A few days ago, my husband had the password of his SingPass account resetted. As soon as he saw me, he asked me if I wanted to take down the new password. Nothing unusual since we share our passwords all the time. And I believe this is quite common with couples, married or not, who have been together for a period of time. Proof of intimacy and trust in a relationship if you like it.
As he was giving me his new password, I had this strange thought. Well, sharing is all good and all but, what happens if the couple splits up? Heaven forbids! Because that means both parties would have to reset all their passwords! And can you imagine the number of passwords one would have to reset? Plus the new passwords would have to be something the ex-partner can never figure out. Gosh…it’s blardy troublesome even just the thought of it. Maybe that’s why some prefer to stay together rather than go through such troubles.
Anyway, my husband rolled his eyes when I asked him this. He said I’m crazy to even be thinking about this. And oh, he had to reset his password only because he forgot the old one!
Hehehe…I like your title, funny but I think to some extent it’s true lor…;)
Anyways, i’m never good at remember pw, so hubby is the one who remembers them for me..kekeke…
Eileen: Haha…that’s pretty convenient.

hehe. loved the title. never quite thought of it that way till u say it. quite true. altho me and the boyfriend maintain a privacy rule. we don’t query on individual finances and passwords.
imp: No sharing? Well, actually that’s neat.

We women think too much don’t we? Now we know why fairy tales often don’t go into details after what happens after happily ever after – probably will turn many single women off away from tying the knot
catchfortywinks: Well, more positively, women are unpredictable!

Haha! I would have to give up blogging if we were to ever split up. He’s my web designer and tech support. Could never do it without his help!
AM: Needing and be needed certainly help!

Is it safe to share passwords even with your closest? Gee… you really opened a can of worms here. But I know H has not changed his password for alot of things for more than 10 years now.
DM: Hmmm…never thought about safety cos you tend to associate these things with trust.
