It isn't any of my stinking business who is calling and I respect that. If a female friend ended up finding out something she did not like it would be "short lived" because we wouldn't be seeing each other again. That seems simple enough too.

Robin, we seem to have a good understanding.
Us low/moderate level BOINKED people do have some redeeming qualities LOL!

Personally I would never do it for fear tht i might find out something that I will not like...
Many women (or at least the ones I've known) assume there is something always going on. My ex tore up my phone book when we got married "so we can start with a clean slate" .... she didn't know about electronic backup

Sometimes people start talking about their exes and mentioning those too much in conversations. Doing this is really not a good idea unless your current partner asks to talk about it because it makes them feel uncomfortable, like they are being compared or the past relationship is not over completely. This is what could make someone to tear up a phone book

Seriously?.

Trust me, that would not happen to me. If someone is going to tear up my "black book", it's going to be me and only ME!. Just like I don't give a crap if she keeps hers, she shouldn't give a crap if I keep mine.

My past is my past and I am the only one who should worry about it. Just like she should be the only one worrying about hers.

Now, that doesn't mean that I will "shove it" on her face (the "black book", I mean). I don't need to "display" my past to her. That would be rude and disrespectful..

See, that's exactly what I mean when I say that people should NOT be given so much rights. She tore it up because she thought she had the right to do so. But where is she now?, GONE.

So what's the point in giving someone so much liberties with YOUR stuff?.

Btw, that was funny, the "electronic backup" thingie!.

I have never felt the need to give my boyfriends or any friends/family access to my passwords. Perhaps it is an IT thing, that passwords shouldn't be shared and for a reason.

One of my ex boyfriends was an unapologetic pathalogical liar. I knew it...there were signs right there from the start that he couldn't be trusted, but I stuck it out. Ok so the one time I noticed his password on the scratch pad on my phone, I couldn't resist temptation and called his voicemail. Sure enough it was full of suggestive messages from more than one other woman...I had only confirmed what I had known all along...there was no need to have his password.

Before that and since then I've stuck to the no password sharing policy and I haven't had a problem. At home or in the DR...Everyone needs a degree of privacy. If they aren't to be trusted it will show in other ways...

IMHO If you (or anyone in general) feel you must know your partner's business and get the passwords, chances are you are with the wrong person, or you're not to be trusted yourself...I'm not trying to be smart-@ss, but it's often the ones that are out there committing the dishonesty that want full disclosure from others...distrustful behaviour breeds distrust in others.

Totally agree. Honest people have ability to trust others and beleive in good qualities in people in general. Those, who question everything about others usually are very dishonest themselves.

I agree with you on the privacy thing Miguel. We all need our privacy.
