"Should social media passwords be known by your partner?"
Hello read cash fam! How's your day? To all my fellow Filipinos, I hope you vote wisely. Hoping the best candidate will win and one who is gonna lose will accept it wholeheartedly.
Couldn't think of a topic to write about as my head was aching due to lack of sleep and from crying last night. Sometimes this is why I don't like having long weekends as I would always stay up late at night. Since I am an early riser I would always end up lacking sleep. Oh I was crying last night not because I have a problem but only because of the novel I am reading.. Hahaha, that' s one of my weird attitudes. How about you? Do you cry too when reading or watching a movie?
If yes, High five. That makes us two!
That is not my today's topic but before I start let me ask first. Who is in a relationship or has been in a relationship? Why? Perhaps you have seen my title and you might not relate to the topic. Though maybe you can give your opinion for the future.
Should social media passwords be known by your partner?
For the past years, since social media already exists, not only once I heard complaints from everyone about sharing of passwords. Others say, we should not too as it was an invasion of privacy but others oppose it. Why? They believe that if their partner is not hiding something, not cheating then they should share their password. Whatever would be our decision we need to always think about it. As I have said in my previous article, " Sharing is caring, yet not all the time".
Risk of sharing your passwords.
It is common in a relationship that if we wanted to gain more trust we ended up sharing our passwords to our partner. Yet do you know that there was a risk in it?
Yes, it might be okay if you are still together or ended up together. What if not? Not only once I heard someone complain that they could not access their social media account as their Ex's changed the passwords. Ahmm, maybe a sort of revenge? Not only that, who knows your ex might share something about your private life? Worst if they will use your identity in committing something which I think seldom happens. So in the event you had a break up with your partner, change all passwords you shared with to avoid problems.
Advantage of sharing your password.
If there are risks, of course there are advantages. Don't they say prevention is better than cure? That is applicable in health issues but what about is the relationship" haha I am not sure actually. Maybe, guarding what yours is better? Lol! If you have access to your partner's accounts you can easily send him/her messages or talk too. So if you think there is someone who is a "threat", hehe you can take some moves to shoo them.
Not only that, somehow you will have a peace of mind as you are calm by the thought that there is no "CHEATING" in your relationship. Your trust with each other would indeed grow. Right?
What about you? Do you share your passwords?
If you're gonna ask me, I am guilty as I am one of those who bugged their partner to share passwords . Well that was when I was in my early twenties. I can say the immature version. I would check all his socmed, mostly Facebook, messages, activity logs, and posts he commented. Don't laugh at me...I just had trust issues before.
Recently, after we got married, though I know his passwords, I no longer open nor checked his FB. Maybe I felt secure or just mature enough. Besides I believe my partner is old enough to differentiate what are the Don'ts in a relationship. Aside from that, I believe that if someone wanted to cheat no matter how their partner would guard them, they would still find WAY! They could create another account or even buy a new phone for that.
Now, I find peeking on my partner's FB account just a waste of time. His Instagram was even private and we don't follow each other. I understand that he still needs privacy especially as they sometimes had a " boys talk" with his friends in their group chat.
What was your stand about this? I would be glad to read your opinion in my comment section.

If you feel bored and want someone to talk with , you can contact me here. I would surely reply as long as it's not my office hours.
My passwords are just mine. I don't share them with anyone. 😊 Everyone must have their own privacy. It is our free space that needs to be respected. We are free beings, we must have our freedom and privacy.
