K, good point. I know that my mom suffers from wading through the innumerable cheesy, or sexist, or Republican (often all three) forwards from my dad’s friends. She doesn’t seem to email often enough to want her own account, though. CC

aside from being very codependent, it also seems rather INconvenient to me. do i really want to open my email and wade through 50 comments from the guy’s facebook? but then maybe they share a facebook account too…oy.

This is awful! My cousin did this when she got married and it’s terrible. It’s an extension of the Cult of Couplehood – that EVERY aspect of your life has to be shared. That the person you were is supposed to disappear when you say “I do”.

Gross.

Urgh – shared email addresses. Shudder.

On a par with shared Facebook accounts (“JohnandAnne Smith” – eeeeek).

For heaven’s sake people, you are INDIVIDUALS. Do you share a cell phone number? No, you each have your own. Email addresses should be the same.

“As some people noted, a shared email is convenient when you want to send an invitation, a thank-you, an update, or whatever to both members of a couple”

but you can simultaneously send one email to two addresses very easily…
