DH's about blogging, nesting and other social stuff

Does your DH get all weirded out by you being on the Nest? I know mine does.  He just doesn't think that it's "safe" to talk about the issues we do on public chat boards nor that we meet in person.  I started blogging when we got pg and recently started a new non-pg one and he thinks that's even worse b/c I spill my guts on them.  It's a great outlet for me though! 

I just don't get what all the nervousness comes from. I don't have my SSN, Phone number of address on anything so it's not like someone could come stalk me even if they wanted to (hee hee - is blog stocking such a thing?). And especially since you are all a bunch of ladies :).  Maybe it's because he's 6.5years older?  Or maybe just because it's not something he does?

Re: DH's about blogging, nesting and other social stuff

  • Nah, but I have *caught* him on here seeing what it is we talk about-he was curious what all the other boards were about.  But, he has a hunting site with various boards that he gets on, and there is one that is law enforcement that he gets on.  So he kind of gets it.  It scares him a little that I would meet up with you girls if I had been able at the last few gtgs.  But that's just because he is a police officer and he is leery of most strangers.

  • no kirk thinks they are dumb, and worries alittle about info that is online.

    i think its a guy thing.

  • ryan does sometimes, but he knows i'm safe. i try to be careful about posting TOO personal stuff, mostly because there is a stalker (quite literally) on the D&R board who has done some nasty things to girls on there. mostly he doesn't think about it :)

    i have been thinking about making a private blog where i can really post how i really feel and think. it would only be for my eyes though.

  • My husband and I actualy first met on an online forum in 2003 (it was for cars, i went to a few of the meets locaclly and from there we became friends) not for a few years later did we figure out hey we like each other... so... i think he is ok with my online activity

    I think the nest kind of caught him off guard cuz all the other forums i belong to are car based ones, and so all of a sudden i'm on a girly forum :p:)

  • never mind.

     

     

     

  • Hmmm, DH doesn't want me posting too much personal stuff, which I don't. The girls on the Phoenix Board get wayyyyy too personal for my taste actually.  Obviously when I lived in Cbus I met tons of Nesties. 

    here in Phoenix, a couple of my close friends are Nesties. Chris and I are pretty good friends with one Nestie in particular and her husband and we are going to Vegas in three weeks for her birthday.

  • My DH just thinks it's funny how I have such a need to get on The Nest everyday or I feel like I missed something. He's always like "You don't really know these people, so why worry if you miss one day of Nesting?"
  • DH isn't necessarily weirded out about my nesting. But, he's weirded out about me putting pictures or really personal info online (ie. a bio, our address, etc.). He's in IT and has seen a lot of stupid things that crazy people have done online (and he's been a victim of ID theft), so that adds to the male nervousness.
