    Every weekend when J and I talk, he inevitably asks "So what's new on weddingbee this week?" and I tell him things I'm thinking about for our wedding.

    He tried (in vain) to guess my username for a while, I finally gave it to him (after he stopped guessing/asking, of course) a while back, and the next week he was like, "I'll see what you've posted lately!" and I freaked out.

    After explaining that I'm nervous he'll see pictures of dresses I like, he promised never to visit WeddingBee again, which wasn't really my intention... I just wanted him to be careful which posts he looked at! Silly boy :)

    I would LOOOOVE to do a joint wedding related blog (like, his and hers persepctives) since we're kind of equally into planning, but I don't think either of us would actually ever update it, haha.

    What about your SO?

    Well I didn't vote, because he knows I'm on here all the time, but he doesn't think it's silly - he thinks it's cute! Like last night when I hit 1,000 posts he was like "oooh a bumblebee! You're gonna be bumbling all around on there now!" or something. hehe.

    He doesn't look on here though. I read some things to him sometimes, but that's about it.

    My FI says "What's new on WeddingBee?" too! He's not allowed to be on WB unless I'm showing him something. I've posted pics of my dress and I wouldn't want him to accidently see.

    Sometimes I show FI something from the main/blog page.  Besides that, no.  And I'm glad for that :o)

    He thinks it's a little silly, but will look at something if I show it to him. I would love to do a joint blog, but I know he'd never update it or really be interested in it-so I get to do it myself! :)

    Not at all! He knows it exists and that I'm on here alot, but he has NO idea just how much I'm on here. I did tell him the other day that I had 2000 posts FINALLY and he just kinda rolled his eyes.

    My FI thinks it's silly. He always comes home and asks me if I'm going to be on here all night. I do have him look at some things every once in a while but he's not too interested or anything.

    he thinks its REALLY silly... he'll look at something on here if i show it to him but other than that, no. He'll say to me sometimes when he knows on on here " will you stop buzzin and come hang out with me!" haha, i'm obsessed and he can deal!

    He thinks it's silly that I'm still visiting the site now that the wedding is over - I told him I need to wean myself off of it. That got quite the eye-roll.

    He has no idea WB exists. He has no idea how much wedding research I've done, or that I'm keeping a blog about it. I take the whole "don't talk about weddings until after an engagement" thing pretty seriously. :P

    He mainly thinks I'm crazy for still going here even though I'm married now. I try to explain to him that the bees are pretty much genious here and have advice for anything but I don't think he understands. I do force him to look at some occassional posts though that I like--mainly anything about babies.

    My FI doesn't knows that I look at wedding stuff online ALL the time, but doesn't really know any specifics. He would probably see that I'm on here all the time if we weren't long distance, but weddingbee is what I do to occupy my time while we are apart :)

    I've only been looking on WB for a little over a week but my SO already knows whats up. He thinks its endearing and occassionally I'll show him a picture or two but he's too busy frequenting reddit.com to really pay too much attention.

    Well, my answer is not there ... H knows about my obsession here but would never look! At least I don't think he would. He is aware he's not allowed on my websites =)

    He never has visited, and totally made fun of me at first for spending so much time here. Now he just accepts it as part of my life, but he still hasn't stopped by. It may happen. :)

    My FI doesn't know that it exists!  If he asks what I'm doing, I just tell him that I'm looking at wedding stuff and that usually shuts him up!  He likes to be involved in the planning but not the research side of it...

    I show my FI stuff from the main blog that I like, but almost never anything from the boards. He reads over my shoulder a bunch and I even caught him browsing the site once! Heh. He said it was for research purposes! :) He knows what my account is (it is logged in 24/7 on both our computers!), but its not a big deal. He's not very involved in teh planning and DIY process. I've tried bringing him in (thus sharing pictures and stuff with him), but he doesn't want anything but veto power over things.

    No way lol.. He is glad that I enjoy it so much, but he couldn't really care less about what I'm reading/posting/doing on here LOL.

    Somtimes I will read to him something that I posted or responded to, or tell him about a post that someone else started, but he doesn't get on it himself and look at it.

    He's about as interested in WB as I am interested in his car discussion forum :)

    Back while we were wedding planning, my hubby went as far as creating a username on here!  It was just because he wanted to see if anyone on here could help him find something for our centerpieces, lol.  I thought it was sweet!  Another day he did a Google search on something we had been debating and he found a post I wrote about it on here and said something about it to me later.  At that point, I felt like he was up in my personal space, almost like he was eavesdropping on a conversation with a friend, so I'm glad he doesn't visit here anymore.

    FI knows my username as he has seen me posting - his computer is directly behind mine in our home office. He was like "so, Valhalla eh - I am going to take a peek and see what you have posted!". I said "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO WeddingBee is my private sanctuary!" He promised he wouldn't check up on my posts. He has WOW, I have Wedding Bee. And that's that. But I do share lots of stuff I find on the site with him - it has been great for planning. Just not my individual postings :)

    He doesn't visit, but sometimes if I read a thought provoking blog post, or see something cool that's DIY, we'll chat about it.  He's pretty open, but doesn't have the patience for message boards and blogs and all that.  I love them so I report my findings :)

    Last night he saw that I was on here and pointed to my wedding band on my finger.  It took me a minute to realize what he was saying.  I told him that people who were already married helped me when I was still planning and I wanted to help ther brides!

    The his/her blog is a great thing.  Me and Mister have one.  Check it out.  And yea, the only problem I've seen so far is that he hasn't posted anything yet.  He said the closer we get to the wedding, he'll start posting something.  LOL!!!

    My blog is www.becomingthebradybunch.blogspot.com

    Also, Mr. Bee, you're funny!  LOL!!!

    He knows I'm on WB, he knows my username, and he'll look over my shoulder or look at things I point out to him. He's seen my/our bio and checked out what I uploaded to the gallery. For the most part though, he just leaves it bee (yes, clever). I didn't really worry about him finding out things before the wedding, since I didn't post anything i wouldn't want him to see/read (ie. my dress).

    @Mr. Bee: HEEEEEEE-LARIOUS!!

     

    M knows that I am here we often discuss things that are going on here etc and it's actually helped a lot broach quite a few subjects for example I asked him:

    "did you know that a lot of people don't like when you propose around the holidays"

    him: what?! really?! (way too interested so of course i delve further)

    me: yep, I don't know what their problem is.. I'd LOVE a Christmas proposal it's always been my dream (batting my eyes innocently)

    him: oh, I haven't thought about it

    me:

    Does your SO ever visit WB? :  wedding Seth Southpark

    him: (bursts into laughter)

    lol!! seriously being on here and him knowing about it actually brings some sanity into our world...

    My FI likes that I have a venue to talk about a lot of my concerns and questions on here, but he doesn't like when I "gossip" about other people on here. My attitude to him is that if the other posters put their questions up, it's not gossip, they put themselves on here! But he just hears me talking about people he doesn't know or about other weddings he's not going to.

    He knows exactly how addicted I am - he laughs at me but he is cool with it. He'll look if I show him something, and sometimes I tell him about random things I read about, but he wouldn't ever visit.

    Not that I know of, I don't know that he knows it exists.  I'm also not one to talk openly about engagement/wedding stuff past "zomg this is awesome I am going to need it."

    I've shown it to him once or twice, mostly when we were confused about this bit of etiquette or such.

    yes.... and he still does on random occassions... I think because it's not blocked at work?!?

    I'd say it's different for bee's though... since he always needed to keep abreast of what I posted so he could react properly when others asked him about it.
