Seattlegirl, your example of a shared email address does let everyone know that both of you will be reading any email sent to this address. But an email address that just contains a last name...and is maybe being read by both members of a couple...that's a horse of a different color. It's like calling a friend on the phone, and not knowing that her husband is listening in on another phone in the house.

Who cares why she doesn't have her own?

I would have accepted it without questioning and forwarded the info....

One of the best and most-clever nics EVAH, chi-town babe.

you only know her slightly to me it sounds like she didn't want to give you her good email address let her or her husband find the information

Sharing is great. Not ""having a life"" isn't. I can't imagine a woman in this day and time not wanting to be independent enough to have their own email! I'm embarrased for them.

The email sharing wouldn't bother me, but the busy excuse does.

As Ive said a million times, when I was married to my first husband, I used to work full time, do everything in the home (and I mean even mow the lawn and wash the cars), take care of 2 kids, cook, clean, run the kids around, and STILL was NEVER "too" busy for anyone.

I just dumped my friend I was friends with from 7th grade. I got tired of her asking us to go out and cancelling b/c she was SO busy.

Busy=I don't want to be bothered...Period!

An old high school guy I used to date (I never called him my "boyfriend") moved down here and started calling me. He always wanted to come over but I only let him come a couple of times. We would have "tea," while he nervously looked at his watch. Of course he was married to a girl who was a couple of grades behind us.

He then started emailing me from his and his wife's joint email address, which I thought was pretty risky (and stupid). One time he called and was angry because I never answered his email. I told him I never got it. He admitted he had to delete it because he was afraid his wife would see it. I started laughing so hard he got insulted and never emailed me again (although he did still call). He finally stopped calling a few years ago when I told him I had broken my back and could he give me $10,000 for medical expenses (he always bragged about being a millionaire). Never heard from him again.

I had several men in my life (not my ten-year boyfriend who was so sweet to me) who had lied to me about not being married. They never got off easy, LOL!

One guy who was a client of the firm I worked for took me to lunch one day and told me the guy I was seeing was at the same Christmas party he was at . . . with his wife! They had both worked for the SS when Ford was president and were then doing different things. The guy I was seeing was a PI. I was horrified because, let me tell you, this guy had me fooled (SS people are really good at subterfuge). Anyway, after telling me that, he also asked me out (and he knew I knew he was married also because I did their tax return!)

Believe me, I could tell you stories, which is why I have no use for most men.
