[QUOTE="Zyrokin"]I'm not saying you always have to, personal time is needed. But, you should be completely open with your spouse, if you really do want to get married. Not saying that is how you should work you marriage, every person and others are different, but if you start throwing up signs and red flags that someone is breaking that trust, don't be surprised if the other investigates it, and they have every right to within reason.

I understand what you're saying, I just got a sort of feeling from your posts that you should submit all your personal things (I consider my passwords to be the epitome of this) to your spouse. Maybe that was drunkardness getting to me, but eh, 'twas what I felt. Apologies to you. You should be open with your spouse, I agree. However, it shouldn't have to extend to password and what have you, a little faith is needed as well in any relationship. I don't think it should be limited to married couples either: everyone should strive to be open as possible to others, in my own view. But that's an aside, and doesn't really matter.Totally agree, I like being blunt and vague sometimes because I get interesting responses. My personal philosophy is that I give trust whenever I am in a relationship, and only under extreme circumstances would I start to snoop. AKA, I was about to leave the country for a tour with the Air Force a few years back and was at that time in a serious relationship with a woman. We had actually planned on being engaged(was going to propose when I got back, it was only a month tour for that one) and she knew it and was already making plans. A week before I left, she started to spend the night over at other places and wouldn't come home. First it was her friends, then she said her dad had a asthma attack that sent him to the hospital, etc. I didn't see her the whole week after we had spent everyday with each other for years.
So red flags went up and a day before I was scheduled to leave I went searching at her fathers, he never had a asthma attack. Then I went searching at her moms, she too hadn't seen her. Called a couple of her friends, and finally went over to a mutual friend of ours, who was a dude, and found her there. She was cheating, and long story short, I find that it is unreasonable to try and know everything that goes on in your "others" life, and be crazy controlling, but when flags go up that you can't ignore, it is usually because the other person is doing something wrong and you owe it to yourself to try and find out within reason. I don't think snooping through email is that big of a deal, especially because this couple was married. But hey, that is just what my life has taught me.
