DH or SO's thoughts on the board?

in TTC After a Loss
What does your SO think of the board? Do they know what it's all about or just that you frequent it?

I'm curious to see how they feel. Do they "get it" or not at all? Do they know how much time you truly spend here?

    He pretty much gets it but I think he gets annoyed with the amount of time I spend here.
    Which annoys me bc I can bump and hold a conversation but anything he does on his phone means I get ignored lol.
    What prompted the question?

    DH knows about it.  He used to laugh about TB in general but after how my old BMB-turned-FB-group supported me through both of my losses- he doesn't give me a hard time anymore. He's also not a big "lets talk about our feelings" guy, so he probably appreciates that I have you ladies to vent to, etc and it doesn't all fall on him :)

    I was just curious. I got a FB message this morning and H asked who I was talking to no said one of the board girls. Some of the grads and I are very close. For a long time they (before they had moved on) were all I talked to. I'm friends with quite a few ladies on Facebook and feel really invested in their lives.

    When I had my first loss anniversary and the beautiful ((hugs)) thread I sat in bed and cried with DH while we read the responses. He was shocked that everyone knew so much about me, him, Addie and our lives. He had no idea how active I was or how much I posted. He does now and I'm sure thinks its silly but he's glad I have a support system. He always sees the cards, recipes and gift exchange stuff in the mail and figured its from one of you guys. :)

    He knows I send cards to some ladies and that they are for losses, BFPs or especially rough times.

    ***child mentioned***

    My old BMB sent me flowers with my first loss and then when my second loss happened right before Fathers Day, they sent me a necklace, my daughter a stuffed animal and DH a sports store gift card- it was above and beyond but they said that they wanted to make sure my whole family knew they were thinking about us during such a tough time. I think the fact that they included him really surprised him and helped him "get it".  He knows I'm on the internet all of the time but I don't think he truly understood the relationships that could be built.

    My DH thinks that being here is changing my attitude towards my mc and making me even more sad and emotional... which is a load of shit! This is the only place where I can be myself and feel myself out about this loss. I've told him about how I'm feeling on my bad days etc, and he just doesn't get how you all truly support me (and everyone else!) I actually made good friends with one of the ladies here and we text everyday. DH thinks online friendships are weird (IMO). I, however, love you all ;;) :x :x

    @rslh10‌ mh has also said sometimes he thinks it makes me sadder, so he doesn't always get it. I've since stopped telling him the really sad things. Now I tell him the non ttcal related stuff - he thoroughly enjoyed the July siggy challenge! For the most part I think he's glad I have you wonderful women!

    DH ignores me talking about the board as much as he ignores me talking about work.  He's not interested.  You ladies do relieve him of having to hear too much about my thoughts through all of IF & TTCAL as I keep most of this very private from people I know IRL.  Occasionally, when I mention "the girls online", he will give me a "That's good".

    MH knows, but I'm not sure he really understands or, quite honestly, cares. Sometimes he'll look over and comment on a sig, and he's gotten a chuckle out of some of the funny things I share. He does get frustrated when I'm upset by something online, but that's all of online, not just TB, and it's because I have a tendency to take things really personally.

    I don't know that my SO really gets it. He knows I'm here and that I spend a fair amount of time here, but he doesn't complain. We don't talk about our losses much, so this is really my outlet when I need to talk. I think overall, he's glad I have some support.

    I just asked him, he'd never given me an opinion. He says he doesn't quit get the GIFs or siggy challenges (and at first while I was figuring it out poor H had to do the leg work for me because I have no patience to read instructions, I just want to be shown), but he does find the alternative book titles funny this month. He is glad I have a place to go where people "get it."

    I think Hubby is grateful that I have someone else to talk to about it. I tell him almost everything I think or feel all the time and he is happy to have a break when i talk with y'all. He also said he is glad I have other women who understand what I am going through and can talk with and learn ttc stuff from. He is really cool about it and doesn't even get mad when he asks about my day and I talk about y'all. Sometimes I cry for ladies on the board and he tells me I'm so sweet and caring and that is why he loves me... or i get excited when ladies graduate and he smiles and says yay for them too.

    SO is very supportive. He likes that I "talk" my issues out even if I can't IRL. It's the most outgoing I've been and it's sort of continued IRL too! The touching support of what I went through last year with my breakup and everything since has been so helpful.

    My H is really grateful that I found this board. During the time between when we were going through the MC and the time I found this place, I was a complete wreck and he didn't know what to do or say to make it better. He kept telling me to 'maybe find a support group', but I just didn't feel at all comfortable talking about these things with strangers in person. When I found this board, I was able to open up, and DH has seen what a difference it's made :-)

    H likes that I'm on here.  After our last loss we were discussing what to do next and he said well what does your group say is a good next step.  He likes how much we have learned from being on here because we were like the blind leading the blind. I don't think he knows how much I'm on here though because I never bump when we are together, we have a no phones policy when hanging out.

    My DH thinks my board involvement is one of the many ways I have an "unhealthy" obsession with TTC and loss :( I told him it's one of the only places I can talk about how I really feel without feeling like a huge downer, since so many of our friends are currently pregnant. He said he sort of gets that, but wishes I would talk more to people IRL, specifically him. But I know he would get annoyed with me if I talked as much about all this stuff with him as I do here.

    At first my H didn't really understand that our board is specifically about loss. He just saw me on Te Bump all the time and was worried it might be unhealthy that I was spending so much time on a website that he considered to be, in his words, "all about pregnancy." 

    Now that he understands what TTCAL is, he's really supportive. He knows we've benefited greatly from the knowledge gained from you awesome ladies, and he's happy I have a place for support.
