Freely posting on the forum ????

[Sheila]

Does having an SO who is active on this Forum limit you freely posting .

Or
if you have an non participating SO on the forum if they joined do you think it would limit you freely posting

[SherriePall]

I voted that it would inhibit my freedom. Since she has adopted a sort of "don't ask, don't tell" attitude, she may not be too happy about some of the things I have posted here.
Now, please don't think I am a sneak or a cad, it's just that she often shutters about some of the things I want to talk about as far as CDing goes. Here, I don't feel embarassed or forward in posting the things I do. Well, most of the time anyway.

[Kate Simmons]

I was wondering about that myself Jess. It'll be interesting to see what kind of responses you get.:happy:

[aka.laura]

To be honest: I would LOVE it! But would she? Don't know. Well, I don't think so. First: she hates computers, can't handle them. Second: dunno, I feel she preferes to keep "things" private. We'll see :D
BTW : GOOD question!

[Valerie Nicole]

Great question, Jess! I went with "no" because I don't really post anything too private or personal here, and if I had an SO who was accepting enough to join this forum, she'd probably be accepting enough to see my posts and to not be bothered by them. :2c:

[Tiffy]

I have no secrets from my SO. I wish she had the time to post here.

[Karren H]

Definately!!! The same way a SO participating in my crossdressing would inhibit it also... Which I'm glad she doesn't btw... I love her dearly but this is the only hobby that I have that is mine and mine only..

[MJ]

i voted no . if and when ever i get that special "so " i my life i have to start being honest form the get go evan here

[Chantelle CD]

I voted no as well, there is nothing she doesnt know, that she would find out about on here:)and nothing i could tell you that she doesnt know about already.

[Sandra]

Seeing as I do post more than Nigella and she can't shut me up here I voted no. :D

[kittypw GG]

I voted no. My hubby is mostly a lurker but I have nothing to hide. If I need to discuss things that I think men would not understand I post it in the gg only section where I can share ideas with women who know where I am comming from. I would expect it is the same for him. There is a gm only section for those sensitive questions that gg's might not understand.
:hugs: Kitty

[Sheri 4242]

"No" and "it wouldn't" both fit my situation. I have a very accepting wife, and she does have a membership on here, but doesn't get on that much. (Too busy with her online shopping -- lol.) At any rate, she frequently asks me about what different threads are most popular, and if one really gets her attention, she'll give me her opinion as to what might should be said -- or she'll log on and give it to you herself! (lol) Maybe some of you will recall in a post or two of mine I have said my wife was reading over my shoulder and giving her opinion -- and giving me my opinion :tongueout !

[Sheila]

Okay I voted no and for exactly the same reasons as Kitty GG.
Also because as he is able to read what I post in the main forum, he knows what my feelings are on certain things, without having to have an in depth conversation over everything.

[Mitch23]

My wife knows I post here but still thinks its a porn site! I would like her to join in and share in some of these debates - and I try noy to post anything that she would find difficult or offensive - neither do I want to talk about her negatively. Shes a great girl trying to cope with something that is completely outside of her upbringing and experience. So I voted No

[terrilynn]

I answered that "It May", I just don't know for sure ,really, what affect my wifes participation would have on my postings here. We also have a 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' arrangement about it. I would hope it would not have an effect, but who knows for sure unless it really happens.

Terrilynn

[Tamara Croft]

I voted no too, she doesn't come here that often, doesn't have the time :(

[Di]

Nothing to hid...free to be me.

[Dixie]

My wife and I talk about what is on the forum anyway, and a couple of times she has gone through and read the posts, I think she may have even used my membership to post but not sure, so why would that change any thing??

[Tree GG]

We discuss many threads & he's met several of the peeps on here. If he had the time & access to be here, I'd probably let him speak for himself more so there'd by fewer "Darlene says....." posts.

Then what would I possibly post about? :eek:

[Marla S]

At first I thought about voting "It may", but on a second thought "No it wouldn't".

I place quite a few stupid posts ... well sh** happens :D ... but in general there is nothing I have to hide.

A complete different question is if I would want that my SO participates at all ... but if I think it wouldn't be wise, I should think about my relationship anyway.

[KandisTX]

My wife knows about this forum, she knows, accepts, and supports Kandis' existence, as does our 11 year old daughter. Not likely to inhibit my interaction here if she were to post as well.

Kandis:love:

[bobi jean]

my vote is a NO. I would love for my SO to start. She is not very accepting of my crossdressing. She does tolerate it quite well I must say, but I feel that if she were participate in this, or a forum like this it would help her to realize that what I do is not all that sick and that there is no need for her to feel sick when she sees that my natural finger nails are longer than hers.
Funny, she often sees me in panties hose heels and the likes but when she realizes my nails are sticking out past the finger tips she about looses it.

