Last night I was sitting on the sofa surfing the web. I flipped to S-talk. A few minutes later my wife sat down next to me, said "what’s that?", and proceeded to read through the thread I was looking at. It was the "Let's Torment the Bio's" thread.

She loved it and laughed at many of your comments several times. When she realized that I had initiated the thread she whacked me on the arm, said "RAGS you are such an instigator", got up and walked away chuckling.

Later she said "I can see why you enjoy that place, tell those ladies I told them not to let you get too lippy and to keep you under control ".

Whewww!!

I have shared things from S-Talk with her periodically over the years but this was the first time she actually sat down and read content for an extended period.

Best lippy and out of control regards,

OMG you are very lucky!! my FH would kill me for this type of thing; he thinks my thoughts (like everyone elses) are stupid and crazy! It would be nice to show him I AM NOT ALONE and that feeling this way is normal.

That's a great story! I walked in from work the other night and my DH said "okay steptalker you ran up my wireless bill to 275$!" I said "what?!"

Apparently, he can stream as many hours as he wants but he can't upload/download or something crazy like that....oops!!!

Yeah, I don't let my H know about this either. He would blow a gasket.

He is a VERY private person who expects me to be that way too. He gets mad if I tell my coworkers where he works or what he does for a living!!

But in my case, I am the IT person so I am the one who can clean my tracks!!

My hubby knows I am on steptalk and very happy about it - he says I am not so stressed all the time and I actually have gotten some really great advice on here and told him I got it from here - he has noticed the difference and loves it. Smile

Yup. My DH just knows I have a site "like FB for stepparents" where I vent. He knows it must be helping, because the amount of complaints he now gets are few and far between, and are handled in a more rational manner. I would hate for anyone to read it. In fact, when I got on, I realized it hadn't logged me off. I'm hoping no one found it while I was gone today....

This is for me. It helps so much. I try not to be too personal or give too much info, but I need a place to let it out. Some of this step- parenting crap is just too unbelievable for anyone outside of this realm to understand...

My DH knows and is okay with it. He even jokes with me sometimes when i get to typing really fast on the home laptop. haha! Smile It has come up in fights but I refuse to give it up because for once, i've found people who actually understand. That in itself is such a huge relief. Most people just don't get it, and never will.

Rags, I love reading your posts - you tend to be very straight to the point and rather old fashioned, reminding me much of my father, which i know i told you before. i'm glad your wife is supportive, although i'm sure if she read some of the things, she may not be, but hey, the truth is the truth, right?

Thanks for sharing. Smile

My DH knows about the site and I have told him some of the advice I have gotten here and we have implemented it and he said last week that one of the things in particular is working out great in his opinion and he's glad I have people to give us ideas. He doesnt mind me venting here at all because it means I vent at him less (haha). He's never asked to read any posts and we have seperate computers and he has never asked to use/see mine or for my password. He learned in his first marriage that sneaking and violating someone's privacy only can hurt you. So he respects my space and my privacy.
