I have made the fatal error of using DH's pc to MN during the day (I connect to tinternet through his pc so it was easier to do so) Anyhoo... he was posting on a forum nd my thread title 'bloody annoyed with husband'came up - then he freaked and started trying to find out what I had written - etc. etc. he is an intensly private person and if he knew what I had been writing... I would be going through divorce now. He calmed down and did promise not to snoop but I have namechanged as a precaution and will be requesting certain threads be removed by MN towers.

It is all too easy to get carried away and write all sorts of personal thiings down forgetting this is a site that can be accessed by anyone - including DH - must remember never to write anything that might offend him - bugger I might as well stop now

Or else get into the habit of clearing your cookies and deleting your internet history!

should clarify dh was posting on a different site but pc remembers phrases and my unfortunate thread title popped up

haha, i never clear anything, just waiting for my DP to find our private life splashed all over the worldwide web

good advice golightly - I am too scared to post on dh's pc now but will try to get good habits in future on my lappy... never did learn how to cover my tracks - would make crap detective.

what do you think he was about to post that prompted your thread title to come up - "bloody annoyed with my wife"?!?

DP and I share the same computer but have different accounts so our internet memories are different. Phew...

Have to be honest, I have never posted anything that DH doesn't know about on here or anything remotely to do with our relationship. But if something happened that could cause a split, I wouldn't care. It would be the first place I would come.

I don't know what worried me more the fact that dh read something he didn't like or that he would be so incandecesant with rage - that I felt our marriage would be at risk - makes me worried about every little argument and then I ned to spill my guts and I feel my little santuary where I can vent is at risk - oh what a tangled (ww)web etc..

Awwww, one of those Wednesdays looms, not next but possibly the one after, right Darling?

dancingtina · 03/05/2007 21:57

does anyone know how to stop the computer remembering phrases you have written or searched for?

lucykate · 03/05/2007 21:58

dh has posted once under my name, he knows my chatname and password. luckily it wasn't anything too embarressing.

but i wouldn't discuss personal stuff on here anyway, i don't use mn for venting, prefer my real life friends and family for that, no offence meant by that. for me, mn is just for fun.

I think you go to delete cookies - but I am not the person to ask - Golightly seemed to know

thanks lucykate - I love that phrase 'no offence' - always hear it (in my head)in an australian accent for someone reason. RL friends and family are lovely and everyting but anonimity is great for getting to the heart of an issue that you cannot view objectively iykwim - until that anonimity is blown of course

I use firefox which is different - but you can go to tools, options and then privacy, and you can choose an option that deletes your history and cookies every time you close the browser.

Not sure about internet explorer but I imagine there must be a similar option - try putting "history" into the help topic.

bigmouthstrikesagain · 03/05/2007 22:06

funny you mention firefox as dh has just moved to that and I am considering doing the same for my laptop. Deffo will now.

I maon about DH all the time on here.

theres nothing I say on here that I wouldn't say to him, even though it sometimes takes afew days for me to say it.

In the absense on RL close friends(they all live miles away) you all have to listen to my rants and if he doesn't like that then its too bad.
