Giving your FACEBOOK PASSWORD to GF/BF

Philippines
November 28, 2012 8:41am CST
I have lots of friends and acquaintances who encountered problems in their relationships because of giving passwords to their partners. Like when ex-bf send a private message (PM) to GF, and current BF happened to read it since he knew the password. It usually ends up in an argument. That's why for me it's not necessary for you to give your password to your boyfriend/girlfriend. If you really love that person you should have trust in her/him. Having a personal FACEBOOK account without telling your password to your partner doesn't mean that you are going to cheat on him/her. It was like having a cellphone and no one has the right to read your messages without your permission even if he/she is your partner. You should give importance on privacy, respect and trust.

I never give my password of any site to anyone even they are boyfriend or husband. We should not share our password with anyone because some time friends also can do the fraud with us. I think few persons who has husband they also do this with their wife.

Ya, I've heard of that before. It usually happens if the couple had a bad break-up and the other party had so much anger and pain. That's why the moment you break-up with your partner, make sure that you immediately change your passwords and your settings. It is really important because fraud can easily spread through the use of internet.

I gave my bf my facebook password because I needed him to send a message for me once (when I didn't had internet on my phone), but that because I trust him that he will not read my messages and check my account with other occasions. I mean, if you trust somebody you don't interefere with his/her privacy because you know that you will, anyway, wouldn't find something that will upset you. And the interesting things, you already know because the other tells you everything that matters. I think it's sick to demand this kind of things in order to control all the aspects of the life of somebody else. And it's also useless, if you want to cheat, you can find a way anyway. I also don't find the joy in a relationship where is always tension, distrust, doubts.

Very well said. It's a great thing to know that you trust each other. I admire you because you have so much trust in him by giving your password. Sharing your password is not bad for as long as your boyfriend doesn't abuse your trust in him. And as you've told me, he is really someone that you can trust.

We have the same thoughts about that. My husband could be nosy sometimes that he would really be reading messages on my cellphone and even delete some of the numbers in my phonebook. How rude, right? He doesn't allow me to have something only for myself. And he is just teaching me how to hide things from him even if there wasn't anything that I need to hide. Same goes with my Facebook Account. I know that he doesn't want me to be connecting with people. So I never let him know that I have a FAcebook account. But I made a facebook account under both our names so that atleast we could get in touch with some of OUR common friends and his relatives.

I agree with you Myranel because every one should have their own private life, it is not necessary to give our passwords to any one, even if he/she is our life partner. Because there are many interests for us, which we can't say to any one, our conversations are with one meaning, the third person who reads it may understand with other meaning, so better not to give your passwords, asking the passwords of your partner is also not correct.

Yes, I do agree with you. But its not safe to tell your passwords even to your best ones coz you don't know on which computer will he/ she use it. If that computer is hacked, your account is gone as well...

I don't think I would give him my password, it's not that I don't trust him, but I just don't think there is any reason why he needs it. And you might break up, and even though I don't think my boyfriend would be the kind of person to do anything like that, but he could log into your account and read everything. I just don't think your boyfriend would need your password, he doesn't need to log in to your account, not to check your messages, not to post anything or whatever.

I think that we should always take care with any kinds of passwords. these are private tools that should not be passed happily around. sharing this information could be vital and turn on you when you least expect it.

I wouldn't give my password to anyone. I do trust my boyfriend, but there are some things that should be private. And of course, if you know a password, there's the temptation to read all the messages (like when my brother read all my MSN messages when he found them in a library in my computer)...

For me I dont give my password because somehow your partner has to trust you and giving him/her a privacy can show them u really trust them

Hi Friend, I agree with you. I don't like the idea of snooping and checking you partner's facebook account. It shows the level of trust you have with your partner. If you keep on checking their facebook accounts and cellphones then it means you don't trust your partner. It will not really cause any good if we do that. I don't like my boyfriend checking my phone and facebook account since I feel he don't trust me. So I don't want to do the same thing with my partner because I trust him enough.

personally for me, i don't think that is necessary for us to give that such information in your are still new in the relationship. what so ever is it, it still our privacy i think. so they cannot he angry if we don't want to share it. just certain private info we just cannot share to other except there is no other choice.

i don`t have any thing sees wrong in giving password to your partner.. it was never an issue for me.. if you are not hiding anything.. without a second thought you will give your password to your partner.. it`s not all about trust it`s making your partner secured about your relationship..

This is very interesting. I have been with my girlfriend for almost 7 years. she went through a rough relationship with her ex. found out he was cheating on her on facebook and other sites. so through the whole 7 years of our relationship she has insisted that she knew my email, facebook passwords and got really upset if i didn't give it to her which then resulted in me canceling all accounts and losing all contact with friends and family. i have never given her any reason to think i was cheating. i recently got a new email and facebook and yet again she wants to know passwords. what i dont understand is why she needs it other then to snoop.. the only thing that comes out of snooping is negative. i think everybody needs a little privacy and that should be respected. i feel like she will never trust me. what do i do?
