As a good wife, do we have to say anything against our husbands. Including password and user name an email, or sites that we follow? Are our husbands have the right to open our emails? How about you?

I don't think marriage takes away our rights to privacy. A spouse shouldn't snoop in their partner's emails, social-networking accounts, phones, or personal belongings. A healthy relationship has trust. If one member of the relationship feels they have a legitimate reason for wanting to look through their partner's stuff, they should have the decency to ask. If they are denied, they should just deal with that. It's controlling and disrespectful in my opinion.

I strongly agree with you. I sometimes also want to have privacy, although the husband and wife.

i dont know about it.i think it depends on how you and your husband talkings. so if you and your husband think it about your privacy and no one can break the privacy, so dont do it

As a good wife, you support your husband, but yeah if he needs to be told you tell him! My hubby and I have a great relationship, because we are open and honest with each other. He is the perfect man for me, but he is not perfect. We are not Stepford wives, so speak up. My hubby knows my username and password for my email, because he was being a wonderful hubby and set it up for me. He was going to let me put it in, but I don't need to keep that from him. There is nothing in my email that he shouldn't see, well, except sometimes around Christmas or special occassions when I am getting him a gift. My husband doesn't have the right to open my email, but I have told him if he needs to that he can. I don't think it's a right, but I think what am I trying to hide? We usually ask the other if we can use their computer, or email. It is their right to privacy that we are trying to respect. He doesn't go in my purse or dresser without my permission, although if he needed to he knows he can. It is the same with his things. I can, but only do so if necessary and usually try to tell him first.

but don't you think that it's not about whether or not you have something to hide or not. I have nothing to hide, and because my husband trusts me, he doesn't expect to pry into my private emails, as if he did it would suggest that he doesn't trust me and believes I am hiding something. I have nothing to hide, so he has no right to spy on me.

I don't really think that husband has the rights to open wife's e-mail account or something like that,although I am a man. I won't open my wife's e-mail account.

you are a man who had great respect for your wife. I am sure, you have great respect for your wife too, because you have given your wife's trust.

Hi everyone, im new here but wife story interest me. I would say that me and my husband have a great relationship. Were honest and respect each other that much. Before we got married we got emails on our own.. but he was the one who actually open up everything to me..he gave me his passwords for his emails. I'm not the one who would sneak out to your emails but i realized that hes that honest to give me that. When we got married we decided to delete our personal emails and make one email for both of us- for junk emails.. but online promos, etc. One for our personal needs like facebook..you tube etc. We only got separate emails for profession use only like for applying jobs and the like. I think its more fun and you feel secured that way not thinking, who's emailing him or some sort of stuff. Bottom line.Honesty, Respest, Love and Trust are the most essential part of marriage life. Without these..marriage will not be successful.

yes you are right, it should be required. But if my household may be like that. seems very difficult.

definitely not. some husbands and wives may choose to allow their partners to read their email or phone messages, but no one should ever expect to be allowed to. I get annoyed if he looks at my screen while I'm using the computer, and wouldn't be nosy about what sites he's browsing. emails are private. if a husband EXPECTS to be allowed to read them, he is a controlling bully.

it all depends on how or what is your relationship. we all know that we have what we call personal belongings and property. if you and your husband has something like that then its okay of he does not know whats your user name and passwords. though in our marriage my wife knows all my email address and passwords, username and passwords, and i know hers too. i read her cellphone messages and she reads mine though i really dont have messages and her cell phone is always noisy har har har.

indeed very convenient if there were no secrets between husband and wife, I never opened my husband's cell phone. Because I respect the privacy of my husband, I believe with my husband, I want to be someone who can be trusted by my husband. Although my husband had to disappoint me, I believe with my husband.

It's much better if you'll let your husband access your emails. That way, he can be sure that you are not hiding anything.
