My wife and I have share an e-mail account. We are a bit old-fashioned….we share everything…bank accounts, included. No secrets. Admittedly, I am on e-mail most of the time and I print off e-mails for her. While I realize that the same solution does not work for everybody, for us, since we share everything else, I don’t see why an e-mail account should be any different. Just my penny’s worth.

Simple. If you share EVERYTHING with your spouse, you COMPLETELY LOOSE YOUR INDIVIDUAL IDENTITY! Couples MUST have DIFFERENT interests, as well as DIFFERENT friends. One must get out and experience the World. Just because you each have a separate email address does not mean you are trying to hide anything. If one of you feels that way –there must be a reason WHY you would! Trust is a HUGE issue. If it is a self esteem issue, even worse! My husband and I each have common friends, and separate/professional friends. We socialize with all of them, sometimes together, sometimes separate. We TOTALLY trust the other. One does not need a separate email of separate friends to “fool aroundâ€. You cannot live in a box as it were. When you get to the point of agreeing just for the sake of agreeing and NOT to argue – that is when the problem starts. NOBODY gets along 24/7, and if one does NOT have different interests, and friends you wither and die. Only in FANTASY and in FAIRY TALES everyone lives happily ever after. NOT IN THE REAL WORLD. One is naïve to think otherwise. But what do I know, I only do this for a living. Just my 2 cents.

Here’s my take. I prefer having a “joint” email acct because I don’t read it. My wife tells me the important stuff that we got and I don’t have to wade through the rest of it. It’s mostly for her anyway!
