<![CDATA[Whom do you trust?]]>Interesting post on X:

My partner and I share our phones the same way. We have one bank account, and everything's transparent.

My kids are somewhat more secretive with theirs. All the finances are common between the pair of us - apart from anything else, if one of us gets hit by a bus the other one will still need to pay the bills.

unfortunately in order to receieve work emails on my phone i need to change the passcode every 6 months, which means unless i use face recognition, i always need to look up what the hell it is this time.

Yeah I know my wife's phone passcode. She is trustworthy, it's a trait I'd highly recommend to anyone getting married.... make sure you trust them, also laugh with them, and they show patience with others. But yeah, trust.

I actually leave my phone unlocked, I don't even have a case on it. Maybe it'll bite me in the butt, but for years... no case, no code. Although I think after 4 hours it does require a Face ID or passcode.

Access to everything for both of us, phone codes, bank accounts. But we had nothing when we got married, we were both in grad school. It’s easier to feel like everything is shared when you start with nothing! It does help that our thoughts on how to spend/save money are pretty much the same.

One person said that this is a marriage that should have never occurred.

The thread is fascinating to read.

Considering how cheap phones/plans have become in the last 10 years, that might be a good strategy for the rest of us plebs.

@Horace said:

It's common courtesy to use a different phone (and number) for one's clandestine affairs.

Kevin O'Leary has a video in which he explains why he has three phones.

(if I recall correctly)

  1. Family/Friends phone
  2. Crap phone for everything else
  3. Business phone for super secret stuff.

I'll see if I can find it.

I understand there are services which give you a "virtual phone" on your real phone so you can avoid BS calls etc.

But, that's beside the point the original poster on Twitter makes..."Whom do you trust?"

I trust my partner implicitly. When I mentioned this post, I asked, "What's the code for my phone?"

"I don't know"

"Take a guess..."

"1234?"

"Yup. You guessed it in one."
