So you took the big step in your relationship. No, you didn’t buy a house or an engagement ring. You gave your partner your passwords. By doing this, you’re saying that you trust them. While sharing this highly confidential information seems like a step in the right direction in your relationship, there are detrimental side effects that can come with it. A study conducted by Better Buy Insurance showed that 41% of 18- to 34-year-olds said they regretted sharing their passwords with their partners. That’s almost half!

All people are individuals, and whether you’re in a relationship or not, you have the right to your own hobbies, interests, and more. - If your partner persistently asks for your password and says that you don’t trust them if you don’t give it to them, this is a classic case of manipulation. By not sharing your personal info, they take it to mean something bigger and use it to threaten the relationship. - You never really know exactly where your relationship will end up. For that reason, sharing your password with your partner can be incredibly damaging. - If you don’t feel comfortable sharing your passwords with your significant other, it’s important to take precautionary measures when creating them in the first place. - Give your email account its own password. Make sure this code is incredibly strong and hard to guess. - Be random! The more random the words you choose, the better. - Take advantage of 2-step authentication. In many online systems, they offer 2 different steps of security, providing even more protection for your accounts. - Change your passwords after a breakup. If you do share your password with a partner and then break up with them, change the password promptly before they have a chance to use it. - Checking your ex’s personal pages online can cause you to become irrationally jealous and angry, and it can be an incredibly toxic habit. It prohibits you from moving on and can also infringe on your current relationships. - If you ever feel like your significant other is taking advantage of you or is using technology to ruin your life, it is likely a toxic relationship that you should no longer be in.
