That you come here?  My SO has followed me to a couple sites and I feel so invaded.  I'm not trying to be sneaky or do anything wrong, but at times I like to post about the issues he and I have and get some feedback.  He absolutely hates that I do that.  I feel it's better than talking about the issues with our f2f friends since no one here really knows us personally.

I found this site and so far I only access it at work and not on our home computer which we share.

Am I wrong?  Does your SO/DH know about the places you post on?

mostly everyone knows where I post.  It keeps me from being able to totally bare all.

Especially here at DT because if you google me this is where I pop up.  I know some people at work have done that before and it makes me feel kind of 'funny' but at the same time there's not really any anonymity anywhere on the net so I try not to let it bother me.

Everyone needs an outlet, as well as privacy!  Reading your journal is just plain wrong.   

I get what you're saying about needing an outlet and how in a weird way, sharing everything with faceless strangers who could pass you on the street without any idea of who you are feels safer and less revealing than sharing the same things with friends you both see regularly.

My BF does not know - this is for me.

My sister does know - I'm sure that makes it awkward sometimes when we want to post on issues that affect both of us.

Maybe it's just a male thing, at least the ones I have known. They don't need to talk thihngs out like we do, so it intimidates them to know that other ppl know "THEIR" secrets. I guess I can see the concern, some ppl do get rather emotionally enmeshed from online chats. BUT I tell my DH, if you're doing your job, and we are connecting on a regular basis (emotionally, you know), then you have NOTHING to worry about. I can't imagine going out on him, but there was a time when I would have. Today I know he's not going anywhere, and if he's talking to someone else, there is something else going on, either between US or them.
