Marital Question
Is it ever ok to read your spouse’s email? What if that email is downloaded onto a computer that you both share? Is it acceptable to download the email and read it? Why or why not?

In me and my hubby’s case, it’s OK for us to read each other’s emails and text messages. I even request him to do check my mails sometimes when I am busy taking care of our daughter. I think it’s not an issue as long as you both are open for each other and not hiding anything.
I know that I can read his email any time I want, just like he knows he could read mine. I think it’s a trust thing. As far as I know, he has never read mine, and I only read his when he is too lazy to get up and wants me to read it to him.
I would. Anything shared computer is fair game. But that’s just me, and I’ve always been nosy!
I think in each relationship the terms should be set. What may be okay with one couple, may not be okay for another. I don’t see any problems with it.
it can be hurtful…but also positive in forcing a topic to be discussed that might not have otherwise.
I agree with Petula; each couple has different boundaries.
Discuss in advance whether your spouse wants you looking at his e-mail, then you’ll know if it’s ok or not.
If you read it without his knowing, that seems like an invasion of privacy.
Just my opinion.
In our case we share everything. We have our own email account but any of us can check each others email. We don’t need each other approval to go in it, it’s already expected as a couple.
