Password sharing reveals ex's texts

By Amy Dickinson, Tribune Content Agency on

But it seems that in your world, sharing passwords and biometrics is a "we're exclusive" litmus test. I think this is unwise. If your guy had given his previous girlfriend password access to all of his social media accounts, she'd have hacked him by now.

Even though you and your guy are aware of technology at a consumer level, you don't seem to have figured out how to block someone from a phone.

Go to the contacts list on his phone, scroll to the contact card with his ex's name, scroll to the bottom where it says "block this caller," and press the button. The process is similar for WhatsApp.

When you block someone, they don't know that they've been blocked. If they send a message, it will appear to have been received.

Her attempts to contact your boyfriend seem to trigger a desire in you to respond on his behalf. There is no need to play this "leave my man alone" game. That just leads to more drama.

Dear Amy: I've been with my husband for almost five years; we've been married for about a year and a half.

 

I love my in-laws. They seem to like me, but I don't know what to call them. They live in Canada half the year and in the United States the other half. We only see them twice a year.

They have been so nice to me and I want to call them something special, but I'm not sure if "Mom" and "Dad" is right.

My parents are no longer in my life, and I feel so lucky to have my husband's family.

So far, I've called them by their first names, but it doesn't seem as loving as I'd like to be. Is "Mom" and "Dad" too personal?