ANYWAY NO IS MY VOTE.

Forgot to mention,, Welcome one and all!!!!

[SherriePall]

I see I'm in the minority in feeling that having my wife on the forum would inhibit me. Let me clarify that. She can be on the forum, so long as she doesn't know who I am so that she can read my posts and say, "You didn't tell me you did that last week!" In fact, I would love to have her on the forum, talking with the other GG's because she feels as though I put her in the closet when I told her about me.

[rose382832]

my wife is a member and we often talk about what to post and about posts we have both seen.:2c:

[Kerry Owens]

Ninety-nine percent of the time I couldn't care if Lawren read over my shoulders, but....and that's the rub, one per-cent of the time I'm in GG forum and absolutely it's girl talk.
Thats why I stay outta the tg/srs stuff. Lawren said the future is not going to be tg/srs...but well, just in case. If I find out it is a future event; I'd rather hear it straight from Lawren and work it out with him.

[TxKimberly]

I voted "NO" because you asked if it would inhibit ME. Do I think it would inhibit some people - yes.
For me it is simple, I am not ashamed of what I do.
I do not write things that I am ashamed of.
Why would it bother me to have my wife read my posts?

Kim (just a simple red neck)

[Billijo49504]

Mine doesn't mess with the puter, her choice. She don't like them. Does she know, I think so. She was standing behind me a minute ago, and said I wold check no. But she breings me clothes from work, when they have nice stuff on clearance...BJ

[prettywithsideburns]

If I had one it wouldn't inhibit me. in fact it would make me far less inhibited.

[Holly]

My wife IS a member here, although she doesn't visit much anymore. We have no secrets. Anything she reads here, she's heard from me before.

[nataliecd77]

I voted NO, my SO is on here and posts way more frequently than I do. That doesn't inhibit me in any way, I just by nature am not a overly talkative person. When I don't have anything new to add alot of times I won't add anything. No sense being the 90 th person to say "yeah I've thought that" or words to that effect. But Nic knows and/or has heard about just about anything I'd post about and ALOT of things that I have no intentions of posting about! LOL.
We don't have any secrets between us, so I see no reason to worry about what I say online.

[Carin's Wife GG]

I like being able to post with my SO!


Louise.

[Sheri 4242]

I like being able to post with my SO! Louise.

It is absolutely wonderful to see you posting, Louise!!!!!!! Val and I have been so worried about you and keeping you in our prayers and positive thoughts -- you've been missed around here!!!!!!! And Carin, a BIG tank you for the updates!!! The two of you are a great couple -- and Louise, as I was telling Carin one day when inquiring about you and your recovery, we may have never met face-to-face (yet -- I will add yet), but I feel as if we were kindred spirits -- and I'll bet there are a number of others on here that feel as Val and I do about that!!!!

[Victoria Anne]

my vote is "no" , my wife is a memeber here ( Mrs.M...GG) though she rarely posts but I have nothing to hide nor would I choose to do so,there are some things I posted in the GM forum but if she were to read this and asked then I would talk with her about them. Mrs.M has been nothing but supportive,understanding and encouraging,she deserves my loyalty and honesty.

[Lilith Moon]

...because she might see :D

[Suzie S.]

Jess, I voted It wouldn't. My dear wife knows all about me, and is accepting. She knows I frequent this forum, and doesn't mind at all. I've asked her if she would like to join, but said this is 'my thing' here. She doesn't have much interest in it. She works all day in front of a computer, and the last thing she wants to do is see another screen when she gets home (that's her words, LOL!) :happy:

[Jenny Beth]

I voted no. My wife is fully aware of my participation here, I've saved this site as one of my favourites and she's only one click away from reading anything I post. I'd like her to join but she has very little interest in the computer.

[KimberlyS]

This was a tough choice between Yes and Maybe. But I voted Yes.

And now the explanation. While I did vote Yes, it actually limits me very little, but it does. There are some topics that I may post more on, or may post on, but I do not want to write a hurried post, so I wait to think about it more and they often get forgotten.

Mostly what it does even more than limit me, is makes me look at what I am writing and what I am saying and review it before submitting it. Many of you are probably saying well that is what you do. Well I use to think I did that until the CDing issues with my wife blew up and she wanted to know everything. And I mean EVERYTHING. So she got everything, access to email accounts, forums and much more. What she then did is searched my ID and read and picked apart everything I wrote. I then was often tasked with the explaining of the details. And when details differed explaining why they did. My trust factor was little to none and she was digging for more dirt. Luckily Things are much better now, and my wife does not come here much anymore, but when ever I write I do try to watch the details and make sure things are very accurate, or state as I remember or something similar.

So while it does limit how I write, it really does not really "Limit" what I write. I makes me think about what I write and get the details correct.
