Do you ever feel like you live two lives? Feel like no one really knows you, like really really knows you. I have a couple friends who I can honestly say know everything about me but most have no clue about me outside of the school/work or the family. Hubby and I try and keep our private life private and before I didn't think I could handle it but actually it is working out for the best. When family knows all your arguments they tend to look down at your spouse, and friends can be the same up. Are you an open door type of person or do you keep things to yourself?

In the end, I do have tow lives. My life that is on the Internet and my life right in the real world. In the end, I would like to keep the two separate, if I want to go from one place to the other, I don't want to deal with the consequences of one life, spilling right into the other life. It is just really as simple as that, I'd like an escape if I need to take a few minutes to contemplate my options.
In the end, my private life is what it is, and what I do on the line, is what it is. I have seen too many people get their lives wrecked because personal drama has flowed right onto the Internet, to be all that ease. In the end, that is an individual choice where they have to really make right out there. There are people who make the choice to do what they want to do, as I have made mine.

Very well said. I am wanting to be a teacher and feel like everything I do will be looked at and studied. We have to sign morality contracts and I know the basic reason is for teachers not to have relations with their students. But if a district wanted to be serious enough they can decide what is moral and what is not. This why I feel like I have two lives and I cannot have them intertwine with each other.

I am an open book. When i am upset people know it as well as when I am happy. Being as I am more happy with my relationship than upset. This prevents the feeling like I have 2 lives feeling. Or that I have to keep things from someone. No lieing no trying :)
