I used an email I share with my husband to contact my cousin for help?
It would help if we had some inkling what Husband is angry about. Is it because he thought you were compromising his e-mail? This possibility makes me have some kind of mixed feelings. On the other hand, your simply having used his e-mail to contact a relative to renew your passport, a perfectly legitimate reason, does not strike me as a reason to get mad. Does he know its shared e-mail? Was that the agreement you guys had beforehand? Its not difficult for you to have your own e-mail, either via G-mail or one of the other web services or most ISPs allow multiple sub-accounts. (I have, personally, at least five e-mail accounts: an e-mail that is technically shared with my wife (she rarely uses it), an e-mail that I set up recently for notices regarding electronic financial accounts, an e-mail that is for my office, an e-mail I set up for our son (which I dont use but do monitor), and one that goes with my iPhone, which is what I normally use for personal messages to the extent I dont send these via text or FB Messenger.) So is it: Does he has something to hide in the e-mail account he doesnt want you to see? Obvious potential (with the emphasis on potential) issue there. Does he simply object to the notion of shared e-mail? If he didnt know you thought the e-mail should be shared, thats probably a communication issue, and it is appropriate and easy enough to just make up your own account if he objects. There is nothing inherently wrong about spouses having their own e-mail and social media. In fact, I think that should be the norm; you arent giving up your existence as an individual by getting married. Does he have a problem with you contacting people other than him for help with things? Thats not a good sign, because controlling and jealous behavior can be a precursor to abusive conduct. Ill be happy to edit or elaborate upon receipt of some additional detail.
