It’s great if someone I’m dating “gets” that I’m a blogger, but I respect her privacy first and foremost. I think it’s just wrong to put someone else’s details out in the open. I always change identifying details in stories I post.

I hear ya. You know, every single person I know in real life knows my blog address and “Huckdoll”. But things are not always perfect. I have hopes and dreams and sadness about times past that I cannot write on my blog. So, I do it in a private blog that will never be found – just to get it all out. I know it’s not really the same scenario, but it does help – and I don’t end up hurting anyone like I’ve done in previous times when I’ve put it all out there on my main blog.

some good issues here. globus has long deliberated whether his blog is better or worse for being anonymous, but in hindsight, it’s more liberating when the blogosphere and real life don’t collide methinks.

i had a HUGE problem when my ex found my blog. he’d read back to a year before we hooked up and obsess about who posts were written about and when i posted something new, he’d pick every word to shreds. i eventually started another one that he didn’t know about so i could write about the stuff i didn’t want him to know. he still reads it and he STILL bitches and moans about what i write. only now, i don’t care.

tricky isn’t it. Perhaps for me it’s diff as i’m a married gal. But i don’t blog about stuff too personal – not becoz i don’t want DH to read it, but becoz i don’t really think the whole world needs to know about it. After all, you’re never 100% sure who is reading your blog.

My ex did get given my blog addie as he wanted to check out blogger and how it worked. Wether or not he’s ever actually read what i write, who knows. But frankly i don’t care. He hurt me badly and if i choose to vent about him (as i have) that’s my perogative. Perhaps becoz he lives on the other side of the world and i never see him makes this easier.

I think you’ve got to work out what works best for you. It’s your blog and it’s about YOU afterall.

The men you get involved with need to know that it forms part of who you are – and they either like it or lump it!

Noid obviously reads my blog…. and yes, there are some things I do not blog about because I never want to cause hurt, confusion or change perceptions.

I think I need to blog about this. LOL

J knows about my blog but he never reads it, and he knows I blog about him but he doesn’t mind. He’s a really easy going guy.

It can be tricky, which was why Glugster and I decided to announce our relationship online on our respective blogs once we decided we were going to get serious about it all.
Blogging about my relationship has never been an option for me though. Not because I don’t want him to read it (and there’s not much to blog about since we don’t fight and have the most awesome… erm… nevermind)

But for me its a case of not wanting to share all of that. There are some things I just don’t blog about.
I have my own seperate completely private blog where I go and vent and write about stuff thats going on- just to get it out of my head- but only I read it. Its where I post the stuff I know would bug me if I posted it on “Angel’s Mind”.
