Absolutely not!! In any relationship, a person has to have a degree of autonomy, privacy and space. People say true love is knowing each other 100% and if you have got nothing to hide why not know each others passwords. But I pose this to you:where is the excitement of knowing every single thing about your partner? That breeds (1)policing, (2)endless questions as the green eyed monster rears it's ugly head.. "Who is s/he, why is this particular person using such phrases.....Why are you still in touch" Something so simple becomes a nightmare.(3) That is when we start changing as individuals.. fearing and acting guilty and hiding things that do not need to be hidden to avoid pointless confrontation.Justifying every friend, relative and contact.

 Whether you are male or female, keep a certain sense of your own identity, your own hobbies, a side of you that is developing at all times. Think of it this way, once a relationship turns cold you have a sense of individuality left. Im not saying all relationships turn cold. Even if your together for 40 odd years, your partner will still look at you with fresh pair of eyes knowing your unpredictable to some point.

Never experienced it myself but its something that is obvious and those of you who want to be open with your loved ones, as open as a 7/11 shop then go ahead.. be your own scientific experiment! After all Einstein didn't get his theories right the first time. My advice to you is: Share yourself but DO NOT share your passwords!

In the western countries, its a no no to open someone's mail, whatever format it is. Just as it is to answer someone's cell phone or check that someones incoming or outgoing calls. However, it is ok if your spouse or partner allows you to do so.

If someone is determined to cheat, she or he will go ahead and cheat, no matter what deterrent you put into force.
