My husband is aware that I am fond of PB and PSB and, in fact, sometimes use it like a kind of diary. Writing down your thoughts helps to organize them with the added bonus of maybe giving or getting advice from other posters.
My husband (who does not participate in this website) got on here one day and read everything I ever wrote.
He was FURIOUS with me. I might have criticized him, just to blow off steam, or possibly he was unaware of the extent of my drug abuse, which I did try to hide from him (I'm clean now...hurrah for me).
He barely spoke to me for days, and he was so angry that he drove hundreds of miles to spend the Thanksgiving Holiday with cousins he barely knew - of course, I was not invited. I made the best of it by having an "orphan's party" for freinds that couldn't make it home to spend Thanksgiving with their own families, but I was still extremely hurt.
I considered giving up PB, because I couldn't imagine having to edit everything I said just in case my husband decided to "check up" on me. But I don't think that's fair...especially when I'm depressed, there are so few things I enjoy doing, and having him take this away from me is unfair. So I changed my screen name
and hope he doesn't find out.
