Deleting history? help!!

lexiflexi · January 2011

Is there a way to only delete one website that you've been to from the history on your computer or do you have to delete all of the history at the same? This is going to sound so pathetic, but I'm not supposed to be on public message boards like this... it gets my husband's panties in a knot. I've lurked in the past but I didn't need any of the websites that I visited that day so it just looked like I was never on the computer

Thank you so much for any help!

Pretty sure it's all or nothing. Why is your husband monitoring your computer usage, and why does he care if you're talking about your baby/parenting with other moms?

I hope you can stick around.

I think if you open your history, you can select one and delete it, or just delete all history, cookies, etc... This is in Tools then Internet Options

BFab11 · January 2011

Oh, or you could download a different browser (Firefox, Safari, whatever) and bump from there.

At work I bump from a private browser... on the new internet explorer you can go to tools and choose in private browsing and it doesnt save anything to the computer, no history, etc...

Your MIL dictates you LOs birthday invites, and your DH monitors your internet usage?

Starting to hope this is MUD...

But that would show up on my desktop, right? I'm sure he would start to wonder why I downloaded another browser.

Thank you for all the help! It's too bad I can't remove just one website! But I'll say something like our daughter pulled the plug... I don't know. He's not an IT guy so he won't know.

He doesn't like me on public message boards or any social networking because he thinks I'm going to blabber his family's business everywhere. I don't think saying that his mother is planning our daughter's birthday is any big deal. That, and he thinks browsing the internet is lazy unless you are researching something specific. That would tap into my time that I should be helping our nanny with our daughter, shopping and doing my "hobbies." (aka the things that he and his family want me to do so it'll look great in the Christmas newsletter) He's very old school, but he's very sweet and he has gotten a lot better about being so straight laced.

Thanks again!

I don't mean to flame.. but what doesn't he approve of? Even if he doesn't like such websites I'm sure you are a grown woman who is more than capable of making your own decisions. You shouldn't have to hide anything from him and he should respect that. I'm sorry but this just makes me sad.

sdtchica13 · January 2011

I think you can only delete everything or nothing from your history, not pick and choose.

That being said, you need to tell your husband to eff off. You are an adult, he doesn't own you, and you can bump if you want to.

The end.

It's not that he monitors my usage... it's just that he worries about internet security, and he's a private person. I can understand that, and really he has gotten so much better like I said.

I wouldn't let his mother take the reins so much but that's how the rest of the family lets her be. If I were to say something it would start a war that I don't want to deal with. No one would back me up. She's that kind of woman, you know what I mean?

I'll keep posting when he's at work or I'll post from my phone when I'm out. You all seem so great and I can learn a lot from you all!

Oh girl.. I don't even know where to start with. It sounds to me like your husband and his family have way to much control with your life. I really, really hope this is MUD.

I'm sorry! I didn't mean to make anyone sad! It wouldn't be the end of the world if he knew that I was on this website, but he's very, very private. It's a close knit community and I get tired of the same old ladies talking about the same old things. I thought The Bump would be a nice change of pace. I'm hoping that after I get some tips from everyone and I start using them, I can tell him that The Bump is useful.

He just wants me to spend my time wisely during the day, that's all. It's really not a big deal. Don't be sad!

I'm just saying that he uses this computer as well. If he typed something in the browser that maybe started with "the" and "the bump" came up, he would wonder how it got there. I've deleted history in the past, it's not a problem. I just was visiting a website that I needed the info from. I'll just write it down, delete the history and explain The Bump a different day. No big deal.

On what I'm sure is a very slim chance that it is not MUD.. how in the world could you let ANYONE dictate your life like that? Not for nothing but my MIL can be the biggest beotch ever when she doesn't get her way but that doesn't mean I'm going to allow her to get it. If this is for real you need to put on some big girl panties on. For real.

ETA: I don't mean to flame, really. The things you have been posting just seem very concerning to me, that is all. If you are happy with the way things are then good for you. I just don't understand how anyone could be happy in those conditions which is why I said before that this made me sad.

How much has your MIL done for you? Do you practically owe her your life? Probably not. She loves me and she's done amazing things for me. I don't expect anyone to understand the family dynamic. My husband is caring, sweet, and a gentleman. He has to work on his own issues to separate himself from his family in what he feels is "right and wrong." I said before that he has done much better.

I didn't ask for opinions on my marriage. All I needed was to know how to delete history, and I got my answer.

Just because your MIL has done a lot for her doesn't mean you should let her (or your DH) control your life. Also this is a public message board. Around these parts everyone has an opinion.

I said in the my last post that I deleted history and that my husband doesn't like public message boards. He told me that when I was browsing and he initially saw The Bump. I deleted the old screen name and decided yesterday that I just wanted to make a new one, delete the history until I can "talk" to him about it all. So no, I didn't just start on The Bump yesterday.

You shouldn't have to explain anything.

I know you didn't ask for opinions on your marriage/inlaws, but you put it out there - I have to say, even if my MIL jumped into freezing water and saved my arse from drowning, then carried me 50 miles in the snow to the nearest hospital, then donated a kidney a to me, I still would not stand for it. The same goes for my husband.

You are a grown-up and deserve to be treated like one.

This is what you need to do. First take swimming lesons, then break all lamp posts on the beach, then get your neighbor to take you out on his boat because your husband thinks you can't swim. Then pretend to fall overboard. Then make a whole new life and so on

If you didn't want people passing judgement you should have only asked how to delete history and not add that your husband is controlling.

If you post things like that on a website like this, people are going to be concerned. None of this is meant to be snarky, this is just my opinion, but it seems to be the popular opinion here. First off, there is no way what-so-ever that I would let MIL plan DD's 1st birthday party. It doesn't matter how much she does for me and my family (which my MIL is wonderful and does a ton for us), it's my child and I will be planning the party. Second, your husband sounds way too controlling. You keep saying he wouldn't get mad if he saw it, so why do you even have to hide it? I just don't see how anyone could live in a situation like this, whether it was the husband or wife being controlling.

Especially to the part about deserving to be treated like a grown up. This situation was already sad, but the fact that the OP doesn't see anything wrong with it is what really upsets me.
