Her boyfriend at the time was demanding access to all of her accounts, they had been together for nearly 13 years.
I think we can all agree that this is horribly abusive.
You have no right to access your significant other's personal accounts. None.
Your spouse is entitled to privacy. Period.
If your spouse is not forthright about how or where they spend their time, that is an issue; however, that issue may and should be resolved in ways that does not require them to give up their privacy. It is theirs inasmuch as their body is theirs.
I wish people had more dignity than turning themselves into simpering, sniveling cowards, but here we are.
I couldn't agree more. When I first joined the family over 10 years ago, she was.... shall we say in need of some help. With some careful guidance and encouragement, she went from a person who had no drivers permit, to someone who finally got herself a job, a high school diploma, a job, her own car, and some savings. The destructive influence of her ex still lingers as we are having to do with the psychological fall out on the children, but I am sure, given time, they too will become productive members of society.
All though the youngest one is a wild child, so we always say "Saving for both college and bail bondsmen" where she's concerned.
