Really irritates me when the address is something like Bob and Mary.co.Are you joined at the hip. Can I not message you without hubby reading it?Also annoying ,I have a friend who can't agree to meet for coffee until she checks what he is doing. She is only able to come out for a walk when football is on tv!

We have a domain name. This means we can change our email and internet providers as frequently as we wish without having to inform everyone. They new provider is just registered with the domain company and our domain email address remains unchanged.

I did have a job to get my head around that.

I know one couple with a joint email address, which I do find odd, but maybe they've got their own, too.
