Do you talk to your SO/DH/FI about us?

VikingQueen · January 2012

Like they know us? Do you tell them stories about us and expect them to know who your talking about? I use to do this all the time with C and I catch myself doing it with my SIL and my mom too lol

CnAnA · January 2012

hells yeah i do! lol i will be chatting away and hes like "wait who are you talking about?!"

[Deleted User] · January 2012

Yes, you know it girl! He hears all about my girlies. Every time I'm on the computer or on my phone he asks "are you bumping?" or "are you talking to your girls again?". He likes that you wonderful ladies are here to support me and give me a virtual shoulder to cry on, not to mention many laughs (I'm looking at you Chatzy ladies).

He doesn't even find it weird when I talk about our sex life to a bunch of women who I've never met in person, so that's a plus! What can I say, you're like sisters to me!

delino · January 2012

No no no. He knows that I go on here and how much it has helped me to be a part of this community. BUT he is a blue collar, non-techie, trust no one type of guy. He would be mortified to know the things discussed here. So I just don't tell him...ignorance is bliss.

Allie-Jo · January 2012

Yes! in fact there are a few thing/people DH will even ask for/get updates for:

Petra, you are sometimes mentioned!

Mille's PIP smackdowns (everytime I mention drama he asks if there is a picture post)

Can't think of anything else at the moment

buckeyebaby814 · January 2012

Yes I do! My husband always asks how you all are doing. He also now uses some of our 'terms' and 'names' Wink

angielayne926 · January 2012

Sometimes. He doesn't really understand, but he knows that you ladies have helped me come to terms with everything.

Chame90 · January 2012

He knows I don't hear what he is saying sometimes because I am reading what you guys are saying and I'm apparently terrible at multitasking! Ha ha oops!

ecmleo · January 2012

I absolutely talk to DH all the time about you ladies!

Eveanyn · January 2012

No, I don't tell him because if he gets too interested about what we talk about here he'd probably log on to check my posts. (Just because he's bored and wants an insight to my mind, not for any controlling reasons.) I don't want him seeing the posts where I complain about him. Sometimes I tell him good things and he asks, "Is that one of your girls?". It makes me happy that he knows how much you ladies mean to me.

jenn0021 · January 2012

Ya, I talk to DH about you guys. He doesn't really know anyone by name though. He does know some of our "lingo" and occasionally reads over my shoulder. he tends to get annoyed at how much time I spend on here though.

VikingQueen · January 2012

I love this! I know my SIL could probably pick you all out in a crowd.. in fact she is helping me plot my way to get to who_dat_girl's wedding in March! (That's right.. be jealous Stick out tongue ) I know it's a little different then a SO/FI/DH but she is so happy and thankful to you ladies who help keep me sane when she can't be there for me.

KGS2003 · January 2012

Yes, I do especially when there is drama on the board and I'm wanting to vent about it. He doesn't know anyone by name but he knows about the comings and goings of the board.

I've been in Chatzy some nights too so he knows I'm up to something when m laughing out loud alone in the bedroom.

This, minus the reading over the shoulder part.

maxsom · January 2012

lol. Not a ton unless there's a story I think he'd be interested in hearing.

LEP424 · January 2012

DH knows of you all in general. I sometimes share funny stories or mention drama, but am not too specific. The other night he asked me if I was "Bumping?" and continued to express how happy he is that I've replaced my FB time with something that doesn't make me randomly cry.

All of this. He calls you "my ladies". I try to go more into detail... but his eyes glaze over. So because I don't want to bore him, I don't go into detail about anyone in particular.

He does know tlcW by name. He asks about her all of the time too! But she's about the only one that he "knows".

ktsnshn · January 2012

DH knows that I am on here, and I will tell him about interesting things that go on here or if I am worried about someone from here. He does not know about anyone's screen name though.

My DH too! LOL! He will read over my shoulder at times and if there is something he does not know he asks 'what does FWP mean.' I loved the look on his face when I told him!

bribri81404 · January 2012

All. The. Time! DH will just listen and sometimes comment on what I am telling him about! Cracks me up! It's because I love you ladies!!

cg0112358 · January 2012

I talk to him about the fact that I visit this board and post with people here, as well as the various FB groups I'm a part of. He honestly doesn't understand it but I don't expect him to.

jinxycat24 · January 2012

I didn't at first because I didn't know if he would understand me sharing our losses and how I was feeling with "strangers" on the internet. He started to notice my increased time on the laptop and would ask what I was doing. So I explained TB and this board and all of you amazing ladies. I don't think he totally "gets it" but is happy that it makes me happy.

Although he does give me the side-eye when I'm on here for hours and not paying enough attention to him.

atmidwoodtobe · January 2012

Absolutely. As I learn more about you ladies each day I get so excited to tell him how everyone is doing, and how much support I get from everyone. He's so happy I have people I can go to who understand and empathize what I've been through.

He always chimes in about how ridiculous people are and how we deserve so much better when people come on the board and start drama. Lol.

glaw · January 2012

Yes. My DH catches me on here and asks me what people are saying and what I'm saying. I keep the stories vague - I protect your privacies. Haha. J/K.

RedRose84 · January 2012

Yes I do! I talk more about the board as a whole, not so much individual people. DH always teases me about being on TB so much when I get home from work.

minicheezburg · January 2012

My DH actually sits here with me and I read him tidbits and things. I think it helps him too.

Just had to come back to say THIS, too! My FI does side-eye me every now and then when we're home at the same time and I'm on the laptop too long. He's needy though, lol.

This! He was actually jealous of you guys for a little bit when every time I was on the computer and he asked what I was doing, I'd reply "bumping", but last night when I was making granny squares for our bumpie trade he just got this big smile on his face and told me "I'm so glad you have friends like those girls..." And gave me a big hug...he doesn't know a whole lot of specifics, but I do tell him some of the stuff we talk about sometimes, and he knows how good you guys are for me.

I also don't have a lot of close female friends IRL other than family, I mainly have male friends, so I think its nice for him to see me getting along with other women, lol!
