to not tell my wife....

[Greavesey]

I've worked out her username on Mumsnet! [wink[

If a woman had posted that she'd worked out her DH's username on here, there would be post after post laughing with her and thinking up ways to play a prank on him. Or more likely, encouraging her to search through every one if his posts.

But because the op is a man, he's ripped to pieces by some.

Bizarre. If not unexpected.

His wife knows, though Shelly because they have both been posting under the same name on previous threads. Advanced search will show all you need to know.

Ha! I sometimes start to tell my oh something I posted and then stop for this very reason!
