The texts part depends on your perspective. We share most accounts with my wife because we literally have no secrets and it makes life so much easier. We don't really text, but we also grab each other's phone quite often when it's closer than our own. Then again, we don't really use our phones a whole lot either, a battery charge lasts 4-5 days.

'We?'

That all sounds very odd.

I mean, I don't have secrets either, but if one of my friends from work wants to invite me bowling any scenario that doesn't involve us directly messaging each other seems just convoluted and weird.

Maybe as added context, we have been working together in the same company and team remotely since 2020. We also spend 90+% of the time together, so a scenario you are describing wouldn't happen. We did make separate email aliases as to not confuse other people though :)

I guess it all depends on how life is structured.

I mean, the article specifically talks about parent/child interactions, so I'm sure you appreciate my confusion.

Right. I was referring to the "family" aspect, trying to point out that having full transparency can be both good and bad, depending where you are coming from.
