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)

IIRC OP came back, said that she and DH needed to have a 'life-changing discussion' (words to that effect) and she was going to ask for the thread to be deleted. So nothing good I assume

I think half the threads on here at the moment are made up.

I also never spoke about mumsnet to xp, I would have felt daft about it. I also can't imagine he would have been interested. 'I read this on a mumsnet thread' would probably be as dull as telling someone what you dreamt last night.

That said, I tell my daughter some of the teenage goings on. And she really doesn't understand why grown women call each other atrocious cunts for a joke.

I really dislike 'my dh says' on a thread.

When I was on mat leave often the only thing that happened was a good mumsnet thread so if tell dh when he got in.
Tbh he often asks me if there are any good threads.
It all part of many other conversations we have.

YABU. MNers are the only adults I speak with all day long, if I didn't share these conversations with DP all we'd have to talk about would be the colour of DD's nappies and there is only so far that can take us in an evening!

I've just seen on another thread where a poster, rather than come on with her opinion, has just offered her DH's.
This is what annoys me, chatting about a thread with whoever you live with is fine.
I don't have a partner, just my ds who's nearly 18 so has some valid opinions, but he has no interest in MN and I've never read him a thread.
