AIBU to be upset partner changed his gmail password?

[Sunshine2361]

My partner is miserable in his job, he’s desperate for a new one so I’ve been helping him by doing job applications for him. He says he can’t do them himself as he has no time and he doesn’t know how to do them properly. I work full time so I’ve been fitting it in on a morning before work, between doing the school run for 2 kids. His indeed job account is linked to his gmail so to log in, I had to log into his gmail account. I did a couple of applications for him this morning then I came back from the school run and he’d sent me a load of texts saying how dare I access his gmail account and he has changed the password and I am never to access it again. AIBU to be really upset since I was literally trying to help him. I didn’t even go into his emails I just used his log in to access his indeed account

I think what you meant to say was that you are signing in with his "Google account". Not his "Gmail".
If you signing with a Google account, you are correct, you are not accessing his email.
A Google account and Gmail are not the same thing

"But she still logged into his email account".....
No she didn't. She signed into Indeed with his Google account

She didn’t though…..

How old is your partner that he doesn't know how to fill out and submit job applications? What a whiney asshole. Let me guess, you do the majority of childcare too.

It's time for him to do his own shit instead of expecting you to do what is his to do, then yelling because you logged in using his Gmail account to access the app you were using to submit the applications. Fuck that bullshit. If he's so miserable at his job, he should be even more motivated to get off his ass and do his own job hunts and submissions.

Now that he's changed his password, that's a reason to tell him he has to deal with his career from now on. You will assist with nothing.

He was rude and disrespectful and he's using your work to be lazy. He doesn't have time, pffffft. Well, now he does.

Meh, I think you are both overreacting.

Just set up a new gmail and indeed account for him and carry on.Then tell him he’s an idiot because he linked the accounts and you needed to log in with his password.

As for you applying to jobs for him, I think he has clearly demonstrated that he is incompetent by not understanding basic things like linked accounts… that being said It doesn’t bother me that you are doing this. I’m a believer of playing to strengths in a marriage. As long as he’s pulling his weight in other areas I don’t think it’s a problem.

It would appear there’s a few on here that don’t understand linked accounts

he asked you to. apply for jobs for him and thats what you were doing. I think after his reaction I would say you can do it yourself from now on.

Stop doing this job for man baby

She didn’t access his email. Read her posts properly.

This is all irrelevant because she logged in using his Google account, rather than into his Gmail, but I guess it's quicker to write a load of paragraphs having a go at the OP than read her (few) posts.

Firstly, I agree with everybody else that he needs to stop being a twat and do his own job applications.

And while email is indeed private, even though you didn’t actually access it, I’d also be wondering why he’s so upset about the fact you might have seen something in there. A man that treats you like this one way is probably treating you like it in another way too.

Well that one job he’s saved you from having to do
