Privacy & Trust

In a relationship if you ask your partner for their passwords is this a sign you don't trust them

It varies but usually, it can be considered as one.

Maybe something happened before that made you insecure about your partner, so it may be reasonable for you to ask for passwords. But then, what do you wish to do after you get the passwords? Will you monitor your partner's conversations from time to time/constantly or is it just for an emergency purpose? Note that everyone to some extent wants some personal space, even in a relationship. :) You should ask your partner about this, everyone has different opinions about these kinds of things.

It all depends on the context of the situation. Has your partner done anything to betray your trust in the recent past? Do you just want their passwords to calm your own fears stemming from some insecurity with your partner? The biggest part of any successful relationship is communication. So go ahead and talk it out! Tell your partner what has been on your mind, and the two of you can work toward a solution together. Be prepared to compromise. If this isn't a matter of your partner having cheated on you or something of the sort, be prepared to offer up your own passwords to her too.

If your partner did cheat on you, and refuses to work through it with you, then I would suggest you put the relationship into question. Otherwise, do well to try and respect her privacy, especiall if she hasn't done anything to betray it.

I wish you luck.

*"especially" *their" instead of "she"

I would say it is. You and them are still independent and deserve privacy.
