do you open SO's mail?

AmandaP678 · July 2012

or do you wait until he opens it to find out it is?

AmandaP678 · July 2012

For me, it depends on my mood and how interesting the envelope looks lol

This! If it is something stupid, no, but if I am being nosy I will.

No way! I learned my lesson on Mother's Day when I opened an interesting big envelope that contained a *surprise* photo book of me and DS that he made for me. He got SO mad at me for ruining the surprise. : / oops!

I know that won't ever be an issue here. We are talking about my husband who used my Amazon Prime to order my Christmas present which meant I got the confirmation email lol

Same here, but usually I don't even open my own mail. H on the other hand is so nosy, he will open everything, even junk mail that comes for me.

I ask first. But one time he got super pissy. It was very funny. It was some ad for US Cellular and I thought it was for me. I told him when he got home and he practically turned red. Dude...you mad? About junk mail?

damabo80 · July 2012

Depends on what it is/who it's from.

Packages, no. Insurance/financial stuff, yes, because I handle that crap.

Personal letters, no, unless it looks like an invitation, then yes, because otherwise he won't RSVP and it will get lost in the shuffle. Much easier for me to tell him he's been invited and write it on the master calendar.

Junk mail, yes, because otherwise he'll let it pile up on the kitchen counter for months.

This exactly!

I open all the mail and pay all the bills so I open almost everything. If it looks like a birthday card or its a package I usually leave it for him.

Our mailbox is mostly filled with junk mail anyway no matter whose name is on the envelope. My H isn't a big privacy guy so he doesn't care if I open his mail. But I'll leave special things like cards for him to open.

Yep. I handle the house bills and the farm stuff. Most of that stuff comes addressed to him. He doesn't have time for mail usually, so if I didn't open it it'd never get done.

I obviously save birthday cards, fun packages etc. for him.

Little&BigPea · July 2012

Depends on what kind of mail it is. Since I work full time and pay our bills 90% of our mail is in my name. A few things like our cell phone and student loans are in his name. I just take and open those. If it is a personal letter, a card, etc I wait and let him open it. It's his business, not mine.

Leinistar · July 2012

I open it becasue he always forgets or loses them and we've had some incidents of this causing us lots of unnecessary issues (forgotten toll payments leading to tickets leading to almost $300 to get his license back!)
