DH doesnt like cafemom

[Cecilias_mommy]

So my hubby knows im on cafemom just as much as im on facebook, and i sometimes tell him bout posts i thought were interesting or diff things like that he doesnt mind or care... but when i told him something i posted about he got all pissy and was saying that he doesnt want me posting our lives in some forum or something like that (i was half listening preparing my argument against it lol) i told him look it gives me someone to talk to when ur sleeping or at work (he works 3rd shift so sleeps most the day) and i told him it sometimes helps getting advice from people that have been or are in similar situations.... he sd hes told me before that he didnt like it (but i dont remember him ever saying it before i told him maybe he thought it but never sd it lol) anyways it just kinda pissed me off that he got so pissy about it, he needs to remember i moved to place where i dont have ANY of my friends and its not like a have a cell phone anymore so im not gonna sit on his parents house phone all day talkin to my friends (we live at his parents until we get back on our feet) i need someone to talk to and i also told him they dont know our names or who we are and also my profile is private.... idk

edit: another reason why i like posting certain stuff is to get an unbiased opinion on something it sometimes helps to have an outsider look in and tell you how they see it

My DH just asked me earlier today, "What IS that website??"

Anyway, does your DH realize that we don't actually know who he is in real life?  Maybe that will make him feel better.

[Cecilias_mommy]

I don't talk to my DH about cafemom very often. It's for women I tell him. Woman stuff.

My DH is just happy if I'm happy. I think he feels left out sometimes =)

If it's something really private, then I can understand him feeling upset. I'm sometimes appalled at the nasty things some women here say about their husbands and if it was the other way around, I'm sure they'd be furious to have their personal business displayed for all to see.

but if it's simply a matter of discussing the issues you're going through and finding people who are in similar situations and vent and talk, then I don't see what the problem is. Remember that men deal different than women when having "issues". We tend to talk about it, find other women who can relate to that situation, ask for advice, but mostly, just sharing. To us, that helps. To me, unless you're looking for an actual solution, talk is useless. They honestly don't understand our need to bond like that. So don't be so hard on him, try to explain that. It's one of those male/female differences that we just have to learn to tolerate and accept that that's how the other person is.

My DH doesn't care, but we rarely talk about CM. I really don't even think about CM when he is home.

My hubby used to get frustrated like that, he's over it now and will actually ASK me what's going on on CM haha. 

What would your hubby think about you posting THIS post?? ;-)

Sorry I am of no help Dh loves that I have people to talk to even though I have no clue who it is Im talking to LOL.

the only stuff that would upset him if i posted are things i wouldn't post anyway.  he does get annoyed when he thinks i've been online too long, but he'll huff and puff and then the second i'm off the computer, he gets on to play his games.  so i usually ignore him.  he's just mad because i'm bogarting the computer with pocket tanks, lol.
