Everyone who calls out your bullshit is getting their messages deleted. You have shared where you live, you have shared how you look. And you have noooo clue why your partner are worried about how you use this site? 🤦🏻‍♀️

That happened to me on ep too, I sincerely hope it wasn’t the same person. My family banned me from all social media after that happened. I was an adult when I joined here but they still weren’t overly happy about it, they don’t understand why I like it

Being able to post your thoughts with relative anonymity or ask for advice from strangers is nice. If your comfortable that you are safe then it might be nice for you, but it would be hard for others to understand.
Its a good thing that you are letting him know what your doing, rather than just not telling him, that alone should put him a little more at ease. Just tell him that its something you need right now, and you would rather have him be a part of it rather than doing it behind his back and see what he says.
I would ask you however, if your sending it out to the ether, why do you need to post your pictures?

She is on here with me.

My husband he really doesn't care that I am on here

I would have agreed with you before but he is correct, even my bf has stopped me from spending so much time on these forums and it’s why I write my thoughts in a journal now and I feel much better mentally, and be honest with yourself these online interactions are superficial and most ppl here are bitter and don’t really want the best for you

That’s horrible you got groomed on Ep. I’m guessing it was BillyMadison? He never bothered me but I heard he was a pedo. There were a lot of men there that were sneaky as well. I was lucky that I didn’t get in trouble. Your husband might just be afraid some vile creep will trick you into trusting him. There’s still creeps around. Just tell your husband that you won’t trust anyone.

Nope, she is sitting here with her coffee. Sometimes she reads the comments.

Nooo, not at all.

spent 6 years on E,P sorry it closed ,S,W will never fill the E,P space, 1 think 12 was way to young for E,P , did you have the same login name,

He always tells me it's a waste of time

i agree.

hence why I also come here only once in a blue moon minus last time.
Over the past two years I would come once for a week and leave for a year, gotta go back to that soon.

I think all spouses have some 'insecurities' when they don't know who their loved-one is corresponding with and there's no introductions to be made on either side. The unknown is scary - for anyone; and some of you have said that even on EP you had some adverse experiences.
My wife knows that I write here. What I write and to whom I write she has no idea (neither do I - in all reality).

To call this site 'sketchy' shows your spouse is wary - that's all - and that he wants you to use good practises and not reveal too much of a personal nature. You're a BIG GIRL now.... AND.... you've been there, got scratched and have the scar!

I haven't seen the pedo stuff here nearly as much as EP, but that could just be people are getting smarter and wise that internet anonymity may protect you from your neighbors views, but it won't protect you from the government if you do something wrong. Also that feature EP had with the anonymous posting really was an interesting idea that turned into a tool often used nefariously.

I'm sorry all that happened to you. SW can be a good place to share and listen but there is that element that is beyond creepy. I hope your hubby accepts it eventually

I am so sorry that happened to you. I am glad you are building better relationships here on this site. I liked EP but it was definitely full of perverts and online predators.

It sounds like you’re wise enough to handle sites like this. It sucks that you had such a hard lesson, tho.

I know a few people who have been scammed on site like Facebook, the "normal" social media websites. We even helped report a profile as a scammers account and guess what. It's still there. So not sure how your husband defines sketchy but he needs to realize that anywhere you go online is sketchy.

I am from EP....after it shut down I came here.... Looking for genuine friendship and good connection! Some people are really good that's why i am still here !
I hope you meet nice people and make good friends that will really help u to feel less lonely!

I tried to get my husband interested in it, but he has better things to do. Sometimes I share with him the things I am seeing and saying. He doesn't much care.

I get it. I moved as well. It helps my loneliness too. But my wife doesn't like it. If she would engage more, I wouldn't need to be here.

When I was 12 there was no social media

I don't met mind yet I think he'll have no problem with it, I think

No, my wife does not mind at all

I am so sorry you were groomed on EP. I can understand why you like to post here because of the anonymity of the site.

You were not at fault for the grooming no matter what anyone says.

No, but she does think it;s silly...Yet her phone has been hacked twice using Facebook.
