Q: My husband wants my social media and email passwords in case of an emergency. But I don't want to give mine up. How do I tell him?

A: Afraid he'll break in and start poking the wrong buddies eh? First off, ask yourself if you have something serious to hide. If you do, then you might want to have a serious think about what you're doing before I report you to Cheaters.

If you're as pure as the driven snow, then politely explain to him how personal communications are just that (personal) and while you're happy to share pretty much everything with him including the remote and your shampoo (should he dare ask), you still need your own life, which includes your own correspondence. How else will you ever be able to arrange his surprise birthday party?

If he's neither ex-KGB nor the jealous type and you think his intentions are noble, offer him a compromise if he drops his lip over being denied emergency access. Investigate services like www.deathswitch.com or www.assetlock.net, which release passwords and other classified info to whomever you select in the event of your death. Alternatively, put the passwords in a sealed envelope in the safe and hopefully he won't try steaming it open to spy on who you're playing chat roulette with.
