person12345 agony auntJust change the email setting to send to you. Explain to him that you want to know when someone sends you a message or something. It's reasonable to want notifications sent to you not him. Besides, if you don't have access to his facebook, he shouldn't have access to yours.

Set up a new email address, and change your address in Facebook. Do not tell your boyfriend the password. It seems easily solved, but it sounds to me his trust issues in your relationship are a far wider problem than the one you have described. Are you sure this relationship is working for you? It wouldn't for me, no way.

Everything you would put on Facebook would be public and anyone would see it (unless you make some security settings to your account) and also of course there are emails sent by Facebook to the email account you are registred with ..emails about what happened recently in your account etc etc (check the privacy settings on your account).

If your life is an open book then you have nothing to worry about but I would not expose my private life on Facebook.

Just turn off your email notifications on FB (under account settings) and you can also change your email address on there too.
