Occasionally, when I feel like something really exciting has happened- the migration, JLM, when everyone sent Christmas cards to a poster's sister, and the knot/nest/bump movie.
DH knows about this place because he knew about TK when I was on TK...it took him FOREVER to 'get it' but now he really does understand. Many of my friends get it now (it helps that this place isn't wedding focused, that might have been why people didn't really understand why I kept posting post-wedding).
DH actually says that he thinks it is really interesting (he just said that) and then he just said: "And as much as people hate on it, at least you guys are talking about stuff, intellectually, sometimes"...lol...clearly I only share the serious stuff with him, and not the ridiculousness.
I don't hide my involvement on the forums from my friends...a) I refer to you guys as my American 'friends' or as 'people on a forum where I post'. and b) I have so many FB friends from my TK days who are Americans, my Canadian friends caught on pretty quickly, lol.
Even my BFF, who used to side eye it, asked me to post a question about IVF on the TTTC board because she thought maybe the girls there would know, lol.
Whenever something particularly funny or controversial happens.We call our dog "Doggus" from TIP back in my Nest days. He talked me into going to the DFW GTG. He calls it my "real housewives of the internet" group.
But he WAS fascinated when I was all, "REMEMBER HOW THE NEST PISSED US OFF?? SO WE TOOK OUR TOYS AND WENT SOMEWHERE ELSE? THEY ALL GOT FIRED!! ALL OF THEM!! EVERYONE!! WOOHAH!!!"
He wanted to know EVERYTHING. Then he came to and declared all of it dumb.
ETA: He also gets mad at you guys because you make me ask questions like IF YOU HAD TO PICK MY VAGINA OUT OF A LINEUP, WHICH ONE OF *THESE* WOULD YOU SAY I AM?
You should remind him that your friend Luna FROM THE INTERNET told you about Gingko Biloba and that makes him a happier man!
He likes you! He likes you, and laptop, and ProfessorArtNerd (HAPPY??), because he met them so they are real.

almost daily? I'm a SAHM right now, this is sometimes the most interesting thing going on.
Seriously. He asks how my days was, and all I have to tell him is when the baby pooped, how well she ate for lunch, where we went on our walk, blah blah blah. But there's almost always something juicy happening here.

I refer to it as "my womens website". J thinks it is wonderful. This weekend on our way home (from the MC Marathon) he looked at me and said "At mile 23 I almost needed you to come and be my pants person"
Maybe once a week. I keep it light and share the funny stuff. I briefly tried to explain some drama stuff, going into back stories and such, and H was all
