DH and TN

Last night B and I were checking out cruises for our upcoming vacation, and he mentioned the one Reba and J are going on (exact dates and everything).  When I told him, he responded, oh, that'd be fun.  I have to admit that I was kinda surprised.  It took him a long time to get used to the idea that this group of nesties were "friends".  I guess that it hasn't hurt that I've met a bunch of you, and he's met some as well.  

So I'm wondering, has anyone else's DH changed their view on TN since we last talked about this subject (which I believe was over a year ago).

Re: DH and TN

  • It's taken the secret Santa exchanges, watching Reba's sister on Jeopardy, one of Rayne's emails about her kitchen to realize that you guys were real people.

    Now I just wish we all lived closer. :)

  • My DH has for sure realized all you ladies are my "friends." I got to meet a girl off my october moms board this summer and he got to meet her also. It was so fun and I think that is when he realized how close I have gotten to my internet friends.

  • After seeing Sikes on our honeymoon, he's enjoying the fact I have friends all over. He's super excited to get to see them again in May hopefully! I've also got some play dates in the works with moms from my bump board. He'll come around on anything, given enough time.

  • He doesn't think it's so weird anymore.  I haven't had the pleasure of meeting any of you, but I've met some ladies from TK (and will again on Friday).  He met one of them too.  That and the food swaps and Secret Santa has him convinced we're really friends.

  • I think he gets it now that he's met MO and some of the ladies from GP.  At least, when I talk about you all, he recognizes you as 'my friends on The Nest.'

  • DH use to make fun of me for it until he found himself playing an online game and making friends. 

    He knows most of you by your user names and asks about you.

  • DH is understanding though he still teases me about it. He's come around more since we had a baby and saw how helpful it was to ask questions and get advice from the moms.

  • V knows most of you by name (either screenname or real depending on whether you're on my FB) and asks every day how the Nesties are doing. Granted, he has lots of online friends too from gaming, though he's never become quite as close with any of them. But he definitely appreciates that I have this social group, especially now that I'm home on mat leave.

    Have I mentioned that we're having Mr & Mrs raynes and Mr & Mrs kaesha over for dinner next week? Big Smile

    I'm so excited for this!

     

    Derek's really good about everything.  He's "gotten it" for a while, as I've been doi ng GTGs with ringy and kaesha for quite a while.  We even had someone from TN stay at our place (though that ended up in some water damage on the floor which made him not like her).

    We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?

  • Paul's always been cool with it! I wish I lived closer to all of you so we could meet!
  • I was MIA from the board for a while so my hubby hasn't had as much time to warm up to the idea, but ever since our ss exchange and the thoughtful gifts that I received from a complete "stranger" he's been very understanding of how people who have never met can have a relationship and know each other without being friends IRL. We've actually talked about gtg's hypothetically before and he wasn't sure how he felt about it, I think mainly because he worried he wouldn't be 'cool enough' to hang out with lol Not like that will ever happen though because all you ladies live pretty far away!
