Do you open DH/FH's mail?

Yes, I do. I get home first, open all the mail and sort it, put all the important things like bills in a pile for us to go thru. I weed out all the credit card offers and crap.

It took me a while to do it though- I kind a felt like I was invading his privacy, even though he told me that it was fine.

Re: Do you open DH/FH's mail?

yes I do.....we are aware of all our bills and I'm the one who writes the checks or pays online.

Anything personal, he does

Re: Do you open DH/FH's mail?

We don't open each others mail. Not that we would care but we just don't and I like it that way.

Re: Do you open DH/FH's mail?

No, I don't nor does he open mine except for the untility bills which are in my name.

Re: Do you open DH/FH's mail?

I do because he never ever ever does. It's 85% junk mail anyway, 10% bills and 5% personal, like jury duty for example.

I open it all, and inform him what came, otherwise he would never know what he got.

It's one of my pet peeves so I just do the mail each day and make sure to throw out all non important paper. he knows if an advertisement gets thrown out that he wanted, tough luck because he should have been responsible for it in the first place.

Re: Do you open DH/FH's mail?

Depends on what it is. It it loks like something important, I don't. Junk mail I do.

Re: Do you open DH/FH's mail?

Yup we do, we don't have anything to hide from each other.

Re: Do you open DH/FH's mail?

I open the bills for the house (which are mostly in his name, may even still be one in his mother's name) but not his credit card bills (wouldn't want to possibly spoil a surprise!!!). Toss junk mail for both of us.

Re: Do you open DH/FH's mail?

I do, he hates opening mail so I do it and put the bills in the file and he pays them because he doesnt like the way I do the check book. He doesnt balance it, which drives me crazy so I keep a seperate one and balance it on my own and when he gets confused as to why there is x amount of $$ or not I pull mine out and explain to him that if he does it this way he wouldnt get confused

Re: Do you open DH/FH's mail?

I never get the mail...rarely anything is every for me anyway~

Yesterday I came home and I saw a piece of my mail opened...(it was just a stupid survey) but I kinda stood back and was like "hey why did he open MY mail"

To be honest~ I would prob open his mail if it was something that looked intersteing...and he would NEVER care...

Re: Do you open DH/FH's mail?

Yes...I open all the mail and pay bills. DH gets home first...but he knows the mail is my territory. We even got something from the IRS with his name on it...and he doesn't open it...he waits for me.

Re: Do you open DH/FH's mail?

We open eachother's mail. We only get bills, junk mail or magazines. If we get something personal we respect eachother enough not to open. But, we usually share with one another anyway.

Re: Do you open DH/FH's mail?

No i don't unless it is utilities or from our bank.
Other than that i don't bother.

Re: Do you open DH/FH's mail?

He hasn't opened his own mail in years....

Re: Do you open DH/FH's mail?

Unless its a bill - i don't open my husband's mail...

Re: Do you open DH/FH's mail?

I'll open bills and toss junk mail. Anything that looks personal waits til he comes home.

Re: Do you open DH/FH's mail?

Yes, we open each other mails, we have nothing to hide.

Re: Do you open DH/FH's mail?

Re: Do you open DH/FH's mail?

He opens his mail, I open mine - what a concept!!

Nothing to do with hiding, in my opinion he is a big boy and I am a big girl and we open our own mail...never even considered opening each other's, we both know it comes every day and where it is.

Re: Do you open DH/FH's mail?

I open all the mail

Re: Do you open DH/FH's mail?

So funny this question came up.

Yesterday, DH's ex-wife (no kids and no contact) sent something to the house priority mail. My first response was "WHAT DOES THIS !@#$ WANT NOW? We are married now so can you just crawl into a whole and die? He came home and opened it right in front of me. It was a parking summons from Troy NY addressed to her name at our address (her old house) . She claims she doesn't know where Troy is and asked if DH was there on that day. Ummmmm, Queen of all Dummies, is his name Steffanie? Does he drive a Ford Focus?

If it was a bill (we have joint credit cards) or junk-mail I'd open it. Personal stuff like letters or cards no.
