    Neither of you should know the others passwords. There is no reason to and not disclosing passwords does not mean there is a trust issue... it is just common sense.

    I agree with odinn.

    I have been married 35 years this July, and I've never, ever expected passwords to my husband's anything.

    Nor do I look in his phone, open mail addressed to him, or have I ever gone in his wallet.

    Trust and respect. Without that, you have nothing.

    I agree, go change your passwords, and don't ever expect him to tell you his.

    I am married and my wife does not know my email passwords or any of my passwords. Nor should she,

    Did he ask for yours? Do you know if he accesses them? If so, either change them or leave it as it is if it doesn't bother you. Is there a particular reason you want to know his passwords?

    If he requested yours, but doesn't want to share his, then I would wonder, but if you just gave yours and expected him to do the same, that was a poor assumption.

    I know my husband's but then we do common business/activities together where I may sometimes need to access them. For example, I will sometimes have to take care of banking details for him.

    For a long distance relationship, I can't think of any reason why you would need to know his passwords.

    I agree with the others. Have been married nearly 45 years and do not know my husband's passwords, check his phone messages or cell calls, open his mail, or try to find out personal details about him that he doesn't want me to know. He is the same way about my stuff. It's called TRUST.
