Do you think that you should give up your privacy when in a relationship?

I don't hide things, but my husband has never asked to look at my messages or check my email. And I have never done the same to him. If he wanted to look at my email I have no problem with that. I do know his passwords and he knows mine. To me it is no big deal.

Relationships can be a tricky thing. It's the desire of an individual to be part of a partnership without losing one's true identity. To find that happy balance of sharing everything and still being true to yourself is truly a case to case basis. Furthermore, it highly depends on a person's comfort level and how far is he/she willing to be truly known and understood by another human being. Personally, I don't mind sharing everything I have with my partner. The trust that is exhibited will only deepen the relationship. If I have invited him to share my life then that includes all that it encompasses. Also, keeping secrets and lying can drive wedges in a relationship and slowly destroy it, sucking the innocence and purity of the love shared. Honesty, in its pure, unadulterated form, can be a powerful foundation in creating a relationship that can weather any storm.

People say that oh give tehm space but sweetie it starts somewhere and the Biaches do call or tex so it's good to check your business....

privacy is something to be kept and respected.. this is what i know according to the.. is it constitution or simply laws of nature that we call..? being in a relationship doesn't mean that we are already to give it up.. i know there are things to be shared and to be discussed.. but still.. we have something that would always be kept within ourselves only..

We also do not hide anything. We know each other's passwords, my husband even sometimes calls me to check his emails. But we do not usually open each other's emails and cellphones if not needed.. We also give each other the privacy we need

no not really. why would you need too. i guess something you end up knowing out of neccessity sometimes. but why should they need to know. and if they did that would suggest a little insecurity?

..this has never come up.. even after 27 years of marriage.. We trust each other and have space.. I don't think he worries about me online, and I don't worry about him if he stops at the local pub for a brew on the way home from work.. or even if one of us goes to a party without the other, if one doesn't want to go. This usually happens if there are two parties on one night.. otherwise we both usually go together, having mutual long term friends..

I don't give up my privacy with my boyfriends. I never allow them to have my passwords or just go through my messages. How do I know when we break up it won't be used against me you know. Also if we are in a committed relationship he should feel the need to know my password and what the messages say.

NO, he does not have my password. I don't text message so those would not be on my phone. He pays my cell phone bill so he can see who I called if he really cared. I don't have anything to hide though.

Privacy should still be respected even when you're in a relationship. If you trust them and in their sensible judgement then there's no need to indulge yourself in their personal agendas. You'll just end up being a paranoid. I'd let them open up to me freely rather than sulk myself to spying on them.

sharing a privacy to a partner has limitations. like letting your partner to read your messages in your inbox. why should i hide when i don't do monkey businesses. though the password on myLot & email, he doesn't mind at all. the past should be shared to one another so we don't get surprise in the future. in a relationship, both parties MUST be honest to each other.

Yes i do and I never think I'm giving up my privacy by doing those things.I'm a person who love and never hide anything to the one I love because I believe that the more you knew each other the more you undertand each other too and therefore the the deaper the love is.

no,never ever should u do that

i think when you are in a relationship you should always keep your space and just do not tell everything to your partner whether it is relevant or not,you should be comfortable of sharing thuings but you should always maintain a distance in every relationship and never allow a person to damage your privacy

There are a few things I have told him on a need to know basis, but I haven't told him none of my passwords or let him use my cellphone or read my messages. My niece gives her passwords to all her boyfriends when she gets one she is 16 but still she has to go to the hassle of changing everything after hte breakup and sometimes he changes the password so she can't get on her stuff. So no I don't give out passwords or really give up my privacy.

I feel one shouldn't give up privacy when in a relationship. As it is important for the person concerned to have his or her own identity so that they can take their own decisions regarding themselves and their personal and professional growth is not hampered. I feel one should have personal space where one can pamper onself essential for relatiosnhip to flourish. I feel one shoudln't be nosy or spy or question or try to dominate other person then relationship is doomed. Cheers:)

If I was going out with someone no I wouldn't give that up until it got very serious,at least not passwords or letting them read all my messages. With my husband it is completely different, he could stand behind me and read what is being written by me and the other person, and has done so, without me getting annoyed. I will share the messages with him anyway. If I am speaking with someone on IM they know that he could be watching so watch what is being said. I have said that he is not around or whatever to let them know that they can be more casual but we will still keep things in a joking manner only. I don't really feel that it is giving up my privacy I feel more like it is sharing all aspects of my life and being a married couple it is kinda like keeping secrets me not allowing him to see it. I have all his passwords as well because I am the one that usually signs him up for the stuff or sets up his account.

My husband doesn't know my password but I can open it for him to read what messages intended for us from my sister and close friends.

hi, it depends mainly on how much I trust that partner, what type of relation it is, how reliable the partner is, and how long our relation is going to last.. and I thinnk any way it's always a good thing to have some privacy left.. not too much trust that you give away your neck,, and not too few that you scare the partner away! be moderate!

Why do we need to? If the relation with the person is strong why do they even need to concern themselves with our private things? Ok maybe i would give just because that relation would mean more to me.
