No. I couldn't buy him gifts online if we shared an email address!
-
My parents have a joint e-mail! But it's mainly because only my mom actually checks it, haha. And I can't really picture my dad sending e-mails, though I know he knows how, haha.
Hubs and I totally SHOULD have a joint account because he doesn't ever check his e-mail! Then maybe people would feel like they're getting e-mails from BOTH of us, instead of just me. And it wouldn't really matter if I continued getting all the mail I get, because Hubs would never check it and I could just let him know if he got an e-mail (actually, that happens now - I'll try to check his e-mail for him once a week and let him know if he has anything he should respond to).
-
@babycanuck: uhhhhh nope! That would be weird. Dhs parents have one though!
-
My parents have a joint email as well, it works for them.
I have a bunch of email accounts, as does my husband, but we don't have one that we share...well actually we do...it's the one that is linked to our website. We don't actively post to it anymore, but when we did, we'd get messages there and either one of us could check or respond. It was useful when we were planning our wedding.
-
Nope! I don't see the need. We don't even know each other's passwords. Joint Facebook accounts seem a bit strange, also.
-
NO, we have seperate although I guess I don't use my personal account besides store emails so if DH would need it I woudl let him, but that would be strange to me? ha
Totally think joint FB accounts are weird, I think if you can't trust your partner to have their own social media maybe you shouldn't have one at all?
-
Nope...we had separate accounts before we met, there's no reason for either of us to give them up. For household stuff, we use my email, because I keep it more organized.
-
no way... my DH never deletes his emails and never reads half of them, it would drive me nuts.
Plus, it seems like something only super jealous people would feel the need to impose.... like a way of monitoring each other. If you don't trust your spouse they probably have a secret account anyway!
-
We each have our own personal email account, but we started a joint account when we were getting married for vendors and staying organized. We use that account now for bills, email sign-ups, etc.
-
We had a shared one from our wedding... We will probably use it when we send out "couple" news or e-invitations in the future, but we definitely have separate email accounts. I wouldn't want people to hesitate to email either of us because they think that they have to be emailing the BOTH of us! Plus it would be so difficult to tell everyone my email changed; I have been using mine for a long time, ever since gmail began! We look at each other's emails anyway.
-
We don't. And we probably never will. I have access to DH's e-mail from doing a few favors for him, but I never check it unless he asks me to. I'm not sure if DH knows my email pw, but I woudln't care if he did. neither of us really use email aside from notifications, so that's why we wouldn't create a third, s hared account!
-
We have a shared "family" email for things that we both need to know but only allows one email; however we also each still have our own emails as well.
-
No! And why!?!? I hate this!!!
-
My SIL and BIL have one but my sister also has her own work email so I always use that one. It drives me crazy to think he would read something meant for her before she had a chance to. We know each others passwords but that's it.
-
we do not, but i think, like @tinyperson: mentioned, there are instances in which a couple would want a joint email account. i just wouldn't keep track of an extra account though.
-
@Leialou: I had the same thought, then he'd know what I bought him, or myself for that matter! lol!
I can't imagine how annoyed he'd be with all my HB notifications either.
-
Nope. I hate the way DH keeps his email organized and he would hate how many emails my girlfriends send!
-
I have a few friends who write me personal emails from a joint account and I never understood it!
-
We have one that I created for our wedding and some of the home bills are setup with that account.
I don't use it to email users, unless I'm sending an email to thank someone for a gift.
Although, it might be a joint email account, I don't think the DH knows the email address and password to access it.
ETA: Oh, we definitely have our own individual emails accounts that are the ones we primarily use. The joint account is used now and then.
Yeah, joint FB accounts confuse me.
