<em>I share an email with my husband, but we each have our own too.</em>

Same here. Of course, he never uses our joint one and I only check it about once a month or so.

Mine never even pays attention to it. LOL

I agree, maybe she does not want to give you her email address.

I agree with this, but I wonder why she even mentioned it??

....because the OP asked. "You don't have your own email address?" The OP wanted to continue the conversation. The onus lies upon the one who questions (OP), so be prepared w/ whatever answer comes about.

The OP didn't ask until the person volunteered that they shared an address. Just wondered why.

She said as she wrote down her address...well, it's my husband's e-mail but we share our address. I said you don't have your own e-mail address? At which time she went into this 5 minute dissertation about why she did not have her own e-mail

Sounds like you were rightly irritated by being asked to forward info she had lost and she was defensive about having to ask and sensitive about not being together enough to have her own email. Who knows, maybe it was her husband who deleted the info. I would go ahead and forward it though just to be kind.

It sounds like you are most irritated by the fact that she didn't keep the information in the first place; because if you were willing to forward it to her, it wouldn't make a difference what address you used.

I wouldn't want to share an email address with anyone. It's not hard to get a throw away free email address. Who uses just one email address these days, anyways?

My husband and I have shared an email address since we got our first computer. I don't understand what the problem is in sharing an address? What's the big deal?

I like my privacy.

I can totally understand how you feel, on both fronts. First about people who ask for info and then don't retain it and keep asking - I end up, at some final point, saying NO. I'm not telling you again because you keep losing/forgetting it, so clearly it doesn't matter to you.

I know somebody like this with my birthday. I've told her, upon request. I've seen her write it down. I've told her a few more times, when she asked and finally the last time I said I'm not telling you again. Geez, some people act like petulant children with no sense of responsibility or social grace.

My husband has done this (not about my birthday of course) and one time I finally told him that I was not going to re-tell him something I had told him numerous times. If he can remember one play in a football game 40 years ago, he can remember something simple that he needs to know and has been told ad nauseam. (maybe even some day he can also remember to lock the door - but I digress) ha!

As for the sharing email part, I have to admit I'm kind of curious as to what the reason was. I hope it wasn't some creepy 'my husband won't let me have my own email address' reason.

I don't think you should have questioned her about the email address. What difference does it make to you? Then you threw it away. So, she gave you the address, expecting you to send her the info. If you don't, she will probably ask you about it. Obviously this woman annoys you, but not sending her the info will just get you more contact with her, not less. You should have just emailed her and be finished with it. Jmo.
