To be annoyed DP read my MN thread about him?

Or am I overreacting?

Relatively new relationship, 6 months. I sometimes use MN in front of him and he'll usually read over my shoulder which is fine. Couple weeks ago he asked if I post on here, I say yes, then he asks if I've ever posted about him, I tell him yes I had posted a few weeks before that about an issue I've discussed with him and we had already sorted out. Fine. I ask him if he has a problem with that, he says no not at all, he understands and I've spoken to him about it so it's fine. I then put my self in his shoes and think if he had posted something about me on an online forum I would want to read it because I'm a nosey feck. So I ask him if he's going to go and look for it, he replies not if I don't want him to but he's curious. I say it's embarrassing, I'd really rather you didn't look for it but if you really want to know I'll show it to you right now. He then promises he won't look for it. Fine I think. Yesterday I asked him if he searched for it (in a jokey way, not expecting him to say yes) he says yes he had and had found and read it, he thought I was mad at him a few days a go so has looked for it to see if there was anything he could do to work on (I was not mad at him at all) he said sorry and that he'd never do it again. I frequently name change so he only found the one post and that was through scrolling back for ages and reading different threads until he recognised the situation. I'm really quite annoyed but I'm not sure if I'm being overdramatic or not?

Just wondering why posters here would be annoyed if their dps posted about them on an anonymous forum with thousand upon thousands of posters? How likely is it that your posts would be recognised, how likely that your circumstances recognised? How many people do you know who would invest that amount of effort in trying to find threads that might be by or about you?

I cannot think of one person I know whose circumstances have not been echoed on here somehow or other. You can pretty well guarantee that no matter what happens to you it will have happened to lots of other someones before, and will to plenty of other someones after.

Of course he was going to look.

Who wouldn't?

More fool you for telling him you posted and letting him see your NN.

Of course he'd look, he has done nothing wrong.

MN isn't some safe haven, everyone can look, even more so if you tell a person that you have made a thread about them.
