Would You Ever Let Your Guy Read Your Diary?

http://dailycontributor.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Nicole-Kidman-GQ-UK-Magazine-December-2009.jpg
In a recent interview with British GQ, Nicole Kidman said she burned some of her diaries after she married Keith Urban in 2006. Sounds drastic, but I bet it was cathartic at the same time! She said, "You can't read somebody's diary. You shouldn't read it. I burnt most of my journals after I remarried. You're only going to find out bad things." I can understand where she's coming from, but I don't know if I could ever get rid of my old diaries, could you?

I have a few diaries from when I was younger, and I have one I kept for a year in college which is the juiciest read. I love looking them when I'm bored—diary entries are sometimes better than photos. I usually wrote in my diary when I needed to vent about something or when I felt bad for myself about guy issues, so it makes me smile now to see how much my life has changed. There are some entries I would let Drew read, but overall, the emotions in my diary are so raw, I wouldn't want anyone reading the entire thing. That's the problem with keeping a diary though...the second you write something down, there's always a chance someone else will see it. With that said, I would never be able to burn my diaries. They're not that exciting, and it would make me sad to see all my emotions go up in smoke. I'm way too sentimental.

Would you ever let your guy read your diary? Where do you hide it (don't worry...we won't tell!), and would you ever burn your diaries, like Nicole Kidman did, to keep your secrets safe?

P.S. Does your guy know your e-mail password? What do you do with old love letters, and do you keep a dating diary?

    I agree, that one's private life is their own. If there are things in the past that do not endanger your current life/love then they do not need to be brought up.

    Certain things like when i first fell in love with that person,

    best way to express your feelings towards a guy and it might

    make them feel good that they are important enough to be in your

    diary. I would feel so special if my husband let me read his and

    it expressed some of his feelings about me, but than again what if

    you got mad at your husband and wrote some awfull things while venting,

    but no, there are too many things i do not want my husband to see.
