H knows about WC. I tell him when exciting things happen (I totally told him about you, HoneySpider, and how excited I was when you posted about your BFP. And the other BFPs we've had around here lately).
I also told my H about the pregnancies, but he wasn't as excited as I was, lol. He know about the board in general but not a ton of details. I tell him things from here of its really interesting, funny, or related to something we're talking about.
I talk to him about some things, show him things occasionally. He actually posted once on TTTC, but I told him that was weird and he never did it again.
I've mentioned posting on a board, which he understands because he posts on a sports related forum, but I've never mentioned a specific poster, story, or scenario.

I'll mention different topics that come up or sometimes specific posters. He's on a message board too so sometimes we'll compare what gets talked about. His board is mostly guys so they talk about some weird stuff sometimes.
He knows I post here often and that you are all "real" people lol. He is now less convinced that everyone is a 40-year-old man living in their mom's basement.
He knows a bit? He knows I post and I tell him stories sometimes, but he wouldn't know any specific posters. I participated in secret santa, so he knows that at least one person has our address, lol. He was a little skeptical when I told him I was going to do that, but he ended up being fine with it
My H knows. I tell him if something is funny, interesting etc. he wouldn't know anyone by name even though he's heard them a few times. He thought it was super weird at first but has gotten better. His big thing is "knowing" people. He just doesn't think you can "be friends" with people who you don't know in real life: I try to explain but it doesn't work haha!

travelbug I used to be that way - my H has been on his board for a long time and when we were dating, I wasn't a part of a board and I just did not "get it." A few of his IRL friends were on his board too but for whatever reason I thought it was dumb. Now I get it

H always wants to know about our hump day polls. Haha.

He knows about my "internet friends" mostly becasue of secret santa and the cards I received. I didn't tell him about the cards until there were people on our wall he didn't recognize. I will tell him occasional things in the hump day poll, but not about specific people. This is kinda my thing.
He knows about this place and I tell him stories or ask him wwyd questions almost every day (usually from the other more dramatic boards rather than this one). However, they all run together and like I mentioned last night, he basically thinks everyone on WC is HoneySpider. Lol. Probably because I've met her the most often.
I don't think he knows I introduced travelbug to this place. I don't think he would like that. Haha. He thinks online friends are weird.
MrsMB how did you explain all the Christmas cards you got from us?

I think he assumes it's all a pregnancy related board because many of us started on GP. He always thought it was odd but it saved him from having to hear about TTC stuff, so he didn't question it too much. I've never really clarified and don't talk about it very often. I also make an effort not to over share too much because I know he wouldn't like that. That's what private messages are for haha

DH doesn't really get that there are multiple boards within GBCN. So I have to clarify and say something was posted on "my board" (aka WC) or on "the money board" or whatever. I'm not sure why I bother because does it really matter?
H knows I'm on here because of the secret Santa a couple of years ago on GetP and donations to TTH. I don't really talk about it though because I think he thinks it's silly.

He knows about the board, so does my sister. Sometimes I tell him a funny story, or a BFP. Sometimes he'll say (my sister too) ask the girls, or what do the girls say.
He really didn't like me posting to begin with. I think he understood my need to when I first started. He was jealous for awhile that I spent so much time on here. He seems to be doing better about it though. I tell him about BFPs and hump day polls but that's about it.
He knows that I post here, that I read a bunch of boards (usually about specific things - I lurked on Got Pregnant for the whole time I was TTC, and I ended up really prepared, haha!), and a few stories. I usually tell him drama, and he knows all about TTH and HoneySpider's pregnancy Actually, I told my whole family about BabySpider!
ETA: I usually just say "on one of my forums..." because he really doesn't care if it's one I participate in or not.
ETA2: Apparently the name BabySpider has been vetoed in another thread
He knows about the boards. At first he was kinda weird about it but after our losses he loves the boards. He figures if it helps me like it does then he is happy that I have the boards.
