How do you feel about sharing all your mail accounts/ids/passwords,etc with your partner? Do you keep some things to yourself? Do they check how much you get online and who you chat with/or are friends with. How about friends , does your partner know all your friends online and offline , and all your blogs/forum posts etc your activities online? Do you feel comfortable sharing all your mind and personal stuff?
Thats true, even I wont be online hoping to meet someone, but I am speaking about just sharing our minds/writing views etc which partner might find its weird or different and then get into some argument etc etc. BUT I DIDNT MEAN CHEATING ONLINE
No Angelana.....my partner wouldn't be privy to any of that information. NOT because I have anything to hide, but because I've been spied on and bugged before by my ex husband and I know how it feels to be violated. I do what I have to do to maintain my privacy, somethings are open for sharing but personal things like that no way. As for the threads and blogs here...anyone can read what we post, they don't even have to be a member...all they have to do is come here and click on the "forums" tab and BINGO...it's free fodder for anyone who has a computer.
As for sharing mind and personal stuff..depends on what it is...everyone has personal things that should remain just that, personal.
I was married for over 20 years.. only kept one thing from him/to myself the whole time.. Which was that I didn't think his brother was going to do any better on life support. His brother "may God rest his soul" didn't do any better..
When things are hidden you will eventually have to cover your tracks to hide what it was or is that you were hiding to begin with.. So it's best to never hide anything..
A wonderful lady behind that id, who I hear from often. Thanks for posting Yes I agree, somethings should just be kept personal, applies to both the partners
Thanks honey...always glad to post on your threads..I hope this thread isn't relative to that man you've been tentatively speaking about..if it is..you and I need to seriously exchange some emails...I think the world of you two!
Some things cant be said, cuz speaking can also bring chaos, and silence is golden many times, its wiser. And about passwords, I feel hesitant because I have habit of keeping all my mails, and I dont delete anything, so I dont want my partner to dig up my past and argue things based on what is non existent
This is just a general dicussion but I have habit of relating, cuz subconciously I keep thinking about one person and revolve some queries around that, but I also try to keep my mind and heart open and see myself as I AM and not someone who wants me to be someone else
honesty and disclosure, are 2 different issues, and if they your partner you should be able to say politely "none of your business" "doesn't concern you" and it should be accepted simply as that.
Good thread; I just tried to keep away from it becoz I am not sure about what will I do....but I think it works both way..if you have full faith in your partner then there is no harm in sharing these things; but then why will you share? this is also a valid question...if your partner is kind of possesive and is uncomfortable about the idea of you having friends online then I think the final step would be to share the things if everything fails.... As far as blogs are concerned they are for everyone and so no privacy in that anyone can access them unless they are public blogs....
But in the end there should be no problem in sharing these stuffs if your love require that....
The answer varies on the time you have been with each other.
It to me it is that simple.
The longer you are together the more you are in each others pockets. But for me Pin #s and Extreme personal stuff are only after years of a relationship.
But to get a relationship to last that long you have to be willing to trust and share and communicate.
This reminds me of asking once , about some thing that was trivial for me but for him, it was like sharing some company confidential information, so when I realized, I said its okay, I dont really need to know. Yeah Pins and passwords, only only after years of trust I dunno if I can be that open with my partner dont know yet
