So if I am an open book my husband is the exact opposite. He is one of those diaries I had as a kid with a lock and key. The key is almost always misplaced so it's hard to open up the diary. Although , those things are so cheap you can use a butter knife to pry it open if you have to.
He is insanely private. He is not into social media AT ALL, and of course I am on Facebook every, single day. I think this makes him nervous sometimes because every once in a while he will stand over my shoulder and read my posts. I have learned though, not to put anything too crazy out there. And then, I shared my blog. I still don't know exactly what possessed me to do it.
So when I started this blog a couple of years ago, it was completely private. I thought of it as nothing more than a journal that I wrote in (which I do often). I was just playing around and thought instead of handwriting my thoughts, let's blog them! So I didn't share this with anyone, even my husband. Fast forward two or so years, I shared my blog.
I had to tell my husband about my blog and that I shared it. I'm not sure why I was so nervous , I guess except for that fact that he is so insanely private. Here's the thing, I don't ever name him or the kids (except for when I went back and read the beginning of my blog, I do use C's name.) The reality is that anybody who has read my blog, knows us and is a friend. If they don't know us and they are not a friend, then who cares? But, I have learned that our friends care about us and they care about Colin. If they don't, then so be it. My husband would say, "It's nobody's business." You're right Honey, it's not. At the same time, it is nice to know who supports us, who our friends are and who doesn't really give a shit about any of this because they are our friends.
So, I told my husband about my blog. His reaction was pretty much what I thought and I don't know why I thought he'd be mad at me (he's not). I emailed him the link so he could read it but suggested he start from the very beginning. I'm curious to know what he thinks. Honey?
