 Is anyone ever wary that their BP spouse will read what you post? I so would like my husband to join the BP forum. I think it would be great for him to chat with other people like himself. But I fear he will read my posts and either get offended, depressed or angry.

What are your opinions on this?

Thanks.

 I think that this is for your help, but if he wants to join I also feel that he should be welcome, just change to a username that you know he wont suspect and then take it from there, if you see that it will becaome a problem than just be careful in how much detail you give about your husband but it' worth the try to see how he feels and to see him express himself.

 Momofboys, I was on here a couple of months before telling my wife about the site. It was a month or so later that I got her interested in what I was doing, not hiding it from here but showing her in bits and pieces to aleviate anxiety about what I was doing. About a month ago she joined the site while she was in mania doing the 2 to 3 days without rest thing. She found comfort in having someone to talk to, especially when I was no longer able to stay awake with her. She comes on now every once in a while.

You will know when it is time to share.

GOD BLESS
