Hi Dorie, this is an interesting post. The truth is, it never made a difference to me if the whole world knew about our relationship or if they didn’t. I have an online outlet that lets the world see me the way I would like to be seen. But also, I always like to see how other people describe me or what they think about me, so reading Rebeccas posts was like a little window into how she viewed me and our relationship. I have a feeling that Brian feels the same way. He probably gets a kick out of learning about himself and about your relationship, from your point of view.

Sure, Brians online identity is based on how you see him, but if he hasn’t told you to stop yet, I bet he likes the way you see him.

I think determining a standard of “appropriate” is respectful and makes sense. We can be transparent and boundaried. We can open up aspects of our lives fully without “exposure” that would damage relationships (particularly important when the information we share is not only about us).

I think this a huge lesson to learn in committed relationships, including friendships.

But, it does require that we prioritize what is most important to us and be willing to protect that which we prioritize. Good post.

What a self-absorbed post. Do you realize that you just wasted like five minutes of every reader’s life to tell us that you don’t blog about everything in your life because your husband censors you? Oh, and maybe your Zeus doesn’t want me on Facebook friends for him. After all, I don’t KNOW him.
