Couples or Families That Share an Email Address....

Bug the hell out of me.... why is that?

Because you'll never know what it feels like to be part of a relationship.

I only know of one couple who does that and they are in a codependent relationship (and they admit it). They are nice people, though.

One of them was caught cheating and can no longer be trusted alone. That’s what I see when I see joint Facebook accounts.

They’re swingers!

How do each of them know what is spam and what isn't? I would be afraid my spouse would delete something I want to see. Do these people go through their emails together?

Why does it bother you, OP?

Ugh, I know. I'm volunteering on this community thing , and the woman who is in charge has one of those "______Family@" emails. The problem is, when it's pops up in a recipient's email, it shows up her husband's first and last name--which happens to also be my first name! It's been very confusing trying to figure out what's up, especially in Gmail chains. Just get an email. It takes all of 2 minutes.

They're operating on a landline telephone mentality: one phone number for everybody in the household. I can see how couples and families shared email addresses in the 90s out of habit for sharing a telephone line. Why anybody younger than 60 would do that in 2018 is unnecessary and demonstrates that somebody can't be trusted and/or somebody "doesn't do email" so their partner handles it for them, or people want to advertise their relationship status or, or...

R6 has a shared email obviously.

Someone in the family is a control freak.

Because they respect and trust each other and you don't respect anyone.

Shitty assholes

when people started getting emails in the 1990's, I shared an email with my bf at the time. Then life got more complicated and everything was communicated via email. That's when we got separate emails.

My parents do this. They’re in their 80s. I should be happy they use email at all.

I have a shared e-mail address with my husband that goes through our ISP and sends e-mails to our main PC. We check those e-mails every day, and a lot of them concern things like utilities, internet shopping and family-related communication that it makes sense for us to share. It's also super-useful because it connects to the joint Outlook calendar we maintain on the PC, so each of us can send and input appointments and we'll both see them and plan accordingly.

We don't really have secrets from one another, but we do each have a separate gmail address for things that only affect one of us (old friends, school reunions, etc.). I also have a couple of burner e-mail accounts that I use for unofficial things.

So we've got everything covered, and it works great.

Once I found AOL Men4Men, I needed a separate email from the rest of my family...

What about those weirdos who share a facebook account? In fact, the crazy parents with the 13 kids chained to a bed are an excellent example: they were on facebook as David-Louise Turpin.

by Anonymousreply 17January 17, 2018 4:04 PM

My guess is those couples who appear to share a Facebook account are really just one person who wants to project to his/her friends that s(he) is in a wonderful relationship but in fact the partner never even looks at Facebook.
