Does He?

I saw a cartoon in The New Yorker this week which raises an interesting question: Does your romantic partner read your blog?  Do you wish he did?

  1. He does. And he gets mad at me if I do not tell him that I posted a new post. :)

  2. Oh, that's a bit of touchy issue right now! E ain't too happy about the blog but I wish he follows it as he could have made life easy for him this Christmas!

    How was your weekend dear?

    besos,

    Come say Bonjour at:

    20 YORK STREET

  3. He's seen it a couple of times, but I don't think he's a regular lurker.

    Stinky was very amused that I call him Stinky in the blog.

    Apparently, my M-I-L has read it also, but hasn't commented that I can tell. She often types in all caps, so she's pretty easy to spot!

  4. Mine does! I get cranky if he doesn't check it! Hehe.

  5. My Husband thinks my blog is stupid.

  6. My honey reads & comments on mine all the time.

    The basis of my blog is a common interest for us so it isn't a stretch to expect him to be interested.

    I read his too when he isn't too lazy to update it :)

  7. He doesn't. He's not interested in cosmetics. Hmm... do I wish he would read it? Sometimes yes, but then again, I like it this way.

  8. LOL great cartoon. I think I might have used a similar line to Chris a couple of times. My love only checks my blog if I'm out of town.... otherwise he expects me to talk to him about the stuff on it. He'll get a little emotional if I confess on the blog & not to him, which I could understand.

  9. Not really.. I think he'll check it out once in a while but not often. And I don't mind that he doesn't. It's my "thing," and he has his own "thing" that occupies large chunks of his time, so we're understanding of each other.

  10. He knows of its existence. I don't think he follows though.

  11. My boyfriend knows of and appreciates my blog, but I'm not sure how regularly he reads it.

    Cheers,

  12. My husband's read my blog from the beginning - he reads it in the morning. He's more into what I write than the pictures, but he likes to see what I wore the day before (we have very different schedules, so he never sees me in my finery).

    He is cool with it, as long as I don't show his face, use his name or mention/give out identifying details about us. He does his own blog (music reviews), so he understands about the time, etc.

  13. Don't have a sig other but when I was with my ex he didn't even know about it. Not sure how much I would want to share in the future, though.

  14. I think I already mentioned this, but Kyle doesn't read mine because he is usually around when I do life-posts. He will look when I take my own photos or when I am discussing something random. He never reads the Weezer posts or watches the videos because I show him as soon as they come out. lol :P

  15. I'm not actually with anybody at the moment, but I'm going to find it a little weird when I do because I do talk about myself and my life a lot, so surely that would include a boyfriend?
    My parents do read it a lot though (obviously because I'm 4000 miles from home!!) and that can be both weird and kinda cool sometimes.

  16. Hubby will take pics for me but that's about it. He's not a reader, by nature.

    It's really for me and my sister, and sometimes my daughter.

  17. Thanks for the comment on my blog. It is a bummer. That is part of the reason I have a hard time doing outfit posts. My son and Daughter are the only ones who will take pics.

  18. my husband doesnt read my blog, but thats fine (i dont expect him to, but i dont publish anything i wouldnt want him to see, so i dont care). frankly, i have to take into consideration the fact that my mom reads it! :)

  19. Very good question! My partner does not read my blog- he could care less about fashion but to give him credit he takes all the photos so he gets the gist of it! Sometimes I'll just make him listen to me reading the posts if he's in the dog house ;)

  20. no partner, but anyone im interested in is kept far from the blog!

    ReplyDelete
  21. Of course he does. I talk about him a lot you know. Besides, he has a hard enough time keeping up on "news" within the family. That would be things I discuss with the kids, his mom, etc. or that they tell me and I forget to tell him. :-)

    And no, I don't forget to share with him on purpose. I just forget which person I have said what to.

  22. I wouldn't expect mine to be interested in ANYthing on the blog. He likes the idea behind it, though, and is very supportive of mine and Kam's venture! The only thing I care about is showing him the pictures of me so he will tell me what a pretty wife he has. heeheehee I do talk about it on occasion, though, and of course he's helped me take pictures before. He doesn't even have a Facebook, much less read blogs! Some people just aren't suited for it, and it's not anything personal against their loved one, so it doesn't hurt my feelings. :)

  23. My bf reads all my posts and he gets furious if I forget to tell him that I posted. He also follows my stats and the "total views"!! But then again.... I have only made 10 posts so far....!

  24. That's funny! Men have a propensity for statistics as a way to measure success. Just don't let him influence what you write.
