I'm sure my fellow bloggers and my lovely BDSS ladies will agree blogging can be hazadous for your relationships. When I say relationships I'm talking any relationship really (family, friends, work colleagues) but for the focus of this post I'm going to be talking about blogging whilst in a relationship.
I definitely know that a certain amount of self censorship goes into what will and won't appear on this here blog of ours. Also after pressing the 'publish' button I have experienced such worries as have I said something I shouldn't? Will this offend anyone? (possibly those close to me) or will anonymous come at me hard again! *Eek*
Anywhere were I have noticed an extreme hazard is love relationships particularly if things are not all stella then anything you write is likely to get scrutinzed by your other half and a lot of the time they take that post that you said about your worst sexual experience ever and assume you are talking about them! (when your not!)
Oh BDSS'ers if you were a fly on the wall in the background of The BDSS then you would be prevy to some serious insight into the male ego/psyche.
I can't tell you the amount of times one of these here post's have been taken in the wrong way by one of our other half's or previous halfs (for lack of a better description).
You only have to look at Liz Jone's of the Daily Mail she wrote about her marriage, her husband's affair, their break ups and make ups all for our comsumption and if I remember right her husband was not to pleased to be the fodder for our entertainment, which I guess is understandable.
However there is a big part of me that thinks if you as a man (in this case) or women are acting right then you should know that your partner is not likely to have a dig at you via the blog (notice I said 'not likely' not never!) and from knowing The BDSS ladies I can tell you anything we may say in reference to you it's more than likely we have said to your face, we are unlikely to refer to something out of the blue that you did not know about, like the fact you spend forever on your phone, laptop or addicted to PS3 and it annoys us, we have already told you so why you upset?!
Also I would like to add that the majority of the time its not about you!
Therefore please stop thinking that everything we write other people will know it's about you, because as mentioned above its not likely about you! :-) (that is a genuine smile right there)
Whilst saying all that I do realise that everyone takes what you say differently and what you meant to say can be lost in translation because obviously different people interpret things differently, thats what makes for fun and interesting conversations in the comment section...
So anyways BDSS'ers can you relate to what I'm saying, have you ever got in hot water with your other half over something you have said in a blog or maybe via FB or twitter and my fellow bloggers have you found blogging hazadous for your relationships? How have you handled it?
Leggo!
