Boyfriend gave me his Facebook password! What to do? - M - 06-12-2014 08:10 PM
So my boyfriend and I have been dating for 8 months, and we got along great and are in our mid-20's. He recently gave me his Facebook password, and said I had the privilege to go through it whenever I wanted to. He's also stated that he likes when I take advantage of the 'privileges' he gives to me. I asked him if he wanted my password in return, and he said "no, I'll ask you if I ever want it, but for now, I want you to feel special for having access to mine." Well, ever since he gave me it, I havn't logged in. It just seems, weird you know? At the same time, I am curious to know what's going on in his inbox. I just feel like I'll seem like a weird stalker if I log in! But at the same time, it's like he WANTS me to take up this opportunity. What do I do?

Keep it safe. And sneak a peek at his Facebook activity, now and then.

I'd throw it away and never think of it again. If you trust him, then you don't need to snoop on his profile. You would be invading his privacy out of petty curiosity. Permission or no, this isn't how you treat someone you care for and respect.
The way he spoke about this is kind of strange though. What other "privileges" does he want you to take advantage of? If they also involve having control over his life or his privacy, then I'd wonder if he has some kind of fetish. If that's the case, he should not be involving you without your knowledge.

You tell him you don't feel special; you feel confused. It's one thing if he's given you this information because he trusts you - but you do trust him, so you have no intention of using it, and it doesn't sound like that's what he wants. So he needs to be clearer about exactly what he gets out of you "taking advantage," because otherwise, you're just going to thank him and leave it at that.
