Are you honest with your Mr/Mrs?

Truth is unless your other half knows about your time on social networking sites, has no problem with it, maybe they converse on them to..
Then your marriage/relationship can't really be that honest or happy.
Some people come on sites like this to spice things up I guess 🤷
However, if you're not totally honest with them or yourself then....you can't be truly happy to want to spend alot of your time on here and other social media sites.

I came off facebook a few years ago but one of the chats I remember was a couple I know going something like
Him " Shall we have a cup of Tea"
Her "would love one "
Him "put the kettle on then",
Her "ok but your making it"
While they were sitting in the same room maybe 4 feet away from each other and posting this on their face book page🫤

Social media norms are fluid.

Covid produced a more lonely society, where we relied more on online shopping, and social communication, and Woking from home.
Could not even see my children and grandchildren, and could only take restrictive exercise.

I cannot see the argument as why men need to tell their wives about using social media. I had network at work. And do so at church.

@SW-User I appreciate it helped many during COVID, and it can help with advice etc. However when people are hiding things from partners about their activity online, that's deceitful.

@Lanie78 When I joined this site it was simply to share ideas.

It is an eye opener.

It’s hardly that any of the people on here are going to meet in reality.

I’m currently supporting someone through a crisis.

Not into ethics. Life is precious.

@SW-User It's good that you feel you can help others here. My point however is if you can't be fully honest with your partner's about your activity here, then you're not being honest with yourself either!

SW-User

@Lanie78
I’ll think over what you are saying.
Probably this site is not for me.
Thank you for your comments.

I’ll read a book with Living with Loneliness instead. And why others force you into it.

@SW-User What you do here is entirely up to you. However if you're now questioning yourself, then maybe you need to be honest as to the reasons why you're actually here in the first place. Loneliness is horrible, escapism is fine. However, life is to short to "make do" or pretend everything is fine in a relationship you're no longer happy in.
We all deserve happiness. Just be true to yourself and your partner if they're the reason you're here in the first place.

@Lanie78 not convinced escapism is fine.

I’ve been married over thirty years this time. That is not a problem.

Do I need social media, not at all.
Came on out of curiosity.

Support groups are useful in a crisis. I was a carer in my previous life.

I’ve said too much.
