Does your significant other have a problem with you using Similar worlds?

My husband kinda finds this site sketchy and always has something to say. But the thing is I been on EP since 12 and on here after EP shut down. I had a lot happen to me on EP due to being a minor and I was groomed a lot to the point where the police got involved when I was 14 because of a Pedo on the site and the whole situation was really traumatizing for me. I healed a lot since then and I still love how I'm able to post so freely here and feel like I'm just posting into the void. He doesn't get it he just is like "the site is sketchy" like shut up :( it makes me sad because we moved states and I am taking a break from instagram and Snapchat. So the only time I see people are when friends come to visit or at the gym and sometimes we'll grab coffee after. But still I like this site it helps me feel less alone. I haven't used this website in a while either and I was telling him about it today and he just totally shut it down idk. Like I know he's just looking out for me but it's just pretty annoying how he doesn't even attempt to understand why I'm even on here to begin with. It isn't a big deal it's just like what it is but he makes me feel weird for being on here idk. It's the one issue I have in our relationship so it's not really a big deal it's just frustrating esp since it's been about a decade being on EP -> SW

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?

@krf336 were both content sellers so we tend to be a bit proactive by nature. The pictures I've posted here I thought were pretty normal compared to my usual

@LittleBallOfFire They are normal, i wasnt judging. Just a question. It makes perfect sense if your a content provider, maybe he is upset because your posting here and not somewhere you can make money.

@krf336 true. He isn't concerned about the posting or the men messaging me. He's more concerned with just the platform as a whole and thinks this is a pedophile site (bc of what happened to me on EP). He thinks I'll get in trouble for being on the site so whenever I bring it up he gets scared and worried. He doesn't care about the pictures or the messaging that's not the issue at all. He's okay with me expressing myself and I've always been a free spirit who just likes to post themselves. Some people post their art or their pets. I like to just post me :)
