not to want my DH to know my Mumsnet username

Rillyrillygoodlooking · 12/07/2010 22:06

DH thinks that I read mumsnet all the time.

He managed to find my username and look at the (very few) threads I have been on.

I haven't said anything particularly shocking or slagged DH off, I just want to have something private that he isn't going to rootle through.

I have changed my username now but if he reads this he will know it is me.

I am in exactly the same situation with my husband.

And if we all say that, your dh will never know who you are....

NarkyPuffin · 12/07/2010 22:17

Mine too.

BrittanyBeers · 12/07/2010 22:18

And me.

PeedOffWithNits · 12/07/2010 22:19

yup me too

IWishIWasAFrog · 12/07/2010 22:21

Same here. YANBU.

Hubby, if you're reading this, go away!

AnnoyingOrange · 12/07/2010 22:21

me too

SirBoobAlot · 12/07/2010 22:23

And me. Pain in the bloody arse, isn't it? (DP, bugger off )

marriednotdead · 12/07/2010 22:24

Mine too, yadnbu.

Sammyuni · 12/07/2010 22:24

All for one and one for all

iamfabregasted · 12/07/2010 22:24

I was with the ex my ex SIL sussed me.

I name changed

Hope he doesn't twig this one

Hassled · 12/07/2010 22:24

It's like someone reading your diary or going through your texts, isn't it?

My DH does know my name and I don't really care anymore (although I did - sometimes you just want something that's yours) as I think he knows better than to go snooping - but just namechange again if there's something deeply personal you want to sound off about.

sleeplessinseatle · 12/07/2010 22:36

Internet explorer now has 'private browsing' whichh you can open from the 'safety' bit at the top. stops leaving a trail for your hubby.

Mine wanted to know my name too. grr

ManInaShed · 12/07/2010 22:36

DW threatened to join MN the other day.

I have name changed just in case she does.

DuelingFanjo · 12/07/2010 22:38

my DH knows my name on here and he joined too but I doubt if he searches my posts often. He has a life too (and an on-line life) so wouldn't waste the time.

nagoo · 12/07/2010 22:58

My Dh thinks that I too am obsessed with MN, but it's just that I have so many 'I read this interesting thing the other day' things to say.

I wouldn't ant him to know my username, as I like the anonymity of this, and also little does he know it saves him from dealing with a lot of my vexations as I discuss them on here first.

I think it's much better that we are free to express ourselves and perfect our rants vent our frustrations here where no one gets hurt!

I've needed this!

However, if he was to stumble across my username, he'd know it was me straightaway

FrameyMcFrame · 12/07/2010 23:01

I've had this too, DP read some right dodgy stuff I'd written on here about a year ago and an argument then ensued.
I now just can't say anything about him on here...

bluejeans · 12/07/2010 23:02

DH doesn't know my username, and has never asked. My sis and my DD have both asked but I won't tell them - agree it's like someone going through your diary/texts

loopyloops · 12/07/2010 23:06

Same here, in fact I was thinking of posting the very same thing. He wants me to quit MN as he thinks it is really bitchy with "fruitloops who have nothing better to do all day than whinge about men and kids". Who has been listening to Matthew Wright then?

stainesmassif · 12/07/2010 23:07

dh knows my mn name and copied it himself for football manager (stainespassif). i would be very surprised if he searched for me on here. but i tend not to post about personal stuff anyway, so.....

Tortington · 12/07/2010 23:08

tell him you are called custardo.

I'd tell DP safe in the knowledge that he would have forgotten it in about 10 minutes.

He struggles to remember my RL name if I'm honest.
