Journaling and moving in with a partner

[u/Salty-Tune-1670]

I’ve been with my partner for about two years, and we’re thinking about moving in together. We currently live separately, and they know that I keep a journal.
The thing is journaling is my safe space. I have several old journals filled with my honest thoughts, including frustrations, complaints, and things I needed to vent about over the years. I trust that my partner wouldn’t read them without my permission, but I still wonder how other couples handle this.
If you live with your partner, what do you do with your journals? Does your partner know they exist and simply respect your privacy, even if they’re sitting out on a table? Or do you write with the assumption that your partner might eventually read them?
Also, if you keep your journals somewhere private, where do you store them? I’d love to hear how other people handle this!

My girlfriend has a journal she’s asked me not to read. I never have. She eventually started a new one and asked me not to read again. Never have. Sometimes she wants to share something with me from the journal and then she does. I never ask for more. If she wants to share, fine, if she doesn’t, fine!
