To Tell or Not To Tell

There were a lot of things we take for granted or we think we ought to have as a privilege for being legally bound to our partner.



I was asked one time if it is okay to open one's mail or even read a text message addressed to one's spouse. I advised that it is highly unethical and creates a bad impression that you don't trust your own spouse. If there are children around, what kind of values are you showing to your kids?



Even though two people have gotten married doesn't mean one has every right to a full disclosure of the other partner's activities etcetera. Even the family's monthly bills if it is addressed to the other partner you still have to wait and ask permission to open it though you share to pay for it. Preposterous it may sound but that is the proper thing to do.



We should never forget to give our 100% trust and respect to our partners and that includes giving them personal space and privacy. One of the nice things about being married to someone is we have a lifetime to spend getting to know each other, help each other become better and grow old knowing we have someone whom we can trust and lean on.
