I don’t get sharing of every space when you are in a relationship. Apparently, about 38% of people in relationships think that spying on their lover is a good idea, maybe even necessary.

Wow.

Ok, so for the record, here are the areas of my life that are never ok to snoop into. Ever.
Cell phone, laptop, any email accounts, wallet, journals, briefcase, iPad, glove compartment, dresser drawers, pockets, mail, any furniture in my office, bank accounts, social media accounts and private parts of my blog, including drafts. And I will never share my dog. Ever.

In exchange, I will never check out any of yours, including your purse. Don’t ask me to answer your cell phone, pick up your email or open a letter and read it to you. And it will never be ok to “hop on your laptop quick.” I just won’t do it and I expect the same from you.

It’s not that I have anything to hide, but that I need space to be entirely free to be me. Most of what you get is stuff that I have worked out enough in my head to feel comfortable with either defending or accepting compliments for. The other stuff is just not ready for me to put out there, no matter how close we are.

Just who I am. I suspect there are others just like me.
