My husband doesnt have a problem on it. I read other peoples blogs way more than i write my own. He just laughs about how much i am on here. I told him we all kind of think about it as our own personal brand or crack. LOL

My DH has no clue. This is my one and only person space to vent. He would probably be upset that I aired dirty laundy, so to speak, but he would not be able to say any of it was untrue.

BF knew about this site before we were "official" and he is in full support. He sees it as my diary. Anything I want to share with him, I can, but it is my private place to vent or get reassurance, according to him.

This is my secret diary...lol

I don't think you need to feel guilty. It's difficult being a SM and even our husbands can't understand. For some of us, this is our saving grace. It might not solve all of our problems but it gives us a place where we actually feel normal. Our husbands should be thankful we're on here, because the energy has to go somewhere. And I think this is healthy. My husband has tried to look at what I was typing before. I told him until he can listen to me say the same things to him, without him getting upset or judgmental, then I'd prefer to keep my privacy.

My BF knows I am on the site and doesnt really care. He doesnt ask what I post about and as far as I know doesnt come on here. He knows this site had helped me so much and sometimes when we are talking about things I say "well you know some of my steptalkers to this or that" so he knows that I come here for advice about things and that I apply them to our life. I think if anyones partner has a problem with them being on here then well that just tells me that they know they are acting like D bags and are affraid that their SOs are talking to people about things that are going on.

DH knows and thinks this site is full of bitter women and that is a very negative site. He has read some people's blogs and my own and claims that this site influences negatively on me.

My DH knows I visit this site. But he does not question me about it. The views I get on how to handle things on this site are very important to me. So many times I am too close to the situation to see the clear answer. That's what I love about this site. Honest opinions, no bull.

Mine doesn't know. This is my one place to come where I know people truly understand me. I wouldn't want him in on my personal space like this.

DH had some things to say when I told him about the site. Things like "what the hell for?", "what are you telling them?", "Great, now your going to get even more crackpot ideas." Then for a while it was a roll of the eyes when he knew I was blogging. But then he saw the results. He saw that I was more calm and less agitated when dealing with SS14's crap. I was able to just "let it go" because I knew I could come here and vent. Now he doesn't have any kind of reaction about me blogging. I think he saw a positive improvement in my attitude.

MaGoose, if your FH starts to see actual improvements in your attitude and how well you can handle the situations in your life, he should have no more problems about this site.

And for those who have said that your SO's are afraid of the negativity here, look at it like this. We all have negative thoughts and feelings in our every day lives. It's better that the negativity end up HERE than in our homes and with our families. We can RELEASE the negative more safely here than at home.

I told my DH that I had found this site and joined. Informed him that it made me feel so not alone in all of this crazy stuff wrapped up in being a stepmom. He was curious and questioning. Curious about what was posted from others. And questioning about what I could possibly be stressed about. Laughing....that tells me he doesnt hear what I have been saying.
