Boyfriend gave me his Facebook password?

[M]

My boyfriend and I have been together for 7 months, and we get along great and are both in our mid 20s. He's told me in the past that I can ask for his Facebook password if I ever feel the need to do so. I trust him and am not the snooping type and therefore I never asked him. Today however he gave me his password randomly. Now I feel obligated to give him my password as well, even thiugh he explicitly hasnt asked me for mine. I don't have anything to hide, but I feel sharing passwords can create unecessarry drama. How should I approach this.

well. in my experience, your handeling this the wrong way.
im sorry but just hear me out. if you have nothing to hide then there would be no drama. and if he didnt want it that should make you 100% comfortable with giving it to him since you know he trusts you.
so you might want to actually ask yourself why you asked this question, and do you really like him.

thats my answer

If you don't want him to check yours, don't check his. Tell him you trust him and don't need to check it. Leave it at that.

There's no need to share FB passwords, there really isn't. It's not as much about trust as it is about having your own friends and having your own personal identity and human privacy. An example of the type of problems that can arise is, if someone sends you a message telling you something that THEY want private, but if your partner sees it first, they might say something to someone else and voila, you've got a bunch of drama on your hands. And that's just one example of the problems that can surface when sharing an account with your partner.

I'd just say thank you for trusting me with your account, but I don't want to go on your FB because I DO trust you and I respect your privacy. Hopefully he will understand where you're coming from and that'll be it...
