If your in a healthy relationship, trust one another and no suspicions. Is it still considered and invasion of privacy if the other party checks your phone or email? Last relationship I was in was going well, I had nothing to hide nor was I doing anything wrong. But she asked for my email password and I caught her looking through my phone on occassion. Was I wrong in saying no about the password? What ever happended to trust?

No, you were not wrong. If a person isn't doing anything wrong and has nothing to hide... that still does not entitle anyone to private things. You were right to withhold your password and to be upset over her looking through your phone. The reason for this is because the suspicious person usually has something to hide. If she did not trust you then perhaps she was untrustworthy.

Just a matter of preference or what you're comfortable with I guess. I personally wouldn't give out my email or any other password until she's my wife. Even then what do I need to know that for? Hers I mean... If we're in a healthy relationship I don't have anything to worry about right?

Besides, you need some ways of communicating with people she doesn't know about to plan the surprise birthday parties. bigsmile

there should always been some part of you that remains you, separate and true to form

just because you're committed to another person doesn't mean you give up your own self, your friends, and most certainly your right to privacy

i once had a journal and was married at the time and he felt it was his right to read my journal
there was nothing in there that was untrustworthy
the thing was, those were my private thoughts and i didn't want to share those thoughts with him. if i had wanted to share those thoughts with him, then i would have.

but then this brings me to an even larger question and disputes everything i just said. i didn't indeed love him, for if i did, i would have shared myself with him 100%. i long for a relationship where i can share all of me with all of another. that being said, i wouldn't want to keep anything from that person if i truly loved him.

i guess if you don't feel comfortable enough with the person to share those things, they should not expect it of you.
