Trying to Get Pregnant
Cross my fingers hope to die!
I just saw my DH's post he made last night....I swear to you ladies that it is not me being a double agent! I also told him to just lurk around if he wanted to see what this was all about, and wait to post, but he got carried away. It really is him though. If anyone recalls I HATE AE's all of that MUD. I don't enjoy the drama on the posts and even initiated a post a few weeks back now about ignoring all of the drama posts and not posting anything to them. So anyway you can believe me or not, but it's the truth. He's just really interested in this process, if anyone remembers he's the one helping me do my FF account and inputting the information etc. and he as well has no one to talk to about it but me because we're not telling people. So I hope he is welcome, and I am still also. Thanks

Re: Cross my fingers hope to die!
I don't see why you wouldn't be still welcome....
But I still don't believe you entirely....
No offense
but it's kind of unbelievable (and I've been on thebump long enough to have seen several "apologies" and "explanations" exactly like your's)

I know, and with all of the MUD on here there is no way to really prove it to you guys. I just hope over time it becomes apparent that it is really not me!

I honestly didn't think the MUD was that bad.. just more awkward when the OP's SN showed up with her "husband's" response....

Yeah, this is the kicker for me. You will be getting the side eye from me for a very long time.
I find it impressive that your husband (?) used Bump lingo (TTC, DH)....
When mine walks by and sees that I am on The Bump he is like "Good gosh are you on the frickin' Bump again!?" He would never, and I repeat NEVER be caught dead on here, much less understand all the lingo!
Wait, wha? What in the world did I miss? I was at the hospital until after 10:00 last night. I must have missed all the action.
Exactly. I didn't think it was really him from the first post. I mean, come on, "he" used LOL. Yeah right.
Really? That's why you don't believe it? I know plenty of men who spend a lot of time on message boards, etc and they definitely use general internet lingo.
Also, if he is involved as she says he his with all of this, then his use of the appropriate terminology is not all that strange.
eeachen - I may be in the minority here, but I believe you. I thought that his tone/wording and your tone/wording were different enough for me to believe that it was two different people.
My husband is a mod on a ford explorer forum and he is constantly on his board. Which may have been why this board was so interesting to him in the first place. He and I usually sit next to each other and talk about posts and such back and forth and when we LOL we ask each other what was so funny. So he hears the posts etc. frequently.
Also, he knows that people are supposed lurk and learn before they post, so using the bump lingo was his attempt to follow the rules in hopes that you ladies would take him seriously as well. But as I said before believe it or not, he's actually that interested in conceiving and wants to learn as much as he can about the process.
Also, aren't most of you automatically logged into your bump account when you bring up the website? We have one laptop and one desk top. The lap top is mine , and he uses the desk top. Last night he was using the laptop in bed, bumped, got onto his ford explorer site, and then back to the bump and I was automatically logged in. Anyway, believe us or not, there is a guy on the bump who wants to do more than just hump!
Couldn't resist.
OK you convinced me!
It is still hard for me to believe that there is a dude out there who willingly chooses to swim in the estrogen ocean known as The Bump! But kudos to him for being so involved!

My DH frequents a PS3 message board and he is used to internet lingo as well. He likes to read posts over my shoulder and has gotten used to the TTC lingo here. He always wants me to post something snarky because that is his personality (not mine) and I just laugh at him and tell him to go away.
Hopefully he won't get the bright idea of ever posting here...but I feel for eeachen and I do think she is telling the truth.
That was my first thought when he posted accidentally as her yesterday. I felt so bad because KNEW that a ton of people would jump all over her and call it MUD.
I believe you and I think it's adorable that he's so involved. MH still thinks it's weird that I feel a connection to people I've never met...but he uses forums too! He claims that he's met those people before the boards though...oh well.
As far as I'm concerned you and your ExplorerGuy are more than welcome!
I''m the one that first noticed (probably since it was so dead at that point last night) and posted the confused post. I didn't think it was MUD or drama or anything, I was just sitting there thinking the wine I had was playing tricks on me. Your DH's explanation made sense, and I believe you completely. Never thought it was a big deal, don't get all worried about it.
Why on earth would you bother with an AE? And if you were I'm sure you'd be more clever about it than to reveal who you were like that. Obviously the simplest explanation here is the truth. And my DH is on forums, and loves LOL cats so he too would be totally familiar with LOL and a bunch of other internet speak.
The thought never even crossed my mind that you were pretending to be DH. I thought it was sweet and refreshing that a husband wanted to learn as much as he could to support his wife. Mine would probably lurk a lot and not post because he's shy, but he is defiantly equally as interested. Some H's get freaked out by all the TTC inside info, but some are really interested in it because they like to learn about it so they feel somewhat in control of the situation, just like we feel with charting and OPK's.
TTC and DH are two terms easily picked up on from reading just a little on the boards. Context clues help you infer, I buy it. Even if it WAS a rouse (and I dont think it was), it wasnt rude, or dramatic so it would make no since to do it in the first place. Anyhow, Explorer Guy I would personally love to see more of you on here and think it's a great way for you and your wife to connect. A lot of times women will go shooting/ fishing/ watch sports/ go to car shows/ ect to connect with their dh's, maybe this is just his way of trying to connect with his wife on something she enjoys and something that could be helpful in procreating.
Anyhow, that was my 2 cents.
