The_Hermit_of_GA Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 This is something I wonder about. Those of you who have regular girlfriends or boyfriends, do you tell them about your use of the forums? Do they log on and read everything you post? Or do you prefer to keep your "second life" here private? Are you concerned about what your GF/BF would think if he or she could read your posts?
LucreziaBorgia Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 My BF knows. When I go to see him, I'll log on and point out funny stuff, weird stuff, etc that I've read and responded to. He doesn't sit there and read everything though. He isn't much interested in general.
Audero Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 My bf knows the name of the site, and I have read some of the posts aloud to him. Not sure I have ever mentioned my username here..... Though it isn't a big secret I am keeping. He just doesn't feel the need to "keep dibs" on me everywhere I go. As for being concerned about him reading what I write here - no, not at all.
peanutbutter2 Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 mine knows and just says "oh god" and gives me a face. :-P and then he makes fun of the womanly things he reads. hehe. he's half playing though he takes emotional stuff very seriously
Pyro Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 Yeah she knows, an old friend of ours spilled the beans to her. She doesn't mind though. She is on myspace, so we are even.
serial muse Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 About two years ago, I made the mistake of casually mentioning the site in a convo with an exBF - it's not the sort of thing he's interested in generally, but I guess I underestimated his curiosity about me (stupid, I know) because he promptly came on here and read what I wrote about him and he got pissed. Ugh. My current BF knows I post to a relationship site, but I haven't said the name of it, because I'm paranoid now. I don't really think I'd mind him knowing, but since my ex got so upset about me posting details that he found too personal, I guess I'm a little gunshy. On the whole, though, I think it'd be okay this time around. Still...my current BF hasn't pushed for more info and generally I just don't bring it up. I suppose I don't post many details about him, either, however, out of deference to the fact that I don't think he'd be thrilled if I discussed some of the more personal things he's told me.
Isabella82 Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 My bf does not know. This website to me is very personal, I prefer him not to know about it. Sometimes when I talk to him about something funny I slip and almost say Love Shack but then I catch myself and I say the radio, or a magazine article instead.. I don't think he would appreciate the things I write here, most of the time I just have concerns about our relationship.
allina Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 My bf knows that I have some online forum i visit a lot but I'm not sure if he knows the name of the site, he might since i often use his laptop to go on and i often stay logged in/leave the site open for hours and hours and when I'm not around.
