| The dangers of over sharing I have always believed that partners should never invade each other's personal space. I have a couple of friends who gad this conflict of having their partners invade their personal space from switching cellphones to using each other's personal social networking websites. The funny thing is that they are only boyfriends and girlfriends, so the certainty that they would end up in holy matrimony is not that clear. A girl or a boy can't help if their classmates send them various messages, and this could result into conflict, especially if the partner is the insecure type.Not unless you allow it, I would never advise to share you personal information with your boyfriend or girlfriend. I have seen lots of it, after the break up, an angry partner usually gets back by ruining one's account and image in social networking sites. |
| "It Depends on the Partners"
As you already said it, that is what you believed. Not would have the same thinking as you have. Especially if partners tend to be so comfortable with each other, sharing stuffs like phones and 'social networking sites' would never ever be a problem. But you surely have a point there. Privacy and respect on each other's personal space are indeed important. But at the end of the day, partners would always have their own preference on this matter, no matter how inappropriate people look at it. |
| "Depends on the case"
Although I respect your opinion about it. This is really depends on what a couple prefer. I know this girlfriend who would tell her boyfriend everything, and when I say everything I mean everything. Even the things that her partner shouldn't know like if she meets up with old friends, stay late, or spent time with her girl friends. Yes, they would argue but it somehow helped their relationship stay stronger by being honest and vocal with each other. |
| "Privacy And Relationships "
Why can't her partner know about that? If there is nothing fishy going on then there is nothing wrong with letting your partner what you do. I do believe that there should be privacy in any kind of relationships, but does not mean that they shouldn't know about the stuffs they are doing. As long as both parties are not guilty of something, I see nothing wrong with partners sharing information with each other. |
| "It is better to have their own private spaces"
What is so wrong by going out with friends? Oh, I get it. If that partner of his/hers is the jealous type then that would really be the problem. I for one am not the type who would meddle with the affairs of my partner. I trust her completely and she knows that. She also know that once my trust has been broken, it would never be the same. I live with that principle, so I live by it. That's why I would never do anything to break that trust she also gave me.It's good to have privacy even in couples. |
| "Honesty is the best policy"
Although I am not the type who would meddle with my wife's social networking account, sharing accounts is alright for me. As what most people say, honesty is the best policy and if you have nothing to hide then switching phones or sharing passwords for various social networks is a no-brainer.I haven't really consider this aspect as I trust my wife and she has also had one on me. I would never break that precious trust. It's one of the best foundations of a successful marriage. |
