I have nothing to hide. Never have. But I respect people's privacy, and I expect the same in return. The thought that my significant other has to be somehow involved in EVERY SINGLE THING I do is baffling to me. I would not be flattered...I would be offended.

My motto - expect the worst and hope for the best.

*shrug* I think this is the essential difference. While I've been very badly hurt as well, I don't feel the need to be in control. I don't want the upper hand... I just want equal ground.
