Does your SO know about this site?

[mllebamako]

He knows, and all he's asked is for me not to be too specific about details. Because you know, he wouldn't want people to know that he lives at 1234 Main Street, in Little Town, Florida. Or that his name is Joseph Michael Smith.

(All of that was fictional, by the way.)

Shoot. I was planning on going to stalk him at 1234 Main Street

Yeah my SO knows about the site. But he's not at all interested for himself, not much of an internet man slashhh doesn't have a computer But yeah, he is happy that it exists for my sake but we don't really talk about it. I like it being MY place!

I talk to Brian about this forum all the time but I don't think he has an interest in joining, and as much as I would love for him to for the couples-on-the-forum thing (which is AWESOME) I don't think he's gonna.
but that's fine. when we're together sometimes he'll read stuff over my shoulder and give his two cents, but that's about it.

[Caitlin2009]

she knows i go on it, sometimes i will even tell her about things going on here or ask her questions that other members have posted

[LadyMarchHare]

If my SO knows about this place he doesn't give a hint. I've never told him about it and the only time he'd ever know is through Facebook but I don't think he's seen my page since he re-made his profile, which is fine by me.

Personally I don't want him here as one I don't think this would be his scene and two, I need a place to talk without biting what nails I have in worry he'll read it because I do tend to be mushy and whine here because I know it's an environment I can do so in. To go to him and talk about how I miss looking at his nose 24/7 would freak him out. Plus I'm not sure he'd be cool with what info I HAVE shared (I don't use his real name here, but I talk about his job and such) and I don't need that drama stick. Basically this is my sanctuary on the internet whereas I'm sure he has his own either online or elsewhere. We can have our privacy and 'secret' forums.

He knows I come on here and understands why, but he himself doesn't feel the need to. Tbh he's rarely home as it is, and hardly even goes on facebook. He's usually either working, out with friends, or if he is home he's talking to me or spending time with his family. He's not really an 'internet' guy lol.
He thinks its good I have somewhere to go if i have questions or need help or reassurance with things though

[britt0851]

Nope. He's not a big internet guy. Nowadays, he's so busy he rarely gets on Facebook. It doesn't bother me that he's not on here, in fact, I like it. I can say whatever I want, whether it's mushy or venting, and he'll never know :P

[Stephanieeee]

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeah, he knows. He was surprised to see how...active I was on it though. Im not big on akward social networking, but I made an exception. He's got an acccount, but I don't see him using it very often.

[Zephii]

Obi knows.
When we were long distance he told me he thought it was lame but was glad I had support if I needed it. And hell, it gave me something to do while I was waiting for him to get online, so he benefited too.
Now he sits beside me and sees me come here several times a day and I think he's just grateful I have friends here, because if I didn't, the loneliness and despair would have probably sent me running back home to Australia by now.
We both know he could come here and check up on me, but I don't think he's ever bothered *shrug* It's just not really his thing.

[CynderAngel]

My SO knows and has an account. He's a lurker here, and he mainly just checks to see what I've posted (not because he doesn't trust me or anything; he's just curious). I'm trying to get him to post something about our last visit. I kind of hope he'll get a little more involved with the forum.

[Butterfly]

Thank you all for your responses. Seriously, you helped me so much.

I think for now I am not going to mention it. It's not like I'm HIDING anything.. It seems like so much of my life is so public and out there and shared with EVERYONE and their damn opinions.. lol. It's nice to have a place that is just mine. As much as I love my man and as much we share and are open with one another, I kind of love the idea that I can have a place that is mine.. For now.

I'm sure eventually I will mention it, but for now I'm OK. Because once it's out there, it's out there forever.. No going back!

Thanks again guys!

[Čternity]

Yes, he does. He pops on here occasionally when he is feeling 'nosy'.

[Sano]

I told him about it really vaguely i didnt give him the address or anything. I like being able to say what I want without worrying about him being upset about what I say. And even from the little bit I told him about he was like ' I dont see why you need support when it comes to our relationship blah blah' he's fine not knowing anymore about it in my opinion XD

[rsvpnj]

the bottom of your post sounds exactly like a typical conversation between Eirik and I.... that's just the way we are...lol

[Niecey]

My S/O doesn't know about this site.

He rarely gets online anymore and I surely miss IMing, emailing and chatting on message boards with him.

We talk and text now...online communication is just about out of the window.

[BabyGund]

You know, I just joined, so I haven't really had a chance to figure out this place for myself, much less tell him about it.

I think that I would struggle more with aspects of this relationship than he would; he's done LDR with this type of distance before, and I haven't. So I wouldn't necessarily want him to see some of the insecurities I struggle with...

I almost slipped and told him this morning due to an incredible coincidence mentioned on this board in the last 24 hours - but decided against it.
