[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"So you've been doing a lot of IMing tonight. I noticed that every time I walk by, you hit the alt tab so the IM screen changes, as if you don't want me to see what you're typing.  What's up with that, because my expectation is that you'd be comfortable IMing with me sitting right next to you. Are you?"

See where it goes.

Marriage is about transparency. [/quote]

I guess I disagree with that.  While I don't IM with colleagues at work I wouldn't want my spouse to see, for example, my texts with my sister or my mom nor do I think my spouse has a right to see them.[/quote]

This isn't about "rights." It's about a marriage where two people are committed to engage in an honest and intimate relationship. Should you have a relationship with your sister and mom where you can turn to them about advice about something in your marriage? Sure. But you shouldn't be texting them something you'd regret your spouse seeing. If that's the case, then there is a real problem that you need to address directly with your spouse. [/quote]

I still disagree.  There can be any number of things I'm texting with them about that I wouldn't want my spouse to see, mostly things that relate to my mom or sister.  Issues my sister is having in her marriage, for example, is something I would regret my spouse seeing.  Health issues my mom might be having would be another.  [/quote]

You wouldn't share your sister/mother's business with your spouse? That's super, super weird.[/quote]
