Sharing Facebook passwords? I am SO confused!?

[M]

Last week my boyfriend gave me his Facebook password because he believes there is no such thing as privacy in a relationship, and he felt that by giving me this privilege I would feel special. He also stated that he didn’t want my password, but rather just wanted me to feel special about having access to his. I was aware that he used to share his password with his female best friends as well, so I told him, I didn’t really see this as a privilege because he seems relatively open about Facebook password. He got upset, and was disappointed that I didn’t indeed feel special, but later got over it. Well, I have his password, but I have not logged in. I haven’t logged in because 1) he doesn’t have my password which makes things seem unequal 2) because I’m afraid I’ll see something I won’t like, and might end up misconstruing it. All of this is giving me a headache, and I seriously cannot decide whether sharing passwords is healthy for a relationship or not. I want to discuss this with him but don’t know what to say or how to go about this situation.

Why getting stressed? Chill out
He just gave you his password! No big deal.
He can change it anytime without your permission!
Maybe he's just boasting that he's totally trustable and is doing nothing behind your back! Maybe he wants to gain your trust.
Just be careful and have confidence in yourself.

Well communication is the absolute best thing. If you need to get it off your chest do it. There is nothing worse than holding on to mixed feelings about something that could have easily been resolved a long time ago. I do understand what you mean though; how can it be a privilege if he allowed his best {female} friend to have access to it as well? At the same time, he does want you to trust him which is a great thing. Just talk to him about how you feel. Perhaps you can even the odds and get creative and have random switch weeks where you both are allowed to hold each other’s cell phones for a week {lol} NOW THAT’S TRUST! I’m sure whatever you decide will work out. You sound like you have a good level head on your shoulder so I support anything you decide on. Get em’ gurl!
