to think it's a bit sad to tell your partner about threads on MN?

[NewStartInSpring]

I don't really hilarious ones where you're finding it so funny and he'll ask what the hell are you laughing at. Or generally classic threads.

But just from being on the site and reading comments, I've seen a few women say well my DH says this about the subject. When it's quite a mundane and ordinary thread.

Or I even saw someone say they had been texting their DH all day to keep him updated on a thread.

Do people have nothing better to talk about?

I just don't think my partner would ever be interested.

(I think using the word sad might come across as harsh so I apologise, I couldn't think of another word)

YABU.

So instead you are telling MN about not telling your DH about a non existent thread on MN. Wouldn't you rather, for example, have a cup of tea?

It's not that, it's just something I've noticed more and more from using the site.

Women will say well I just asked my DH and he says this etc. Or like I mentioned someone was updating their husband throughout the day about a thread. Or when it becomes part of their every day life.

It's just never occurred to me to talk to mine about MN. No need to be snide, it's just an observation.

I don't mention the sporn threads too often though, that would just be weird.

Not being snide much just a bit perplexed by your logic.

Anyway I tell all and sundry about MN threads in a really pathetic and eager way. I am a proud MN gossiper!

I tell my partner about things I read online all the time, wherever that may be from.

YABU and a miserable cah to boot!

Cah to boot?

I never talk to my DP about MN.

I don't need to share every aspect of my life with him.

Which is probably for the best, usual.

True, Line

He's better off not knowing really.

Linerunner I have just read the xbox thread and told my DH all about it - vested interest!

I didn't believe the X box thread.

I don't believe it either, usual, but my DS is like this so that'll do nicely.

DH knows nothing of my MNing, - it's a shame sometimes really that he just doesn't 'get' chatting to people online because we share a lot of humour in many other ways, - I think he'd enjoy it if he gave it a chance.

oh and OP - you are a stirrer.

::stirs::

I need to have a hotline of PMs to/from people like Usual and LineRunner, - I am so gullible.

Fenton what are you talking about!?!?

Hmm. I only read the first page of the X-box thread, I didn't find it at all interesting. Should I have stuck with it?

Ooh, it never occurred to me that the xbox thread might not be true- prob because I could imagine doing that myself in the same circumstances.

Well it could be true, Fenton. I'd like to think of it more as a metaphor, a parable if you will. Not without value, but possibly not entirely without embellishment.

NewStart this'll all be deleted now

It could be true, I don't believe half of what I read on internet forums though.

So take no notice of me.

I only told him why I coughed my red wine all over the keyboard yesterday. He too had a good laugh about the spiky poos.

I like telling my partner the worst/most gross/most weird bits from forums

I don't think its sad, no. Dh and I also have discussions/laugh about things posted, and I find that's healthy. However, I don't put 'my dh says blah blah .........' when I add comments.

On a slightly different angle, We found MN to be invaluable at the beginning of this year, when dh had testicular cancer. The info other posters gave us, and the support we received was terrific. I feel it helped us get over the darkest times, and for that, I am immensely grateful
