How do you think your SO would react....

[IndiBlue]

If he saw your postings on PS?!?!?!

-ek! I don''t think it would be all that pleasant. Not that I''m in the wrong by discussing my feelings, buts the point is that I''d sort of rather him not know.

Curious to know what everyone else thinks.....

He would laugh and tease me... but then he is evil

My BF thinks I''m obsessed, and calls it my crazy website and makes fun of it. I think he gets more worried when we have the Houston gatherings. However, I think he is secretly grateful for all of the wonderful information I have found on here.

 

[Angel7]

He would go,"Are you kidding me?" He already makes fun of me for being on a board that''s dedicated to diamonds/jewelry. He has no idea what else we discuss here!

I got engaged in April, married in September, and am still addicted to this board. My husband just rolls his eyes when he sees me lurking on this site, usually accompianed with a comment like, "You already got your diamond, why are you still on that site?"

I think he''s worried I''m going to hit him up for an upgrade sooner rather than later...

Ummmmmm, my username used to be my REAL first name

but then I started thinking, what if......

Lily...my DH says the same exact thing! "You already got your upgrade, why do you keep looking at that site?" Men must have a one-track mind! LOL

My BF saw me on this site once when I was at his house. He asked what is was about and I told him it was dimond info and forums where people could talk. He asked why was I on it. I fessed up and said for diamond info so when you are finally ready I can pick a quality stone and to talk to other people. He says- I hope not about me.

He would not be a fan of me talking about our situations online, which is why I haven''t mentioned our names and he doesn''t know what my screen name is. Although, if he were to read through the posts, he could figure it out. He would be a bit peeved that I come here to express my feelings and frustrations rather than with him, but then these aren''t topics he really wants to discuss yet so leaves me no choice.

If he found out and complained, I would just tell him "hey, I''m doing this for you... I vent somewhere else so I don''t blow up at you!!!"

''hey, I''m doing this for you... I vent somewhere else so I don''t blow up at you!!!''

That is exactly how I feel too! It''s better (for him) that I vent and complain about not being engaged here rather than to him!

I''m pretty sure that my BF would translate me even looking at this site into feelings of pressure. I''ve not mentioned a thing about it, but I''m sure he could go through the history on my laptop and figure out what''s going on.....Wait till he see''s the beatiful Cushion Cut engament ring picture I have waiting for him to stuble accross....hehehe.

I agree with most of you. I would rather complete strangers know how I feel then for him to feel like I''m constantly talking or even referring to our engagment (or lack there of). It''s bad enough that he''s asked about it anytime we go any where together and the last of his friends to jump the broom.

 

[nytemist]

Unfortunately, I think mine would see it as pressure as well. Since he asked (!!!) if I had an idea of a setting style I liked back in August (and I showed him) he would think there was no ned to be on a diamond site and that I''m being nitpicky about his ability to put together something nice for me.

 

[AmberWaves]

I know that my BF thinks it''s cute that I''m on here griping and hedging my bets on when he''s going to take the leap. But I think he only thinks that because it saves him the griping and badgering. When I watched a girl get engaged on TV last night (my fair brady) I was telling him what the other girls had said here about the girl in the show and how sometimes pressure works, and then he said that he''s going to go onto his "Making Them Wait" site and discuss it with his buddies. I said, "Not Funny" and kicked him. I''m sure he''s going to think it''s cute until I start getting ideas and coming to him about it again.

hahaha, FI has known all about my pricescope addiction since the beginning. holy crap, nearly one year ago!! I consider this to be a good thing though, as he already knows that we are in for lots of diamond purchases in the future- makes this whole med school deal worth it

 

[anchor31]

I may be underestimating him, but I''d be really surprised if he found PS, because his English isn''t very good, and if he was looking for diamond info (and I doubt he is, at least not yet), he would probably be looking at French-written sites.

But if he found them? I''m not sure he''d be happy about it. We''re very open with our feelings and he would probably be hurt that I talk about this to other people and not him, even if I''m really doing this so I don''t whine to him all the time about not being engaged. He''d probably be feeling pressured. I realized after some probing that despite the fact that he talks about engagement/marriage/children all the time, he''s not there yet. He wants to do it and he''s going to, but it might take another year or two. So he''d gently ask me to stop climbing the walls every time he mentions it, to trust him and be patient. Sometimes I hate it when he tells me to be patient... Am I supposed to spend my whole life waiting around? *sigh*

My husband would laugh at me if anything. The only thing I think he hates about this board is that it makes me want more stuff.
