Emzak 01-25-2006, 03:33 PM My husband always knew about "those online sites" that I frequent, but since I've been spending so much time on here lately, he's taken an interest in it too. I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, I want to show off the board to him, but on the other hand, it feels weird to know that he may be reading some of the stuff I'm writing. What do you guys do?
Momma Nessa 01-25-2006, 03:38 PM bri posted on ageless and knows about all my mesage boards. it's like my hobby...
he doesn't really care.
fos4snt 01-25-2006, 04:15 PM Litical is a member of ageless and regularly peruses, even if he doesn't post.
I've edited this post, because he is now a MEMBER here, although he hasn't posted yet. ;) Eventually he might. LOL

skibunny 01-25-2006, 05:54 PM My boyfriend knows... he thinks it's amusing and doesnt care, just like I dont care that he goes on his Broncos message boards and trash talks like a crazy man.
jesique 01-25-2006, 07:11 PM Our apt. is so small that it would take a miracle for Alec not to know that I post on here and ageless. LOL.
Plus it's WAY more fun telling him what I'm posting and sharing things I find funny or cute or when the drama gets good...I love to share that stuff with him!
Like right now...I'm posting and he's asking me if Imma make dinner soon! :D I guess I should!

Annie 01-25-2006, 10:25 PM Ah...nope. I guess I don't mention it because he is sooooo concerned that the age difference is a problem for me. It's not, but I don't think he would see why else I would come here. He's not into online stuff - and neither am I (except for here and Ageless ;) ) but I just don't think he'd get it and it would just increase his worry. I also just wouldn't know how to explain to him that I have virtual friends! :D It's not something I hide, but I just don't talk about it specifically.
Emzak 01-26-2006, 04:32 PM Well, I had to confess to Hubby a while back because going to Ageless leaves a trail of suspicious-looking cookies on my computer (like dating sites or etickle). As embarrassing as it was for me, I'd much rather have him know about Ageless than to have him think I was on dating sites behind his back. :(
Lanners05 01-26-2006, 04:41 PM We actually share and share alike with out online intersts. Right now, he's pretty wrapped up in Myspace so he doesn't do many message boards. He is a member of Ageless, but hasn't posted yet.
What's really funny for me is watching him try to figure things out on message boards or on Myspace! I laugh sometimes, but sometimes it's a bit annoying. He's always asking me questions like, "How do I add a picture?" "How do I change my background?"! It's cute and I don't mind answering him...but sometimes I make him figure it out on his own! I say, "Hey! That's what Google is for!"

missymissus 01-26-2006, 04:56 PM My husband knows I post on here and knows my user name and password, but he never reads anything unless I say I want to show something to him. He's too much into DAOC to spend any time on the net doing anything else. I really dont have any problems with him to post about, so nothing on here would be bad for him to read. If I had posted asking for advice about a problem we'd been having, I think it would be akward for him to read it. So far, its working out just fine.
Emzak 01-26-2006, 11:13 PM Hmmm. So far the consensus seems to be that the bf knows about the boards but doesn't care to read what we write about him, the relationship, or stuff in general.
Now if the situation were reversed (i.e. THEY are the ones posting about US on a website), would you log on every day and read every word? I know I would! :p
Maybe girls are just snoopier. :D

jesique 01-26-2006, 11:25 PM Oh I definately would!!! I'm SUPER nosy! :D

Momma Nessa 01-27-2006, 06:22 AM well my husband knows but my boyfrineds... naw they don't know... not abolut this one... they do tease me about the PINK but i'm botted from there now...
elle.jay 01-27-2006, 04:30 PM My boyfriend knew that I posted on Ageless...sometimes I would tell him about something that was similar to our situation, which I knew was comforting to me, so I'd let him know too. But I don't really talk about it anymore. The age gap never mattered to him, but it freaked me out occasionally.
CeeJay 01-28-2006, 10:22 AM Nope..........He doesn't know.
This is my quiet time, my space to vent...... (if he asked I would share......but I dont want to cause a stir).
His biggest concern in life is that I am going to leave for someone younger. It's not true at all. I want no one else. So with all that said, This is my personal space....just to chat with all of you and have someone to vent my concerns to!
buddingbeauty 01-29-2006, 11:12 AM My boyfriend knows I checked out these sites- he wanted to know why. He quickly realized that as I am such a curious person, I just started typing random stuff into google and happened upon this stuff. He's afraid there are all these negative posts but once i explained to him that it's very interesting for me to hear about all the powerful aspects of these relationships that other people are having (this is a first time age gap thing for both of us...) he worried less.
This is going to sound bad, but I refer to Ageless & here as either a "political" forum or a "womens" forum. The reason being is I tend to be a somewhat private person and I dont care to answer peoples nosy questions...
And I will chalk that up to the "Cougar" thing going on. I do prefer younger men, 5-9 years were my last 3 bf's, I dunno its just seems a more a emotional fit for me. It does not mean though that I will refrain from seeing men my own age or older. Im currently dating a man 56 and Im 46. I dont see it going really anywhere because in many different areas, hes just too old for me. I really see us being friends.
My friends know me and my preference and wouldnt judge about that, but jeese...just the mere mention of liking younger men, either you get the "wey hey go for it girl" or that disgusting "robbing the cradle look". People just cant view it as simple as it is...a preference.
Either way I can do without peoples stupid comments and judgements...
Some Dude 01-30-2006, 08:54 PM I never would have went to ageless or ended up here if it wasn't for Naya. I'm a message board junkie so I had to get involved. She probably regrets telling me about it.
SierraNevada 01-31-2006, 10:23 PM Naw...the man is about to turn 59. He knows something called the internet exists, but I had to teach him how to use email, do some on-line shopping. He still can't use a search engine. If he asks what I'm doing, I say chatting with my mother, brother, or my Linux user group. If I told him I was on a relationship site, he'd freak and get all paranoid about everything I've ever said about him here or on AL (for good reason, he he he). This is one of those, "what he don't know don't hurt him" type of situations.
christina923 02-01-2006, 07:33 AM oh yeah sierra, he best remain clueless
