We have separate e-mail accounts. He also doesn't have a FB account at all but I have one. We also don't share pswds. If we are sending out an e-mail from both of us....whoever sends it out will just copy the other person.
No offense to anyone who shares an email account with their SO - but I just can't understand it. I have nothing to hide from the boy, but I certainly don't want to weed through his Netflix queue updates, just as I'm sure he doesn't want to read the fashion newsletters I subscribe to.
Nope. We keep them separate. We know e/o's passwords, but we don't actually check e/o's emails or anything. Several of my aunts and uncles and friends' parents share email, but we've both had our own email accounts for so long that it doesn't make sense for us to share. I have enough trouble keeping up with my own email!
We don't share email or facebook accounts. Maybe in the future we'll get a joint email account, but still keep our individual ones.
Whenever I see a couple that shares an email address, I always want to say "You guys know that this is free, right?" 
We definitely have separate accounts, but we have the same passwords, just because it is easier to remember- not necessarily for any other reason.
We have seperate emails. FH doesnt have a FB and I do. I think its weird when people have shared FB.
I hate shared facebook accounts!!! The names are blurred together like JohnKate Smith and then they have to sign their posts off as ~John or ~Kate. I hate them!!!! We have separate ones =P. But my parents share an email account. But Dh and I are way, way more tech savvy.
No, neither but we have each others passwords. Neither of us really go on FB much but once in awhile I'll tell him to put vacation pictures up on my page or he needs something out of his email so I'll get it for him. So they're seperate but open to each other.
We don't. I have a few friends from HS that share a FB account. It wouldn't work for me. I like to have my own identity on their, with my friends only. Sure we have mutual friends, but I also have at least 200 that he doesn't know. So that's just weird. And we often communicate through their, so he'd have no idea what we were talking about if he were to read it first. Plus, people are probably less likely to leave you messages or write on your wall if its supposed to be intended for both of you. The email thing isn't as difficult to me. Because its mostly bills and crap that gets sent to me.
I don't get the shared FBook account. I put "other"...We don't have shared email, but I can see why, in the future, we might create one. It's just easier in terms of stuff with kids (school stuff, playdates, camp, classes, etc) and stuff that's for both of us (vacation stuff, home stuff, etc). Then we don't have to worry about forwarding it to the other person. But then again, we know the passwords to each other's email and I would feel fine with him checking my email if there's something in there that's for us.
We have seperate accounts, I think it's weird to share all of that stuff esp. e-mail there's is noway he needs to be reading all of my work e-mails and stuff.
We have seperate accounts, but we know all of each others passwords. Neither of us use facebook that much, so it's not too big of a deal. I dont quite understand how someone would "share" a facebook account. Just because you are part of a couple, doesn't mean you lose your indiviudal identity.... Seems weird to me.
Yeah can I say heck no! FI probably wouldn't be marrying me if I was into that. We are still separate people.
We have separate accounts (FB and e mail), and don’t share passwords. I don’t keep anything from him, nor he from me, but I don’t see any reason to share *everything*, if that makes sense. We each have our own sets of friends, and getting married doesn’t turn us into one blob-entity, we’re still our own people with separate friends.
The only shared online thing we have is for paying bills, we created a shared username and password that we know/use to pay all the bills, so either can log onto the bill pay sites and then the payment confirmation gets sent to my email address.
My parents share an e mail account, but they are older and don’t really use the interwebz too much, so it makes sense for them.
We made a shared email account for wedding specific emails. This way we both get the alert on our phones at the same time no matter where we are!! It's fun to know that we are both reading the same info at the same time.
As for personal email, no, we have our own.
We have both.
We share a facebook account & a home email address. But he has a school email address, and I have a work and personal one.
I wish that facebook would let you add an "&" between the names, I know several people that share an account, and ejs, you are right, they do run together. I made it so that my maiden name shows up in parenthesis at the end, so that people could still search for me.
We don't have a shared email or FB, but we do have a shared twitter. We only started it to enter wedding contests and we don't use it for anything else. Our guests are the only people that know about our wedding twitter.
We put an option in gmail with filters that let's anything sent to a +wedding tab be sent to both of us because we are handling different vendors and were accidentally overbooking appointments. Just set up a filter for anything that comes in to gmail with yournormalemailaddress+wedding@gmail.com to be sent to your FI and start giving out that address. It was easy, helped us stay on the same page AND keep our individual accounts!
