Gianbattista

Put me in the category that finds it icky for a couple to share an account. I mean.. they're free.

It's me, not you though.

I believe strongly that individual members of a couple should maintain their own identities.

See, I don't get that. Then again, I am neither single nor male.

What's more icky? A loving couple sharing an account, or a single old man trying to crack on to women wayyyy younger than him on the internet? Think about that for a second.

I have no problem at all distinguishing between you and Gian, Elle.
 
:rose: your opinion is welcome and fine.

If we were paid to have the accounts we would still be one account :D. In uk bank accounts are often free, and we have joint ones, and yes, we have financial holdings in our own names too, but they ' belong' to both of us. We have the same house telephone number, the same cell account, the same postal address, the same car. Our bills go to him or are joint, our spending is joint risk. Invitations to parties come to both of us.

I guess a question in relationships to ask is where is the Where is the line drawn for you? What circumstances or life events if any might change that? Would your partner's/partners' differing wants encourage you to meet compromise?

In face to face or if he were a strong voice here I do not think there would be confusion over our maintaining our identities of personality. :). But an understandable presumption about how we presented this does certainly invite ( understandable) presumption (or even perhaps prejudice?) about why this would be. Its interesting to ponder whether it would have aroused less 'ickiness' had I posted as one person, sexless or male, and been deceptive about my relationship. :)

I understand your reservations, and want to make absolutely clear I am NOT offended or upset or anything like. :rose:. In an unpleasant relationship it could be a means of control and unpleasantness and removal of freedom.

Exactly. Many things are shared and it's absolutely fine! I thought sharing was the whole point of being in a relationship. Loving someone and spending your life together. Sharing an account on Lit doesn't seem like a very big deal at all when I think of the other things my partner and I share and have shared together.

Couldn't have said it any better Elle. :rose:

Cunt.

When you marry me Laurelle will destroy JohnnySavage and we'll share this one.
 
Thank you.

I am not offended by people not liking it though, its their right. :)

Incidentally we do not get many of the 'asshat' emails because anyone who looks at the account name and knows its a male name is put off, and I guess anyone who sees its a joint account is also not sure to who they write, man or woman. Its absolutely true, that Gianbattista and I have equal access to our account. Of course we could delete messages we send, but we can see what comes in.

I think you got it very near the mark when we discussed this before girlsmiley. For us this is seen as as protective,nurturing and bonding.

You're lovely.

Wings was right. You are a breath of fresh air.

It's nice for me to open up a little bit. I feel your posts have brought that out in me. And it feels good to be able to look outside the square every once in awhile. GB member can be so very cut and dry sometimes. You are not cut and dry at all. :heart:

You should read her flowers thread. It's magical. Makes you happy.
 
Elle is polite, inteligent, warm and very generous in how she treats other posters here. she's a most welcome addition to the boards, acting towards a balance to the vocal ugliness that posts.

:rose::rose:
Classic splitting .:rolleyes::D

She's delightful.

I don't think I've ever caught her other half posting.
