Would you be comfortable knowing what you post? Has what you posted ever caused an issue between you and your spouse?
I hardly ever post, so it hasn't come up, but I can see DH being annoyed by a few of the things I have posted about our life.

Yes. No. I generally don't post anything here that I haven't said to him personally. Yeah, i'm that mean.

Dh knows that I post here and all about my "internet friends". He's even met a few!

Yes he knows I post. I talk about the WIR pregancy board ALL THE TIME. No nothing I've posted here has caused an issue. I don't post anything I haven't either already talked about with him or I'm going to talk about very soon. Sometimes I use the boards as a testing ground to make sure I'm not going off the deep end before I bring the subject up to DH. As for lighthearted stuff he told me he's "so glad he could provide amusement my internet buddies".

Dh does know I post here, and I don't think he'd be offended by what I've posted. Unless he was feeling sensitive about his family one day. I still don't think I've said anything about them here that I haven't said to him though. I am also mean.

DH knows I post here and I occassionally show him some choice threads or postings. I've asked him not to join/lurk because this is where I go to bitch vent about things and everyone needs their own personal space.
He's on several pro board forums (some private) so he has his space, and I have mine.

My DH knows I post. I have not shown him all the threads I have participated in. Quite frankly, he's more interested in football.
I try not to post anything online that I would not say out loud to my mother or children. Although my mother and children have heard me talk about a great number of things, so that doesn't exclude much.
I have learned so much from this board that I feel that risk of laying out my personal situation is worth the reward of the information gained.

HAH sits right next to me on the couch when I'm posting at night. He'll ask what my message board is talking about or I will bring up a thread that might interest him.
I believe he's met one of my friends from here. I can't remember if there was anyone else.

DH knows I read and post on the boards. I don't think he cares - as long as I don't say anything that could identify us.
He has his own hunting forums that he reads and sometimes posts on, so he sort of understands.

DH made fun of me when I started hanging out on MSN and on FB. I came home from my sister's baby shower 4 or 5 years ago and when I turned on the computer I saw that he had created a FB account. Oh how I mocked him! Then he started brewing beer and he found himself a brewing forum that he hangs out on. He hasn't made the friendships that I have, but I do like to remind him how he used to make fun of me all those years ago.

He knows and when we first dated asked me to post his budget to get it ripped to shreds (while we were still on msn).

DH knows I post here. He asks that I leave off details that would be easily identifiable or get him in trouble. We talk about some of the posts that come up. BAsically this.

Sure- sometimes the discussions are the basis of dinner conversations. A lot of them make me think, or give me perspective as to why other people think/act differently, and I always like that.
I haven't posted anything I wouldn't want him to see. He's not really into social networking himself- I created a FB account for him with a fake last name (against their TOS, I know) so he could post on a group for people with the same disease he has (polycythemia). He's active in that, but when he asked about accepting Friend requests from other group members and I explained that that meant he'd see pics of their grandkids and learn about their politics, he decided not to accept any.

DF knows I like to read the questions to him and chat to hear his opinions too. He seems to like the invitations to hold court We both have online communities, him on his games, me in this group and a couple extra. He's relaxed and fine with pretty much whatever I'd want to babble about, with the exception of specific project details he's working on. I ask him what's acceptable before posting about those because he works in security. It's a little tough because he's in a transition period and there's some impressive drama (lots of factions at work and among clients), but he always errs on the side of caution.

Actually, DH has met 2 of my imaginary friends that live in my computer. And he was lovely. My sweetie knows I post. I don't think I say very much about our personal life, do I? At least nothing that would be worth him getting upset over? He's met 3 of the mean Pink Jacket ladies and lived to tell the tale.

DH knows about you all, and tells me I need to get out more and make real friends My computer is always logged into here and FB (and several other forums I use), so he could get on it at any time and see what I've said. Same for him with his computer. But I have no reason to go snooping into his business, and I doubt he's gone snooping into mine.

DH and DS (15) know I post here. I started with the WIR years ago on the old boards and they would routinely ask me "What are the ladies up to today?" He has a general idea of what I post here and we do discuss some of the threads as a family over dinner. The thread about the girl that committed suicide after being bullied was a great conversation topic last night and lead to a great discussion with DS. I don't think he much cares what I say on here. He has learned a good bit of what I have learned and that helped get us on the same page. Plus I get Christmas cards for like a dozen of the ladies on here every year too and that would be hard to explain if he didn't know about you all

imawino- not typically- that's not a very smart YM move Besides you aren't supposed to mail cash silly. It's something we started years ago on the no spending WIR thread so they became part of the regular Christmas card list.
What they get is a handmade card (I'm all shades of Martha Stewart at Christmas) and nice note and a pic of my kid.

DH knows I post here. I don't say anything here that I wouldn't say to a friend IRL so I figure saying it here is the same thing but more like a telephone. If he thinks I don't mentions some of the stupid stuff he does, he clearly doesn't know me.

Yes, in fact he used to post here until he started getting stalked. He knows where to find this place and can see what I write. I pretty much tell him what's going on anyway.
