Do you share it with your partner?

Secret - Keeping secrets
July 17, 2007 6:40am CST
You know how it is, when person finds such a personal pleasure, sometimes it can be really hard to want to share it with someone else. It’s selfish, but it just seems so much better keeping it a secrete than to allow others to not only know, but to have a share of it. So I was wondering, do you share Mylot with your partner/spouse? I don’t, I like having this site all to myself to share about him, the kids and myself. It’s like my little get away, I reckon. While I keep no secrets from him or he from I, I just rather like having this place without him. Kind of like he likes “hanging with the boys” without me. So what about you? Do you share Mylot with a partner/spouse? If so or not, do you feel this enhances your Mylot experience or has any effect on it all? ********************************* I read, rate and thank all. :oD

Actually he knows all about it and he could also log in if he wanted to - but that would not make him any good since he doesnt speak english at all *ha ha ha* so i guess it is a secret after all - a secret he knows about *LOL* I also like to keep it to myself - I prefer that noone around me knows that I am here and therefor I havent referred any friends either =)

When I first started doing mylot, it was very much "my thing". However, the more I got into it, the more I found myself talking about things with my husband that I had been talking about on mylot! He started coming on to the website to look around just so he'd know what I was talking about, and at that point I asked him why he didn't just get his own account and actually participate. The idea of him participating in mylot then became exciting to me, thinking how many times I had seen discussions that I wondered what he would think about! Sadly, even though he now has an account here, he hasn't become a very active member. We do still talk about discussions that we've seen here, and we often talk about certain members here that I am close to, so it's become kind of more a topic of discussion in our household than something he actually does. I still maintain that one of these days I'll get him more interested in it. =p

Oh that is wonderful and sweet. I do find myself sometimes discussing things with my hubby from here as well. Funny how this place can stick on ya. Well I say keep trying with hubby, I know you are a heck of cool person and I am sure if you picked him, he has to be too. :oD

no 'cause my partner does't have internet at work. At home is very busy and is tired to have a look to the internet. He searchs and look only for very important things of his own work. I read and rate rate all my friends post here in mylot when I'm not full of work.

Yeah hubby when home, likes to work on his interests on the net, like computer stuff, tools, science things like that. He wouldn't be interested in this at all. Thanks for the response!

Yep sure do. He has a mylot account, he very very rarely uses it though. Not because I don't want him to, but because he's just not a computer person. Hell if I don't remind him or even do it for him his e-mail would never get checked. He also has a myspace account that maybe gets logged into once every few months. Its actually kinda nice not having to give up my computer all the time though.

Oh that is were my hubby being a computer geek pays off, he made us both our own computers and hooked us both to the net. So I don't have to ever give mine up. Man that is worth more than gold to me.

My hubby is not much of a computer person either. I guess thats why he partly doesn't understand what I do here.

My husband knows that I post to here and sometimes when we are hanging out in the computer room together he watches me type as we talk, but I just don't think that Mylot would be something that he would be interested in participating in. He is one of those types of people that loses interest quickly, so he may have some interest the first day but probably wouldn't come back and post again from there. For that reason, I haven't really shown him around the site, what all can be here, etc.

I tried getting her involved so she could have some fun a make some extra dough but she didn't want too. I enjoy it very much for social reasons, I like to share things I enjoy with others especially those who I care for.

I know why, she knows how addicting mylot can be, she's very wise. LOL

Well I'm not exactly sure what you mean by share...He doesn't have an account on here but I do tell him funny stories or weird stuff, ect. that goes on here. Really it wouldn't bother me if he had an account but he's got his own boards he likes to mess around on and he does his own thing. So it's nice like that too :)

I have reluctantly, partly shared My Lot with my husband. I say reluctant, as I knew he would say it was crap. He at first thought I was on some chat room, chatting to men. It took me quite awhile to explain that it was a forum, & not a chat room. I knew I would have this hassle with him, so I didn't really want to tell him much. I still go on My Lot when hubby is home though, like I am right now.

I share some of it with my boyfriend but not all of it. I also think of MyLot as a place to get away for my home life and be with friends. Most of the time he is on his computor doing his thing and I am on mine doing my thing.

I don't share this site with my partner. But he does like to ask what am I doing because I'm all into this site. He wants to know. I just laugh and say nothing its just one of my forum sites and someone just posted something interesting. Then he'll just say OH OK and I laugh to myself. :)

My hubby has walked by the computer and seen me on Mylot but he doesn't really ask about it. I guess he figures the longer I'm typing away on Mylot the less I'm bothering him, lol.
