Does your husband know you’re on mumsnet?

[dingodingo]

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

Yes, I often read things out to him to get a male perspective.

He doesn't like it as it's usually , for example

Mumsnet: " my husband didn't take the bins out"
Replies " Dump him"
" Divorce him"
" Red flag"

🤣

yes of course, de facto I gave him some thread on here and gransnet for him to peruse if he wants....he writes limericks lol

Yes he knows and I often talk about / read out things I’ve seen. I don’t think he has any idea how much time I spend here though 🤦‍♀️

Mine knows I use it but tbh he wouldn’t know what it is and what I get out of here. He doesn’t really care about my online activities as long as they’re not OLD or the likes of course.

However I do get the point about him not liking that you discuss him on here. You can come here and vent etc, but why would you tell him? That’s a bit silly (I know you’re probably trying to show him that he’s BU) but you’re essentially showing him being dragged through the mud / being bullied online for whatever reason (and your version of events too). Imagine if he wrote about you from his perspective on Reddit and showed you all the men siding with him. You’d be very hurt.

Yeah he knows and doesn't mind because he never gives me reason to write about him

Yes of course

apparently I should ask my mum, not strangers on the internet.

Yes. I tell him about some of the batshit stuff on here - he finds it funny.

Is this an actual issue in your relationship? I would be telling him to get a grip and stop being unreasonable.

DP knows I play Pokemon with a bunch of people from MN, he finds it mildly amusing, given that I’m 20+ years older than all of them, generally antisocial and male. I sometimes post on other channels, but rarely, and I don’t say anything here I wouldn’t say to him. (Though I appreciate why some people post about their spouse/family/whatever.)

I don’t tell him, he looks across to my phone and recognises the forum so takes my phone and reads what I’ve been saying and gets upset that strangers are being mean about him when he doesn’t get to defend himself

Yes, he does. I often tell him about threads I'm reading, and will sometimes share them with him if I think it's something he'd like to read himself (although he's not a member).
Not sure how to vote...YABU to tell him you are in here? YANBU to be on here, despite what he thinks? 🤔

Ooooh I would put a stop to him going through my phone! Why is he doing that? Do you look through his phone too?

😁 He doesn't like being called out. Surprise that lol

I just said I would book a play session for our baby tomorrow and he said be sure to run it past mumsnet first

I've been single for ages now but when I wasn't my dp knew I came on here and wasn't bothered- once I read a post out to him which was something about the ops dh having skidmarks in his pants and we were both falling apart laughing.

Probably doesn’t like the fact it’s a woman’s site where we (usually) tend to give each other advice on shitty men

Yes mine too.

Yes. I told him I was reading the "Menopausal Smells" thread. He hadn't realised it was a thing. Neither did I but now realise that "Onion Oxter" is definitely a menopausal thing and not unique to me.

Mine knows mainly because I regularly start a conversation with ‘I was reading on MN ….’
I think he would really enjoy a lot of the threads.

I don't know how to vote for this but HE is being unreasonable. What's he scared of and why is it really his business anyway? It's not like you're on Tinder.

I can understand him not being happy about being slagged off on the internet. I wouldn't be happy if my DH was doing that. Sounds like you both need to look at how you treat each other.

yes he does but i wish he wouldnt mention it in public!
he gets it confused with facebook

Same but I'm the avid MNetter not DW.

sorry just read your thread
it is not surprising your dh has this attitude.
