Invasion of Privacy??

My boyfriend gave me his password(s). I decided to check his email regarding one matter and found something incriminating that caused me to confront him. He feels as if his privacy was invaded. I feel that he impliedly authorized any snooping that may result with me having his password.

1. Did I really commit the tort of the Invasion of Privacy? I’m domiciled in NY. If so, can you point me to the correct legal material to read up on it?

2. I also have decided against confessing how I obtained the obscene material. He’s pissed. Should I tell the truth or stand my ground? If I should tell the truth, what’s the appropriate way so he won’t be so pissed?

    Just break up. OBVIOUSLY you will never trust him anyway, and you've ruined any chance of him trusting you.

    Dumb. Dumb dumb dumb.

    Jealousy makes people very very ugly.
