i think it's all up to you, girly. if you don't want to share it, tell your boyfriend, and tell him that you want to keep it to yourself, not because you want to hide it, but so you can be completely honest with yourself.

My fiancé and I were high school sweethearts, never broke up, and neither of us have ever felt like we needed a break, wanted to see others, etc...we even had a long distance relationship for about a year.

Having said this, we've also been completely open and honest about EVERYTHING. Even if we disagree--which we tend to do a lot because we're both opiniated and hot-headed--we still tell each other the truth.

Don't let his opinions stop you from having your blog, but don't be afraid to bring it up to him, either. As far as not wanting him to read it...I know what you mean! Some of my topics actually embarrass me after I've re-read them (I believe you commented on one of them today, lol)...but at the same time, Matt is always pleased that I'm not trying to hide anything from him.

It's tough but I really believe the best thing is to be open about it, and, well...see what he says. :) Good luck!

You can always set your blog on private or protected or even friends lock, that way you don't have to worry about random people reading your personal stuff.

well I have a different case. My blog is basically only for people I know IRL. If people I don't know happen on it, I don't really cater to them when I write. I've always linked my blog every now and then to my current bf, even before we started going out, but he's not too interested in it, even though he follows several dozen other blogs daily. 

i think my friends and i are some of the only people that still use xanga as a sort of social network to keep up with each other's lives. therefore, my last boyfriend had a xanga too, and we read each others so i never really had that problem. 

Just to touch on the first paragraph, blogs can be private or protected, so it's more of a controlled diary and public website in one.

I don't really think it's the end of the world if you don't tell your significant other you have a blog; it kind of makes me think of having accounts on certain websites but not telling the significant other.  However, if you feel like it's a big deal, then you're probably just obligated to tell your SO, conscience-wise.  Personally, I wouldn't make anything public if it meant making a significant other look bad, even if the words are meaningless after the rant.  But if the blog was kept secret from the significant other and not to the general public, I suppose I could see how that could hurt.

@Angelina_Everlong@xanga - I found one of my worst enemies xanga's. She didn't have any friends on there, and she seriously spilled her guts about everything on her blog. If I was the type of girl to throw all of her embarrassing feelings and mistakes in her face, I would have had enough ammo to keep going for months. Luckily for her I'm not that low.

I have a very personal journal that I keep.  I vent, I express myself, I'm completely honest in there.  Do my husband know?  Yes.  Do I want him to read it?  No.  Do I have anything to hide?  No.  I trust him.  He trusts me.  But there are some things that should be "private" to us.  Just because we're in a relationship don't mean our partners need to know every little detail of how we are feeling.  When it's necessary, yes.  But when you're venting, getting your frustration out, and it's nonsense stuff, not really.

If you want to to tell him that you blog, do so.  But if you're not comfortable with him reading it, also tell him that.  You can still have a relationship when both of you are completely honest with each other and respect each others privacy at the same time.

Nobody should feel "forced" to share every little detail with their significant other because they're in a relationship.  That's were TRUST comes in.

My guy has always known I had a blog but only recently did he ask to see it. I was a bit nervous but I gave him the link and he did come and read it. We have no secrets and so it was just natural for me to share this with him too. He's not entirely comfortable with the idea of me sharing my feelings with the world. He's Indian and apparently in his culture even family members don't share a lot with each other. In my family we have no secrets so this is one step for him into my "world without walls".

If you can tell him about feelings for someone else, you can tell him about a blog.

If I'm serious with someone I might tell him but also asked him to respect my privacy and not read my blog.  Them again, I'll be subconscious about what I write from then on because he might be ready my blog secretly.  Ok, I will tell him I have a blog but don't tell him what's my user name.  It's only for me and only me to know.  I regret telling few of my friends about my blog before I start writing serious personal things on there.  Oh, those posts are put in private so, don't even bother looking for them.  You only get to see the tip of the ice burg.

my boyfriend amazingly found interest in my blog . he said it gives him something to read when he has nothing better to do . and that gives him an idea of how i feel on particular days .

Well, no, you're not obligated. My SO knows. Only because I chose to tell him.

Sometimes it helps me express things I might not be able to say directly, or it sparks interesting conversations that I might not otherwise have with him.
