My husband wants to swap email passwords in case of emergency. But I don’t want to give mine up. What do I do?
Elvi says: Personal communications are just that, and marriage shouldn’t mean forfeiting passwords any more than solo bathroom privileges. Push back while you assure him that you have nothing to hide. Offer a viable solution- open a joint account/ shared address for bills, joint accounts etc or subscribe to services like Deathswitch.com or Assetlock.net. Both act as a sort of virtual lockbox and open only for people you allow. And tell him - this is not a cover up honey- it’s about trust.
