Does your H/DP know you post here?

[Orchidlady]

Just wanted to know how many of your H/DP's know you post on here. Have seen several posters mentioning discussing with otherhalves which I think sounds really healthy. If my dp knew he would go beserk, am I minority?

it depends what you are discussing in fairness.

If you are discussing his faults and how he treats you (if bad or wanting advice if its bad) then yes, my DH would get pissed off but if you are discussing things like sexual stuff then no.

My DH knows i post on MN and on Relationships but not my username as im always changing it lol

I don't really want my DH to know how much time I waste spend on here . Sometimes I want to refer to something I have seen on MN so I have to say 'I read XXX in the paper'. In fact I don't want anyone to know I am on here !

I am always saying 'i read this on MN' and 'i read that on MN'

Everybody knows, but then I dont really post any thing remotely interesting secrets.

DP knows my nn, and the mn friends I know in rl use my nn more often than my real name.

Oh fuck no, he doesn't (we're divorcing) but tbh, I wouldn't tell him anyway, this is mine, mine, mine!!!!!

Yeah my DH knows!

I said in another thread this afternoon that he refers to is as 'timeaterdotcom' or 'timewasterdotcom'

There's been a few times when I've/we've wanted an opinion on something and I've said 'oh i'll MN it'

(hello mizzy,thanks for your advice the other week )

My husband knows i post on here because I get helpful answers to health questions, advice re life situations and also directions to a take that concert. He doesn't know (only because I don't tell him) anything personal I put on here but if he did he would be relieved that I was getting some help/advice although if I was talking about him or about our sex life i'm sure he wouldn't like it. And of course I would name change if I did .

my dh and I have shared this account for years. we post interchangeably, but if there is a meet up, I go.

DP does and he wouldn't care, because he trusts me. In fact he jokes about the fact he's resigned to the fact that any relationship he has with me is really between me and the whole of mumsnet . XP used to get really pissed off about it though. He said I was turning everyone on mumsnet against him and was really paranoid about it. This was probably because he is paranoid and controlling, but also because he was treating me badly, and I think he knew it, he just didn't want me to.

I hope the advice helped a bit.

DH and DC's know and approve.

DD is going to be a mumsnetter when she grows up (she says).

None of them know my username, though.

sorry that your DH wouldn't like it Orchard :(
DH knows and I show him threads sometimes - especially when I've talked about him

he also knows my nn - I know he would never come on here without my knowing, and he is very understanding about it all (he knows I've got some brilliant advice on here)

Yes DH knows I post on here any really funny posts I will tell him about (usually the ones in AIBU)

Yes, she knows I go on MN but is of the opinion it's just to tell each other about special offers in Marks and Spencer.
I do read out some of the posts out if they are interesting or funny, but otherwise she's not really interested in what I get up to online and vice versa.
And obviously we got our Take That tix from a lovely MNr so she knows there's more to it than sharing Ocado codes.
Funnily enough she did ask if I was "out" on here, and was it a problem. Yes, and no.

She doesn't know your username then? :o

Yes my DH knows I post on mn.

no he doesn't, but then if we had a healthy relationship I wouldn't be on here talking about him
It's only a secret because I have so many problems with him, if I was just chatting about potty training or toddler tantrums, I would tell the world

I stop myself from talking about MN to friends in case they ever find me on here.

Yep, he thinks I am bonkers for doing so.
He thought I was even more bonkers for meeting up with some lovely Mners as well

Fair to say he doesn't get MN.

Don't think he knows my username, he wouldn't look/search in any event.

DP mostly approves of my MNing - he gets to choose what goes on TV (Mythbusters), I learn useful and/or interesting things, and it kept me sane while writing up my PhD and having no people to talk to.

DH knows my username too.

Trillian I would say the usename would give it away Gay