He's not into the FB thing, I just barely got one. So def separate. And for e-mails we have so many (work, personal, we had a wedding one for junk mail), but those were all separate.
A friend of mine had a family FB account, but really it was more like her own. her hubby never did anything, so I kinda didn't see the point.
My aunt and uncles have a shared facebook account, and it drives me nuts! I never know which one of them is posting. Their name on FB is "Uncle's First Name Aunt's First name Kid1 first name Kid2 first name Last Name" I don't know what they'll do if they have more kids. :p
We have seperate email & fb. Although we do share our wedding email - we created a new one just for the wedding planning.
We share our personal email account. I have a facebook account and he doesn't. He doesn't get on the computer, but he knows all of my passwords anyway, just in case something would happen to me and he would have to use the accounts.
@fitzly: How do you set up that filter?! That is so smart!
I'm interested as to why couples share their email/fb passwords? FI and I do not...My email is private an personal...and what if I was buying him things and he went in?? We don't have 'secrets' per se, but I also don't feel like he needs access to private or personal emails I share with friends and family, or information that might need to be a surprise. Do the people who share their passwords have a reason? Or its just something you feel natural doing? Just curious!
I don't understand why people share email/facebook pages either. It's free, and you are two separate people. My Fi and I have eachother's passwords, but we each have our own facebook and email accounts.
ETA - we have eachother's passwords only because sometimes if someone is out they will call and say, "hey check me email and let me know if...." Not as much anymore though now that we have iphones. We don't share pws to snoop.
We have seperate email accounts and FB accounts, but we also have a shared email account that sometimes we send pics to family from and we used for wedding stuff. We really set it up more for future kid stuff so we don't use it that often but I wanted to secure the name ;) We know eachothers passwords but we use eachother's computers so we've just always known eachother's passwords. He couldn't care less about my emails but sometimes I check his work emails just cuz I'm nosy and want to see what kind of mood he'll be in, haha.
We each have multiple personal emails and separate fb accounts but also know most of each others passwords. I honestly am lazy so if FI was at the computer I would just have him log into fb and see if I had any messages or whatnot. We do not check each others emails though but we are a very open couple and also know both pins etc.

This reminds me of back in the early 1990's when couples would get pics taken wearing jeans and matching sweaters or white oxford shirts or something. You could do it, but why?
We each have emails that we had before we got married. We don't share pws. I have a FB account but DH thinks its the dumbest thing ever. Some of my aunts & uncles have the joint accounts, but it's mostly for emailling their grandkids and such.
It drives me crazy when people have shared accounts. My cousin and her husband share an email address and it feels so awkward to email one of them, knowing the other will probably read it and I have no idea if the right one will actually get the email. Plus, it's kind of creepy :/
no, but i will admit that back when cell phones were newer, we shared one of those. it was awful. our friends could never be sure they were reaching us, and the one of us who wanted to call the other had to use a pay phone!
I think separate is better all the way :)
My email I use for facebook is my junk email ....nothing imprtant goes to that email address.
It's so weird to me when couples have the same Facebook...I never know who I'm talking to! Do I address both of them when replying to a comment? Do I pick one? What about if I want to IM one of them, but it turns out to be the other...
Good grief! :P
We each have a work and personal e-mail of our own. However, we each know the password to the other's. It's for practical reasons like I had to get into his email because the invitation seller sent something to him and he needed to get into mine to get my mom's flight info. We do, however, have our google calanders linked up together and that's pretty useful!
We both have seperate accounts but we also have a joint account that I made for wedding rsvps. It does get forwarded to my personal email account. I use it now for bill pay and netflix and other joint related things.
@ten.ten.ten: Ditto. Wedding related emails only. It works well keeping up with all the info.
I made a joint e-mail account for us. The idea is using it for wedding stuff and later in our life we can use it for other purposes, such as keeping up with family. My parents have a joint one where all their household stuff goes, I think it is good to have a joint account alongside your personal.
I checked other, because we both have our own email and facebook accounts, but I did make a new email account just for wedding related things, because bridal shows and wedding related websites send so much spam, and it was a good way to keep track of vendor emails, and both of us could sign in if something needed to be checked on. We don't share facebook or email passwords at all.
