Help! My Husband Refuses to Give Me His Social Media Passwords. It's the Only Way to Move Past What He Did.
Briefly

The husband maintained a secret X account and engaged in responding to women’s posts in ways that felt like emotional infidelity. The couple nearly divorced, and the divorce papers were withdrawn after the husband persuaded his spouse to move forward. Counseling occurred, and the spouse requested full social-media transparency; the husband refused and demanded trust instead. The spouse remains unsettled, continues to distrust him, and contemplates asking to see his accounts or checking them covertly, worrying that would be snooping. Refusing transparency while engaging in flirtatious contact leaves trust unresolved and prevents genuine reconciliation.
A few years ago, I discovered that my husband had an X account that I didn't know about. That's when I found him responding to posts from women. The posts were concerning and felt like emotional infidelity. We almost divorced over it. The papers were ready to be signed, but he talked me into dropping the divorce and moving forward with him.
We tried some counseling, and I asked him to add me to his social media and for us to be completely transparent with each other. He refused and said I just have to trust him like he trusts me. Long story short, I let it go, and we are doing fine. However, this has not been the only emotional infidelity issue, so I'm still concerned and not trusting.
