Do You Allow Your Spouse To Read All Your E-Mails?

Joseph: You can look at all the other anti technology threads for reference.

Email is very much like snail mail. Should the spouse read all the personal communications?

… and phone calls.

Joseph, do you make sure to never make or answer a phone call without your wife present? Or do you just record them all for her later listening enjoyment?

So you dispute Hillel. You have your own shitta?

Hillel was talking about falling into a nisayon. Please go back to my post and tell me how not sharing in any of the scenarios I presented can lead one into the types of sin that Hillel was looking to prevent.

And, also, please answer my question regarding your phone conversations. Are you meticulous in your behavior to make sure your wife listens to all of your phone calls?

Granting someone access to your communications at one point in time

does not prevent you from creating another account whenever you like. You’re going to have to control yourself no matter what.

(I don’t think what you’re worried about is a matter of impulse.)

Joseph: I’m curious, are there trust issues in your relationship? If there are, get help now! I would never think to ask such a question.

As for me, my computer is open day and night, except Shabbos, as is my e-mail. My wife could look at it if she wanted without my knowledge, but she doesn’t and I don’t look at hers either. We have no such need, especially when you know there is nothing to hide.

Do you have a filter on your internet?

That guards against matters of impulse. I think The Wolf’s

point about phone communication is a good one.
