Sharing your phone password with your partner isn't an act of trust and transparency it's disgusting, amirite?

My SO knows my password and I know hers. If her phone is closer and I need to use it, I'm going to use it. Same for her.

I share my phone password with my husband so he can also use my phone if he needs to since he has adhd and forgets to charge his a lot. I think there is a difference between sharing your password with your spouse/SO and letting them go through all your personal messages with friends. He respects and trusts me, he wouldn't use it to invade their privacy.

So when I'm driving an my SO wants to change the Spotify song I should take my eyes of the road to enter my password? Or is it easier and safer if she knows my password? If you can't give your partner your password and trust them to not abuse having that privilege, be with someone else. I couldn't imagine looking through my partners messages with her friends.

You know when you trust someone and give your password, you also trust this person to respect privacy and don't go through all your text without permission

This is a bit of a one-sided opinion on an issue that is often situational, don't you think? For example, it's reasonable to ask a spouse with a history of infidelity for the password to their phone.

>all of your friends who have their business and photos in your phone Why are your photos and your business in my phone? My husband has access to my phone precisely because I know that he isn't going through texts with my friends. He isn't looking at their personal information or any pictures that he sent me. He grabs my phone if he sees that someone is calling and I'm not there to answer right away. Or if he wants to snap a picture and my phone is closer. As far as justifications for not sharing your password with your partner, this is a really, *really* weak one.

Passwords? Sorry, I've been married for 7 years, the only context that word has is when Hulu doesn't let us in and we can't remember it.

The obvious conclusion is that some people don't trust their partners to NOT go through their phone. Just because I have my SO's password doesn't mean I'm going to go through it. I use what I need and move on.

I definitely don't trust my friend's partner with my stuff and why should i?At the end of the day he might be the love of her life but he's just another guy for me

Why do you keep porn on your phone like that? Sounds like an unhealthy relationship with your addiction and or your partner.

>Sharing your phone password with your partner isn't an act of trust and transparency it's ***a necessary hedge in case of emergency so they can contact your other friends and family.*** FTFY

So why not just give them the numbers of your other friends and family instead of unlimited access to their private convos with you?

I see the "if you haven't done anything wrong you have nothing to worry about" crowd is out in full force. Startlingly naive.

Your framing is ludicrous on its face. I don't give my wife the pin for my phone, nor do I have hers, because we trust one another. I agree that your partner has no automatic right to your privacy, but to pretend it's about "protecting the privacy of your friends" is dumb. You're dating someone who doesn't trust you. If they want to rifle through your phone, they want to find something incriminating. Just end the relationship.

"Trust, but verify." Best advice I have ever received.

Disgusting is an odd word yo use in this context. I understand not sharing your password but at the same time, what are you hiding?

some people still value privacy in a relationship. i don't have to be comfortable with the possibility of them accidentally seeing an embarrassing google search about a private health concern, or my notes that i use as a personal diary. i have a lot of weird videos on my phones of my talking to myself, those things are personal

Trust and transparency is good. I guess when I give them my password, I am trusting them to not go through my messages with friends. I don't do that on their phone.
