caress 0 #28 May 27, 2009 Respect demands to put that puppy right back and dont even think to look at the cover again. Thats violating, betraying and flat out fucked up to read other peoples things without their knowledge. I would tell my s/o that I found it, and if I was curious to see what is inside, I would ask then. There is no honor in stabbing someone you say you love in the back by reading their most intiment thoughts. Curious or not, without their consent.-Caress I've learned.... That being kind is more important than being right. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On the other hand if someone were to read my journal they would fall asleep after the first paragraph or so It's not so much about things you "don't want to know" it's about privacy. Sometimes writing things down to vent is just therapy. Good or bad. Be yourself! MooOOooOoo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shotgun 1 #31 May 27, 2009 Quote Love that song. It's a sad song. But it's pretty. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24IfD-0VUu4 Oh, and I probably wouldn't really read Rich's diary.... but I seriously can't imagine him having one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
livendive 8 #32 May 27, 2009 I'd like to say I'd put it back without opening it, but in all honesty I'd probably open it up, read a sentence or two, feel guilty, then put it back. And logic aside, I'd probably assume the whole thing was full of whatever was in that random sentence or two...good or bad. Blues, Dave"I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

KevinMcGuire 0 #34 May 27, 2009 Personally, I know that I am not Columbus. I am not into planting flags or for that matter, intruding into the personal thoughts of others. We are all human and we all have fantasy’s desires. You may not be able to handle what you SO might have been thinking at the moment they wrote those words. Never be in too big a hurry to learn a secret. It might just bite you in the ass. Then again, it may open doors you never thought possible -K Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TypicalFish 0 #36 May 27, 2009 Quote Would you read it or put it back where you found it? You could do what my most recent SO did; read it word for word and take note of every insecurity, fear, or hope that I have for your use against me, and record all relevant details of exes or potential interests for stalking purposes.

guppie01 0 #38 May 27, 2009 Leave it! I have no desire to read someone else's diary, let alone my SO.
