Mail should always only be opened by the addressee. This is just plain common sense courtesy. However, things like known utility bills and other things that are jointly held can be opened by either spouse.

If the mail is addressed to both of you, then you are also entitled to open it and there is no problem. However, if it is personal or only lists her as a recipient (better defined, that you are not listed) then you should try to steer clear, just in case.

Is it legal to destroy mis-delivered mail?
Technically it is illegal to throw away mail addressed to someone else, but here's what I would do: If you ever see your mailman I'd discuss the problem with him. If not, and maybe also, I'd call the local post office and explain you are getting Mr and Mrs so and so's mail and you are trying to stop it. Until then and for a couple of weeks after you talk to them throw away advertising mail and write "RTS-MLNA-UTF" on what looks like legitimate mail. As I understand it this is Post Office abbreviation for "Return to Sender-Moved Left No Address-Unable to Forward". If it keeps coming after that I'd throw it away. Many people throw it away without trying to do anything and I've never heard of anything happening to them, but I would at least try.

If you do this, it will be just like you are throwing away free money that someone else was willing to give you. You need to save them until you use them.
