    MFP Account - check
    SO - not so much

    Guess I can *kitten* my way through MFP and not have to worry about it! :drinker:

    One of the stipulations to dating her was that I give her all my passwords and usernames to online accounts, she also has my credit card information now.

    Smart girl :bigsmile:

    OH that's good! Too funny.

    I wonder if a lot of people in the other thread saying, "Of course my spouse can look through my phone, I have nothing to hide." are now saying, "...um, this is my private thing."

    THAT made me LOL.

    No and he hasn't asked. He's read comments I've shown him and approves of my "reputation" lol

    He's met a few of my MFP friends and he likes them.
    I don't have access to his Sports message board and I don't read what he says all day long.


    IMO it's not bad for people to have their little thing.

    NO! she doesn't even care about MFP and would hate it more than you can imagine.

    He can but he doesn't know what it is. He would see numbers and assume it was something with math and run away as fast as possible from it.

    What if I told you Odusgolp and IPAKiller were actually the same person?!?!?

    Nah, my boyfriend is a bit of a luddite and doesn't use the internet. Doesn't even have a smartphone. Weirdo. Then again I'm barely on here so all he'd see are my workout logs, hardly juicy material. I tend to keep away from the forums :P

    Doesn't have my password, but we're friends on here so he can copy the recipes I input and such. So there's that.

    Wait! You can do that? That would make it SOOOOO much easier when we have the same recipe for dinner. Now I just have to figure out how, LOL...

    But to answer the original question, I guess he could, because I never log out on my computer at the house. Nothing to see here, tho...I am relatively well-behaved here.

    What's a significant other? :laugh:

    I don't log out and he knows my computer password, so yes, he can, but why would he bother? He uses MFP, too, so often one of us will log a shared meal and the other will just copy it to their own diary, which makes cooking for both of us much easier. He never reads the forums, though, but I talk about him in my profile (he made a face when he read it but it's not like I name him, and he didn't ask me to change it).

    She could if she wanted to but she never would unless I asked her to check something for me.

    I never log out so yes he can but I don't know why he would want to.

    He's not a fan of social media. I've tried. He does call all mfp's my boyfriends and girlfriends. Then laughs and moves on

    if he asked I would give him access, but I cant imagine he cares how many grams of protein I ate yesterday

    If someone needs access to your personal accounts it is usually for two reasons, you have done something to make them think they need it, or they have struggled with honesty in the past probably from another SO and are extra precautious.

    Either way, if they ask you should acquiesce.

    People who have nothing to hide, hide nothing

    Apparently, it's a person who, by default, doesn't trust you and feels compelled to snoop electronic devices for incriminating evidence or, at least, reserves the right to do so.

    Dang! I'm glad I don't have anyone like that! I prefer someone who trusts me over someone who doesn't....Just sayin :drinker:

    I would actually encourage access to my MFP account because 90% of the creeper messages I get are hilarious

    Probably. I leave it logged in.

    exactly this

    Same here. I have nothing to hide from him, so he could have access to whatever he chooses.

    It's not a popular sentiment but I agree. I hope my SO doesn't see this.

    Care to share what you two are hiding?

    He got on to my FB account a couple of times and left comments on my wall there about the prudence of logging off your accounts when using you husband's computer. :laugh: I then logged on to his FB account on his computer while he was at work and left comments on his wall about it being imprudent to antagonize the wife who is better at memorizing passwords and account numbers than you are. :tongue:

    He has very strict instructions not to mess with my MFP account though, because I actually like the people here. Seriously though, if he wanted to look he could, but half the time I'm reading the conversation to him if it's especially amusing anyways.

    Yeah, I tried to show mine one ("The how much do you deadlift" guy) but he wasn't interested. Bah.
