7 Things Not To Share With Your Partner (3 of 4)

Each Other’s Toothbrushes

You are likely locking lips with your partner every day, multiple times a day. So you share saliva through kissing, and may even share drinks from the same glass. But this does not mean it is time to start sharing toothbrushes with each other. There is still something slightly gross about cleaning your teeth with a toothbrush that has someone else’s mouth germs on it.

Phone or Email Passwords

Many people view giving passwords as a step in learning to trust each other in a relationship. And alternatively, the perception may be that not sharing passwords means there is something to hide. But this is not necessarily true. Keeping your devices and email accounts private gives each other some autonomy, and instills that the other partner does have trust without the need for constant surveillance.

How Much You Don’t Like Their Parents

It’s pretty typical to have some friction with the in-laws. If you actually get along with your significant other’s parents, you are in rare form. Most couples tend to have some qualms with each other’s parents. If you fall into this category, you might have a thousand reasons that you could give your significant other for not liking their parents. But without a doubt, you should not list them all off to your partner’s dismay.
