I have been outed what do I do?

[Mrswhiskerson]

My dh knows my mm nickname and it is worrying me as I have talked about him on here when I have needed advice or support . If he comes on here and reads what I have written it might cause problems , what should I do ? I like my name and
I don't know if he would ever go looking on here but what if ?
Has this happened to anyone else? What did you do?

If he doesn't know your password, keep yourself logged out.

I thought my SIL may find me when she started coming in here as I stupidly picked a petname we called our DS which was highly unusual. I contacted mumsnet and I think I changed my name and then they changed all my previous posts to the same name. They were very good about it.

happened to me. I created a new username and asked MN to change my old posts to that, which they did. Just contact them and let them know - it may not be till Monday now though.

If I was worried about being outed I think I would value my privacy over a posting name and would change. Or name change for more sensitive threads at least, which is what i tend to do.

I've had some posts deleted that had too much personal stuff in them, mn very quick to remove if you ask.

I found searches for my username on my DHs internet history. Sigh. I had never hidden it though, and he knew I use the same computer, so was likely to see it. Still, I'm more careful now.

contact MN to change your posts. or delete the said threads you want deleting.

Change your name.

Contact MNHQ

I have asked mn to delete certain threads but they haven't yet, of course I know they have lots to do .

I have been posting under this name for a while now and it feels a bit sad to have to change and start again especially as I have had some really nice exchanges with people on here .

I like the idea of mn hq changing all
my posts to one nickname, as far as any problems with dh and certain things go I don't really have anyone in rl to talk too as they are either biased on my behalf or have their own problems ,

Wonder how long it will be til I see

aibu to join mumsnet and find out what my wife has been saying about me , mr whiskerson .

To be fair though that only works if he hasnt already searched and read your posts.

For example, if he has, and you change all your posts, he could just look those posts up again and find your new username. And then continue to follow you.

Hello Dear. I've seen what you've written about me so I'm going to start a thread telling people about your incident with the geese and the Cocopops!

How do you get your posts deleted then? I've been wondering about this as I stupidly posted the DCs names a while ago on Baby Names (under an old nickname) and as they are quite distinctive it would make me easily recognisable. Sorry if there is an obvious way that I've missed!

Not the geese and coco pops ! You swore you would take it to your grave!
I will have to reciprocate with the orange peel and tights incident mwa haha!
Take that mr whiskerson !

Sorry but I am laughing about your dh coming on and saying that

Hope you get it all sorted soon.

Well, my husband read one of mine (after stalking me!). We'd had a blazer of a row and I really went for it.

He read that pretty much 100% of posters thought he was a twat too.

Which, I think, saved me the job of repeating myself.

I'm not changing my username either.

If my Dh wants to come on here and find out what I've said about him I hope he is flattered and if he doesn't like some of it - tough - he should have thought about what he was doing.....so there!

I worry I will be found which I why I change my name every few months...

Hope you get it sorted OP...
