Would you ever?

(I think this has been discussed before)

Share an email with you SO (as your primary/only)?   

Dobie_Mama

Uh, no.  Nor would I share a FB account.  My "why wouldn't you?" answer is "because he'd break it."  My real answer is "Why would you?"  Email is free.  What is the point in having just one account?

No. We wouldn't be able to shop for each other and have a secret of what they're getting. DH and I usually do gift shopping online for the special gift. So I wouldn't in that respect. Plus, I've seen dh's email from having to check it when he's away for his student loans and whatnot. His one buddy loves sending him porn and while I don't mind some porn this friend finds weird fetish stuff that is not amusing.

Never! I think that's a bit silly when people do that. Unless they are older, or maybe not so computer literate. 

 

Also, his primary is a work email. He's a graphic designer and doesn't like to be on the computer outside of work. Also, my inbox and desktop are always clean and tidy and organized and as empty as possible at all times. haha He is.. the exact opposite. Digital slob, is what I call him.

 

We do know each others' passwords for everything, though. We'll sometimes check each others' email if that person is on the computer and the other just needs a quick bit of info, or something..

I don't really see the point. But it is out of the question for us. DH works from his computer and gets about a million emails a day. My emails consist of conformations from things I buy. Daily recipes. other lame Etc. stuff.

If we didn't both already have FB we might share a FB. The only reason I even get on is to AW DS. But we both already have one so no point. 

CABunny

No way.  He gets way too much junk mail & I'd be irritated at having to filter through his to get to mine.

We do know each other's passwords though b/c we've had to access each other's emails at various times.  Well, he's probably forgot mine but I would tell it again if he asked.

We would if we had to pay for an email. There is no point to sharing one though. I guess if we had a business we would both use the same one to keep things simple.

peachypear

We totally would if we didn't already have emails. Honestly, it'd be a lot easier, since we're basically always forwarding emails to each other. We'd be guarenteed to see evites, hotel confirmations, etc.

We share the same mailbox. I don't really see the big issue. My email isn't so personal that I wouldn't share it with him. I manage to get gifts sent to the house without him knowing, so I'm sure I could do the same with confirmation emails.

papie

We have a shared one that we use with family, mainly MIL.  Otherwise we each have our own.  

shaunna&chad

We pretty much share one.  I can understand why it wouldn't work for some,  but it's not an issue for us.  I guess we are weirdos, and really just share everything. 

papagena

No - we'd drive each other crazy.  We both have access to each other's e-mails (just has happened over the years at some point) and occasionally one or the other will go in each others - usually for an amazon thing that always gets sent to me regardless of the fact that DH does it or me looking for some password I think he'd have.  Our inbox care taking styles are MUCH different, though, and I'd worry that he'd sorted my e-mails somewhere and I wouldn't see them, plus he'd have a conniption fit over my 80 unread messages...  and then we'd have to start dividing everything in the divorce...

pixy_stix

No.  He gets too much spam.

blissfully_caffeinated

He!! no. We are two separate people. If we ever somehow become conjoined then sure, why not. Until then we'll keep our own accounts. That's not to say that I wouldn't let him read my e-mail or whatever.
