So he is reading

Well - my reveal was a bit later than expected.  I had to support a client as they had issues with their year end processing and I was on a call with them from 3:30 until 10:30 yesterday.

So he only had time to read January and part of February.  So far no negative reaction but no comments either.

Tonight he hasn't had a chance to read any because I am working on my computer and he and the 19 year old are doing two separate fantasy drafts on the other laptop.  He can't read between picks because this is not something I am ready to share with my son.

So it may be the weekend before he gets a chance to do some more reading.

  1. It will take a while. 129 posts X 2-4 minutes each, and that's without pausing to discuss, make notes or otherwise ruminate about them

    1. I agree - it will take a while to read and absorb. I found myself sneaking peeks at what he was reading.

  2. Was he surprised? Had he noticed? Sorry I am being nosy :) I am impressed that you could keep this awesome secret for a whole year:)

    1. He was surprised - keeping the blog without him noticing was easy as I am on my computer all the time for work. I actually almost signed my real name at the end of several posts - so I came closer to revealing the real me to you folks than getting caught posting at home.

    2. You may have inadvertently provided enough information to reveal yourself anyway, at least from a data-mining perspective. I follow a blog called "33 bits of Entropy" which supposes you only need 33 bits of information about a person to discover who they are.

      I haven't actually tried to discover your IRL identity so this is mostly conjecture, but I've tallied up the bits and I think there are probably many more than 33. Email me if you want to know more (you can even setup a hushmail account to maintain your anonymity while contacting me). mostly_harmless@hushmail.com

      Btw, love the blog and what you've been doing. Hope your life and relationship continue to get better every year.

    3. If someone wanted to out me they easily could, not sure why they would want to but I think it would be very easy to do. I'm honestly not that worried about it - especially now that my year is over.

  3. Haha I have almost done the real name thing before too.

    Glad to hear it has gone well so far. I think he will be flattered that you thought so much about your sex life together to do this.

  4. Mrs. Yes,

    FYI, you provide enough info to figure out your real-life ID without needing any detective smarts. (FYI-2, after I satisfied my curiosity, I quickly forgot and don't care.)

    "this is not something I am ready to share with my son."

    Given your real-life ID is easy to figure out from your blog and your husband now knows and may talk about it with others, what do you think your reaction will be if your kids find out? Based on what you've said about teaching your older kids about sex and relationships, I don't anticipate a negative response, but I'm still curious what you have in mind.

    Further removed, how do you think you'd react if extended family, friends, or acquaintances from a social or professional circle found out?

    Congratulations for seeing your resolution to its conclusion and becoming a better person and wife for it. I look forward to finding out your husband's reaction and your reaction to your husband's reaction.

  5. I think this is something I can be proud of and would be okay with my friends and family knowing about it. Work might be different but there are way worse things in life than being married and having sex. I am a computer programmer and I know about the things that are here that can lead to me. While I am not going to broadcast who I am and I hope that others will respect that, I am not ashamed of any of this. My older kids know that their parents have a healthy sex life and they find a sense of security in that. However they want no big details as that is just icky. So while I would have no issues sharing this blog with them - they would probably rather not see the details.

    1. I have said it before, you are a smart woman. You're right, your kids probably already know you guys have a healthy sex life, which is great, but they don't want the details.

      For example, I had practically walked in on my parents a few times as a teenager, in the living room, in the kitchen etc...

      And I had the "luxury" of being woken up by their banging in the mornings. So yes, it was good to know they had a healthy sex life, but I didn't need to hear it! haha.

      Same idea here.
