I FORCE my partner to read my blog. She doesnt much like it, but i make her read anyway

My ex used to read my blog every once in a while, like when I started keeping it, we were going out at the time. The problem was, I was censoring myself too much and I really wanted to keep it private and just rant about problems. When we broke up that was his only way to know how I'm doing, and now I just don't tell anyone. Mixing friends and politics just doesn't do it for me. I'd rather that my current partner not read my blog. He has problems looking through my sketchbook. and that's just drawings. I just don't get him involved in it. I tend to make inflamatory remarks and I just want someplace to be stupid.

My hubby, family members and many friends read my blog.  I'm a very "what you see/read is what you get" kind of person.  I maintain a fair amount of anonymity and don't devulge personal info but I do share life experiences, thoughts and feelings.  I enjoy blogging and don't have any problem with others reading.  When I want to write something private for my own benefit, I make it private so noone else can access it.

Yes, every word, though not all the comments.

i love that, sabrina.

As His slave, i have no secrets. None. Every little thing i think and feel is something He's entitled to know and takes great interest in. How else could He take care of me properly? I am the center of His universe, and He, mine.

oh, that's so sexy. you're so lucky, there. *ponders own, sleeping husband, who must be dragged to read my blog unless content is 'naughty' *

Wow, you've made my day and you are now " the center of My universe."

wow. you've just made mine, too. right back at you, stevendedalus !!!!

No, but I do self-edit a bit just in case.

always a good idea, pseudosoldier

Also, in case immediate family members drop by (although that's less of a reason). And, more of a reason, in case certain military members drop by

sounds like prudent good thinking to me, then

I don't have a partner, but a potential love interest was (and maybe still is?) reading my blog for a while which was incredibly off putting. I blame alcohol and infatuation for the lapse in concentration that lead me to tell him the address. Dammit!

but suz, you were so entertaining !!!!! *smoochy*

There are a few other people who read it that I wasn't even aware knew I a had a blog. That freaked me out a lot!

that has never happened to me, but i imagine my reaction would be similar, suz

It's been a while since I've been around, so how's it going mig? I hope all's well.

all is wonderful, suz. thanks for asking ... how about you ? what have you been up to ? (hint, hint ...)

My wife will read the blog sometimes. Normally, if it's an important article, I'll ask her opinion and we'll talk about it.

that seems to be a good balance, myrrander. i need to work on that.

I'm the same as Suz, a love interest reads my blog. I don't know how I feel about it. Sometimes it causes a few problems, because I refuse to gold back in what I say

sal, i say good for you !. if he can't accept you as you are, then sod him ! hee hee ! (i love that word)

I think he kinda likes it. Plus when it comes to writing he is my worse critic, so when he says something is good, I know for sure it is!

he sounds like a reliable barometer for you, sal. mumsy is pleased with your young man !

oh, steve. you do not ! hehe. how is sam, by the way ?

true. that could be another potential problem i didn't think of cinnamonbl0pops

now THAT i can relate to !

jill, i do think you have a good balance of 'personal' and 'life' details in your blogs. i enjoy the way you address 'social' issues in a way that we can all relate to (actually, your article title 'there's an advertisement on my banana' remains my all-time favourite to this day !).

I enjoy blogging and don't have any problem with others reading. When I want to write something private for my own benefit, I make it private so noone else can access it.

good point, jill. i've on occasion done this also. interestingly, i don't take any less pleasure in writing a 'private' blog than i do an 'interactive' one. i treat my blog as my journal, and, like you, if i want to be private, i do so.

  Wow, thanks so very much!  I think I enjoy your blogs because it shows that you enjoy it.  I think this probably holds true for all of my favorite bloggers.

you're so very welcome, jill. my blog enjoyment seems to stem from the same area yours does - it can even be a bit eclectic at times, but it always reflects who you are and how you think, and that's where i find i gain the most insight. you could say i'm a fan of yours .

you could say i'm a fan of yours .

I take that as a huge compliment considering the source mig!  I think eclectic is a good description.  I call my blog More than just mommy because I am mostly a mommy which is reflective in my blogs but I am always thinking of other things which get thrown out there every now and then.

I like the intelligent and fun female voice you bring here to JU.  I think we have a fine sisterhood growing here.  Strong women who stand up for themselves and each other.  Gotta love that!

My parents and my sister have links on their computers to Joeuser, but I don't really know if they read my stuff or not. My mother and other family members request copies of poems, but I think they realize that the rest of it is kind of personal, in a way. I don't write anything that I wouldn't tell someone else to their face, but once in awhile, after reviewing stuff that I have written I give an internal shudder. I often feel like I'm being discreet but sometimes its so obvious whom I am writing about. I'm sure he wouldn't mind, though. We've talked about it half-assedly and I think he finds it amusing that he's once been the object of my affection.

oh, thankyou jill. i also really enjoy the bonds that are growing on here. i think sisterhood is an area that i was lacking in without realising it until i met so many like-minded women such as yourself on ju.

i feel the same way about my blog, jill

it's good that you have that respect with your family, nic. i'm pleased they read your poetry, too.
