. And I do believe that this should also be what married couples be doing. We are all entitled for our own privacy.

I think my bf totally understand me and we don't share this and this is little private.We can indeed share a lot in a relationship but it's not necessary for everything you've got.We need to leave some space for the one and it's ok to do that i suppose.

I think its not a good idea to share your password to your bf/gf. My bf knows my password and every time someone sends me a message, he is asking who is He? who is She?? And sometimes he got upset when we read something. I don't know he's password, I don't ask him.

Sharing passwords, account numbers and every other information that should remain private is not a sign of love. Having no secrets between a couple does not mean to extent of giving away crucial passwords to email and social networking accounts since there are many relationships that do no longer last forever. Having no secrets means letting each other know about the past if and when the partner is interested. I have never shared passwords or account info with my partner since in the first place, he has never asked for it. We have too much respect for one another.

Well, I think it depends. It's not right though if you're not that long enough in a relationship. Try to get to know the person so well first.

Not necessary unless you actually need to access their account for their purpose. Why compromise privacy in relationship??

I did this one time with a love one but its hard to give it to them coz they always asked questions why you do this or that or everything i do has a restrictions. Vice versa he also give his password to me. But the more fact that i feel jealous in all what he did most especially in his chatting with other girls. Its shows of our love if we trust our password to them but i feel it is not good. It is better to have privacy more than anything on facebook or online. There are other ways of showing our love to them not only for giving the password. Lets enjoy our life...

Hello there markIT, you have a nice topic.My say to that is that relationship is based on trust and then your love for each other.If you truly love your partner you should trust them with all your heart.In regards with your question about giving out passwords of your social networks to your loved ones well I guess it depends on the both of you.If you both agreed to exchange passwords so that you can log in in his account I think there is nothing wrong with that.I don't think it should be one of the requirement if you want to be in a relationship.Even couples need time and space from each other to bring back the excitement and curiosity in their relationship without it, it will be a boring relationship.

I do not feel that it is wrong to share or not to share with a person that you trust your pass word.After all the whole point of a relationship should also be based upon trust.Mind you I do not know my husbands pass word and he do not know mine, lol.

No, we should not share password of our account since it is no the way to show the love. Each person has privacy things and we should respect it. I have no idea to betray or hide a bf but I never give my password of my accounts to him. And for sure I never ask him to give me password of his accounts also.

Hii... According to me there no need to share eachothers passwords because if we trurt eachother then why do we need to do such things. Even if one is in relationship he/she has some privacy. What will get if we share such passwords?? This will lead to nothing but fights

First of all, your account is personal. And what personal means is that its exclusively for you. Its requires privacy. You might not believe it but asking someone for his password is a form of abuse. Even if she's your girlfriend, its not polite to ask for it. This is not an issue of trust. This is an issue of respect. In fact, facebook has an option to report if someone has access to your acount other than you. And that includes your girlfriend. Respect, trust, and love are the fundamental requirements in a relationship, not your facebook password.
