alli Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 This topic has probably been brought up before, however I've never seen it. I don't show my bf this site because I think he would be curious enough to check out what I say here. Although I'm not hiding anything from him, I still think I couldn't help but not be as candid here if I knew someone who knows me is reading what I say! I know some people are friends in real life on this site, but do you share it with your SO? Link to comment
hiphop3 Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 nope he'd probably make fun of me or get really offended that i need to bring up issues that i have on here. Link to comment
waveseer Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 If I had an so and I was here as much as I am now he would certainly know about it. I would not talk about sexual or relationship details. Link to comment
ghost69 Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 it's an anonymous site. maybe some day, some long ways away when i'm married or something, i'd tell my SO they could read if they want. i don't go into too much detail, but it's anonymous with unbiased advice, so... more than likely i wouldn't tell them.

Mythical_Suicide Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 My fiance knows I come on here, and actually signed up himself at one point but never really posted. Link to comment
sweetooth Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 I don't see why I would. Link to comment
Mavh25 Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 My guy knows, but says he has enough respect to not come nosying at my posts. He has his sites, I have mine. Link to comment
alli Posted December 18, 2008 Author Share Posted December 18, 2008 I feel like I'm lying by purposefully not being on this site when he is sitting next to me or something, but I just don't want to share it for the reasons I already listed. I also don't want to stop coming to this site to avoid that inner-conflict. I probably talk too much about our relationship details, but it usually pertains to advice I give other people. And it's not like anyone knows who my bf is... Link to comment
Rose21 Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Well, I tell him I got to a forum and tell him some of the things I post about, and the responses I get. But I wouldn't give him the name of the site, or show him my posts. Some of them, expecially in the relationship section about him or him and I would make him upset or hurt him. So I leave it best at that. He knows I come to a site, I talk about health problems, things with relationships, etc. But he just doesn't know the "specifics" Link to comment
sweetooth Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Well I guess if it came up in a discussion I wouldn't omit the fact that I come to sites like these, but I also wouldn't volunteer the information. But that's just me. Link to comment
MollyElise Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 My hubby knows about it, but I don't think he's ever checked it out. I wouldn't mind it he did, I'm an open book. Link to comment

He doesn't ask you what the name of the site is? Link to comment
southerngirl Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 My husband knows all about it. No secrets.. There are times I have pointed out threads on here that were posted by other people and had some great discussions with him about them..... =) Link to comment
Rose21 Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 No. And I'm glad he doesnt. Whenever he's surfing the web on my computer, I'm always paranoid that he will come accross the site with my posts. He doesn't mind that I blog and go to a site like this, but if he knew how frequently went here, or how in detail and personal I got about our relationship on here, oh he'd be upset. Link to comment
melrich Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Yeah my wife knows I come to this site. She knows I moderate on it. But best I know she has never ever looked at a single page on this site.....unless it happened to be open on a page when she used the computer. Link to comment
metrogirl Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 He knows and since he doesn't even know how to turn on a computer, I'm not worried that he will find something that offends him. In fact sometimes when he disagree about something he'll tell me to ask my 'survey friends'. For some odd reason he thinks this is a poll site. LOL Link to comment

25thfloor Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 oh...HECK NO! haha! and i would not make friends on this site either! too much personal info that i don't share in person. i like the anoniminity of it all. Link to comment
lady00 Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 I do not. I believe in keeping some things private because I ask stuff about the relationship here. Kinda the same deal as email: he doesn't have my password and I don't have his. Link to comment
Lights Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 My boyfriend knows I'm on here. He has only looked at posts of mine that I have showed him...it's a trust thing that we've always had. He doesn't look at my emails, my texts, nothing. I'd be glad to show him if he asked though. Link to comment
Imprecision Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 I would not tell any girl I'm seeing. In fact, whenever I have girls over, I delete the browser history to ensure they don't stumble accross anything interesting. Sometimes, I'm tempted to delete my account - thus eliminating all my posts in one stroke. However, I've written so many amusing things here - I can never bring myself to do it. I think I talk too much about my personal life. If any of my friends stumble accross this site, they'll probably be able to figure out my identity. That would cause an uproar in my social circles. I feel like I'm doing something risque everytime I post something. Link to comment
blue69 Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 I tell my wife. We discuss some of the topics. Great way to discuss those off topics that usually don't come up in daily conversations. Link to comment

lady00 Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 I would be very uncomfortable if an SO read my threads or posts because they are often about men, dating, relationships. Link to comment
