Dh is very uncomfortable about it and doesn’t like me being on here.
How do yours feel? If they know

How ridiculous. Is he normally such an idiot?

mumofoneAloneandwell · 08/09/2025 20:16

Why is he uncomfortable about it? 😭😭

LTB!!

Chobby · 08/09/2025 20:16

Yes he does, and he couldn’t care less. Why would it be an issue?

HyggeTygge · 08/09/2025 20:16

He knows all right... I tell him some of the corkers I read on here!

What's not to like? Is it 'spending time online' or is it 'reading what other women think about things'?

The idea that a man could dictate what websites I read... (unless they're extreme, I guess, but then there'd be bigger issues)... just don't understand it.

dingodingo · 08/09/2025 20:17

He doesn’t like being talked about especially when most people on here agree he’s being unreasonable

wtf 😂 why is your husband so weird? Yes my husband knows - he finds Mumsnet hilarious most of the time - especially AIBU 😂

dingodingo · 08/09/2025 20:18

I normally only come on here after an argument and he knows his name is mud

Tough -you’re entitled to discuss things on an anonymous forum. Tell him if he keeps on moaning you’ll tell all his mates and/or his parents instead.

Mine knows as I read posts to him.

GreenAndWhiteStripes · 08/09/2025 20:19

Yes mine knows, he's fine about it.

PermanentTemporary · 08/09/2025 20:19

Yes my dp knows but I wouldn’t slag him off on here or inform him I was doing it.

My late DH was mildly uncomfortable about me being on here and I didn’t rub his face in it but I was more likely to whinge a bit about him.

stayathomer · 08/09/2025 20:19

He knows the name- I’d guess if he knew the ins and outs of it (I spend a lot of time looking at financial/ relationship advice), he wouldn’t be thrilled- I probably wouldn’t love it if the tables were turned (cept the pets stuff etc!!)

he's being unreasonable to think that....

would he generally agree that what you write is an accurate summary or would he be pissed off that you've presented him in a certain light?!

EchoedSilence · 08/09/2025 20:19

I can understand him being pissed off if you use MN to slag him off.

Gladysknightjustwalkinmyshoes · 08/09/2025 20:19

Not DH but DW .I tell her some of the nutty things and stuff I've learnt.
A proud MNetter of five years.

User37482 · 08/09/2025 20:20

Yeah mine knows, I often read stuff out to him.

Randomlygeneratedname · 08/09/2025 20:20

Yes he does know I'm on here and honestly could not care less. He doesn't do things that make me post on here though. I have made one thread about him during our 16 years together and it was seeking advice after he had a pretty horrific accident.

Hahaha. Has he considered, not being unreasonable?

Myjobisridiculous · 08/09/2025 20:22

Mine thinks it’s greats.
Sometimes asks me to ask for opinions!!

Rightandwrong · 08/09/2025 20:23

There's been at least 2 threads on here that I've read where the OP''s H has come on to the thread and tried to hijack it to give his side of the story.
And other threads where the OP.has explicitly said she has had to change user names and alter some facts because she knows her H monitors MN to try and catch her out posting about their situation.
So there are obviously a lot of dysfunctional relationshipz where the H definitely feels threatened by his wife using MN and accessing support and help from.other women.

Ambi · 08/09/2025 20:23

Yes, he drove and picked me up at the MN Xmas piss up in Manchester years back. Good times.

ObtuseMoose · 08/09/2025 20:23

To be fair I'd be fucking livid if my husband was slagging me off online.

Meandyouandyouandme · 08/09/2025 20:23

My exh didn’t like me being on here, the fact he thought he could police my phone and what I do online, is one of the reasons he’s an ex.

Sesma · 08/09/2025 20:26

DH isn't really interested in stuff like that so doesn't care

RoseAlone · 08/09/2025 20:27

Of course he knows and couldn't care less but he does like a giggle at a lot of the total nonsense that gets posted 😄
