Your Man Won’t Give Up His Social Media Passwords, What Now?

We live in a day and age where everyone has at least one social media account. Even your grandmother has a Facebook page and she’s contemplating getting Twitter too. Many people share the popular belief that social networks are bad for relationships and probably cause more harm than good. Me, on the other hand, feel the opposite. Social media sites can’t be totally to blame for people’s indiscretions. Some people just (for lack of a better word) ain’t s***!

For those of you who feel that social media is bad for relationships, I can definitely see where you would think that. People tend to take on another life when they are online and sometimes that life is one of a single/unattached person. Inboxes become a haven for inappropriate behavior and you, on the outside, are none the wiser. If you felt that your mate was up to no good online, would you request that he gave you his password?

I’ve never asked for the password out right, but let’s be honest, there are times where my man has left his page logged in and I have taken a quick peek here and there. Sometimes you find what you are looking for, sometimes you don’t. Often when you don’t find anything, you just assume he’s really good at covering his tracks and come back looking for more some other time. It’s a never ending cycle that becomes quite exhausting to say the least. When you do find something, you have to confront him, leaving out the fact that you were Inspector Gadget and hacking into his personal profile, obviously. Again, a never ending and very exhausting cycle.

Does a man denying you access to his account mean that he’s cheating? What if he doesn’t want you to be his friend on his social media page, is there a cause for concern? In my opinion, there’s not a real answer to this and that’s why I’m posing the question to you guys. I’m personally someone who is big on privacy (I’ve grown in the last few years) and even bigger on trust. If for whatever reason I can’t trust you, I don’t see a point in us being together. On the other side of the coin there are many women who believe in transparency in their relationship and that there shouldn’t be an issue with trading cell phones for a day, exchanging social media passwords and sharing email addresses.  Neither mindset is wrong as long as your significant other is on the same page, let alone book, as you.
