Is this a secret?

I'm just sitting here wondering how many of these husbands/biological fathers know we do this. Would it be beneficial to let them see our true view of the situations we've gotten ourselves into?

Yes this is my secret, if you will Smile I need an unbiast place to vent and talk with other people going thru the same emotions and situations as me. I wouldn't say anything here that I haven't already said to my hubby, so I do have a clear conscience about that. But I don't feel that making the whole blended family situation more difficult than nessicary. My hubby knows the situation. I don't need to make him feel worse than he already does about some of the issues that we are faced with. I want to be his support person.

Well you see my hubby is also a step parent of my two girls and he needs to vent also .Its not like I am writing things he has never heard before..I think open honesty is very important in any kind of relationship,What I am trying to say is the lines of communication have got to be open if any kind of a growing (relationship wise) is to develope! You are eather on the same page or you are at odds with each other ..Develope a UNITED FRONT for your sanity and even in front of all children!!! Life will be alot easier on some levels. Well I hope I have not hurt anybody with what I have just wrote..Thank you all for this site It is a wonderful place !!!!!Becckilou.......Life is way to short, Give love that was never given to you and always laugh out loud( it just feels better)!!!!!!

I found this site so amazingly insightful, I had to tell him about it. I think in the begining he was worried it was like a my space, but once he saw you are all real people with real family issues, he saw the light. I have had him read some things some of you sent to me.

You are all like my arsonal. You have no idea how much some of you and your situations have helped us.

On behave of BF & I , thank you.

He's even posted an anon comment a time or two. No, not one of the BAD ones. Smile I don't mind him reading anything I write. He's already had to listen to me recite chapter and verse a million times already to his face, so it would be nothing new.

He thought I was looking for men LOL! No just other people in my situation that can understand. There is a bad understanding of what being a step parent is supposed to be. Everyone who isn't in our situations seem to think we are supposed to give up everything for our partner and his kids. EVERYTHING including our needs and our dreams. Sorry not this woman.

My DH is not a big respecter of personal space or privacy..I hate it and find it sooooo rude when some one comes up behind another person on the net and just starts reading what they are writing or snooping..He does that to me all the time even though he knows I can't stand it and it irritates me..

To be honest, I dont' care if him or his family finds me on here..Alot of the things I say or complain about on this site have already been said to him..I am honestly to the point that I just don't give a crap enough to try to hide it..

He knows, but he hasn't read what I say on here. He's glad that I have somewhere to talk about it because it keeps it from becoming a recurring topic of conversation between him and me.

But like so many others, he doesn't care. I actually tone it down for all of you and sometimes I even tell you first. That makes him happy because by then I have gotten most of the anger out of my system and I can talk to him a little more calmly. Besides, what choice does he have? I'm going to do it anyway. Love all my kids.
