I had a pretty good idea that couples peeked at each others e-mail, call history and texts but who knew women would be the bigger snoops? Excuse me for a minute, I need to have a chat with the wife. :eek:

About 33% of respondents admitted that they've snooped at a partner's email or call history, and that number jumps to 37% for married couples. The same percentage of parents say they poke into their kids' calls or email, and 60% of parents of teenagers admit to doing so. In general, the younger the respondent, the more likely they were to admit to snooping, with the under-25 crowd by far the nosiest. 59% of parents also said they would track their children using GPS technology.

Really?!?! There's a time when you need to let them go out, get lost, and be responsible. We need a new term that goes beyond helicopter parent, as this is even worse.
 
Me and my wife can and do read each other's email accounts whenever we want to. Transparency (meaning no secrets) is great for a marriage. The bad, hard times in our marriage were always about loss of transparency.
 
My wife and I are open about everything. Still trying to talk her into a threesome though. She's a tough nut to crack on that one.

You should write a book on that. Sounds like a money maker.
 
Lotta under-25's now days seem quite insecure and many women are just nosy so it was easy to assume those snooped.

My wife sometimes asks if I'm talking to girls on the internet, joke's on her since I'm a nerd and the only girls I ever communicate with on the net are either in Team Fortress 2 or long-time friends that I communicate with on Facebook.

Most women need gossip to survive and will get it at whatever cost too. Why do you think reality tv is so big, instead of actually doing the gossip they can watch others gossip! Its also the reason why reality tv shows oriented twords men fail all the time, because we know reality tv is boring and a crock of shit.
 
I honestly wouldn't mind, as long as she asked first. My emails are clean. Although, I'm not married...

I'm suprised it's not higher.
Most of the remaining 41% probably don't know what GPS is, or don't care what thier gang-banger kids are doing.
 
Trust in a relationship is a cornerstone of it working. If you feel the need to snoop your spouses email that trust is clearly not there. If there is no trust, your relationship failure is a matter of when not if.

My wife doesn't have the need or desire to snoop my email because she trusts me. The same applies to me. Not that she could if she wanted too given my background in computers. :D However if she ever asked, she is more then welcome. I have nothing to hide.
 
im in the clear.. I have convinced my wife there are no women on the internet..
 
i think its a good sign your wife snoops, it means your relationship is healthy because if shes worried about you cheating on her she doesnt have time to think about cheating on you. lol. The problem is how obsessive this can become for people, checking that email everyday just to ease your mind. Transparency is okay and all but wouldnt that mean you just got a secret email you not telling her about?
 
I've had girlfriends go through my phone and it never bothered me. But when I went through theirs the rage monster came out. Funny thing is that if I feel like I need to look, something is wrong and I don't need to be in that relationship.

I feel exactly the same. My wife does not though. She checks me and think that I don´t know, its ridiculous.

It's not the kids behavior as much as the serial killer/rapist psychos out there that they're worried about.

I don't need my wife to bitch at me because I just spent $150 on The Old Republic. Being completely open doesn't help all couples, to most it will just make things worse.

Me and my wife are open about everything, if I want to buy a 150 videogame I don't have to tell her because it's my money not hers ;) We have a Joint for bills, Joint for Savings, and then seperate personal accounts.

This is Great and very true.

The more currency you acquire the more women it will bring anyways so you can pick and choose at that point.

This is the ideal setup.

I believe its very important to still keep your own personal accounts when married. If you have to ask your wife to spend your own money you are doing something very WRONG!

Yea sharing a full account with a spouse is setting yourself up for failure. My old man gave me 3 things of advice when I moved out and joined the military.

1. Do not give a woman access to all of your money. (Financial Safety)
2. Do not screw around with women in the military. (RAPE! Career Safety)
3. Trust no damn body. (Personal Safety)

Seems to have worked out well so far, wife was completely ok with the setup we have, why the hell wouldn't she be? If a spouse want's a joint for everything I'd walk away.
 
My wife always asks me if im hooking up with any of the teachers at the college where I work.... And shes being serious.

I tellz her I had to drug her as it was to get her to even go out with me, do you have any idea how hard it would be to do so to someone else in public? SHEESH!
 
No, mine doesn't spy on me. Though with this 27 inch monitor, it's hard to hide things sometimes. :) It's not like I care, really. I'm not doing anything and she's past the paranoid psycho part of the relationship.
