DH and DW sharing an e-mail address

[Anonymous]

No f---ing way! My DW has something line 15000 unopened emails and it drives me nuts. She says she can't simply find a way to dump them. Worse, is she gets so many that when her friends send her one she often doesn't see it because there are so many.

I'm divorced and we have an account like this that we use specifically for kid stuff. Team schedules, teacher correspondence, birthday invites, etc. it's convenient.

I still have the joint email my spouse and I set up when we got married. Some people still send us emails there. Neither of us hardly checks it. Just like my home phone number I give it to people I don't like.

I have a couple of different accounts, for various activities, boards, etc. I think DH has a few also for similar. No big deal, it's not like we're monitoring all of each others correspondence - THAT would be weird.

Same. We each have several of our own for different purposes, but our child just started kindergarten so I set up a family one to sign up for everything.

My husband never uses his own email. He probably hasn't checked it in ages. He communicates via text and phone. For the rare occasion that he uses email, he uses my address. I don't really communicate anything personal via email, so it's not a problem for me. When I check my email, I just scroll past his emails, which are mostly just eBay.

Omg your wife and my DH and his 4000 emails should get together. It makes me want to scream!

We share an email. It's the one that pops up on our ipad. What the big deal? We had this email since 2000.

No cheating. How ridiculous.

I worry about those who don't share email. Why the secrets?

+1. We have a "family" email that all family correspondence goes to. This includes school notifications, evites, extended family information etc. BTW we are divorced.
I also have my own email and so does XDH.

You need to put that big brain to work and come up with a new put down. This one was funny the first 200 times you posted it.

The trust/cheating argument is null, because it's insanely easy to create another email account.

There was a woman in a Moms Club group I was in when DS was little who used a shared email address for EVERYTHING. The husband would read and reply to emails that were specifically directed to her. He was a control freak in other ways—she had to go over every dollar she spent with him every night and if she went out in the evening he’d never put the kids to bed so she wouldn’t stay out too late. It was weird because she had a very strong personality in public situations.

Fast forward several years and the wife had an affair with her kid’s coach and the husband sent an email about it to the team. They sold their house and moved to another city. We have mutual friends on FB and she’s with her husband in her profile pic so maybe they got counseling.

What I think is really weird is when the wife uses the husbands email address: but then again I think it’s weird when the wife changes her last name to his. Seems parallel.

Haha same thing for shared facebook profiles - anytime you see a shared Facebook, it’s because one of them cheated. Same thing for email address.

We use a family email for kid related stuff. It makes it easier for both of us to know what's going on. We also have separate personal and work emails.

DP, you seem to think I'm someone else. You need to put your two tiny brain cells together and try to understand the nuances of the English language. The sentence wasn't a "put down" at all, as you so eloquently wrote. It was an expression of true pity shown to the clueless pp.
