Maybe it's because I was (slightly) over 30 when Hot Guy and I got together. Maybe it's because I am an only child. Maybe it's because I can barely remember which emails I've read, even though I mark them. . . .
But I just can't imagine sharing an email address with my spouse.
I love Hot Guy. I know his password and he knows mine. We have no email secrets. Half of my emails are forwards from him. But I can't imagine having to read the titles of twice the emails I get now and then having to mentally sort them between his, mine and ours. I can't imagine sending the silly e-cards I send him to my own email address. I can't imagine having to figure out whether I've read the light blue (the Gmail read color) email from a mutual friend, or he has. I can't imagine not having an internet identity of my own.
I suppose I can see having a joint email for certain purposes (although when it's so easy to press "forward", I'm not sure why you'd NEED one), as long as you had solo ones too. But I know some people whose only email is the one they share with their spouse.
Is that weird, or is my inner only child coming out?

That's strange. I have three personal ones. He has about five. We don't keep secrets either, but sharing one? Strange indeed.
No not weird at all...Not sure I get the need either.
That's weird. I don't want to read (or sort through) all his video game emails and I'm sure he's not interested in my girlie ones. We have each others passwords and no secrets but I like having my own email.
I have friends who share their email address with their spouse and I don't understand it. Most of them are not "tech savvy" people and they don't understand why we have more computers than people in our household, so I guess they just don't use their email very often.
Shared emails? WEIRD!
We have mutuals and then our own. Believe me, keep some identity for yourself. Plus, what if just once in a great while(sarcasm)I want to bitch about my hubby?
i would never share an email with hubby....sounds like an alex and simon thingy from housewives of nyc
This is just odd. My husband recently received an e-mail from a friend of his that shares an address with his wife and we both agreed its strange and odd. It's not like e-mail addresses cost money here.
It'd be like sharing a toothbrush. Just cause my husband and I exchange bodily fluids doesn't mean I want his plaque in my mouth. ICK!
*weird*
but that's just me... i have no interest in sharing an email address with the father of my children. besides, he types one-handed and reads at a 3rd grade level. amazing that our bills get paid every month...
Nope. I wouldn't want to share. That just seems wrong. I don't really know why.
I am with you on this one - I have NEVER understood (especially when it is SO easy to have your own free email address) why anyone would share an email address. What's the point??
I have some family that does that. How to gossip about said husband when he might be reading it???
