I cracked my ex's email account my guessing her password and now I feel bloody awful about it. What do I do?

Question

I was honestly shocked when I managed to do it and yes, when tipsy I did look at a couple of her privtae emails but now I simply do not want the password - I don't want to be tempted.

I sent an anonymous email from a new account saying that the password has been discovered and that she should change it but I checked a million times and the email never arrived in her account.

Also - I don't want to be id'd as having cracked her email account.

wtf can I do now to ensure I don't get tempted to snoop again?

We parted on very bad terms and what I have done is very, very wrong - please no bitching or finger-wagging: I did a bad thing and I want to make it right.

I drink a lot and don't trust myself to (maybe, maybe) go in and read more though how I feel right now I doubt very much if I would do that.

I only read a couple and then became overwhelmed with guilt and all I have done in the last day or two is check to see if my 'warning: change your password' email arrived.

Answer 1

You should get into her email account and pretend to be her and send all kinds of crazy stuff to her contacts. That would be a hoot.

Answer 2

Forget the password any way you can and shred/delete anywhere you wrote it down

Answer 3

Tell her. You'll feel even more awful if you don't get it off your chest. Or, just don't try to login anymore.

Answer 4

that is awful, you should not do something like that, nobody should get into to anyone,s acctt, if you don,t trust her, then don,t be with her, OR don,t drink so much, you need to be honest, tell her, you are the one that is not faithful,
