That's what I wrote in a note to myself on my phone. Because that would mark 3 months of being with RJ, which I thought would be a good time to finally tell him the truth... about how and where I spend my time...
That was when I would tell him I have a blog.
Answering questions like "What are you into, like hobbies?" Um, I like reading,
Telling him was a very big deal for me. Only 6 people I know IRL know I have one, and only 3 of those actually read it. I think I waited an entire year before I mentioned it to my ex, and even then it was more because we were moving in together and he would obviously see me blogging.
It went something like this:
"Hey you know how you always ask what I'm doing at night?"
"Yeah"
"So... um... I uh.... I have a blog."
"Ok"
*silence/staring at the TV*
"Well don't you want to ask me anything? Or see it?"
"No, not really."
"But you're on it."
"Ok"
*pull up this post*
"See?"
"Cute"

He never questioned me taking pics of my food

WHAT???? about Peter Pan!!! Oh my gosh that's crazy! haha It has hard sometimes to come clean with the blog.
ReplyDeleteWhat she said ^^ is that true about Peter Pan?! :-O

thanks for linking up!

I have to admit, I am glad I started my blog when already dating my current bf because I'd feel the same way as you. 3 months seems a legit amount of time though so awkward!
ReplyDeleteI think Dereck loves being on my blog lol but he pretty much never asks about it or reads it unless I show him something. Dudes are indifferent to stuff like that, I think. It's awesome though because when we go out to eat, he always pauses before he starts eating because he knows I like to take pictures of food. :)
ReplyDeleteIs it sad that I don't even know what cartoon Peter Pan is from...Yes I know who he is and have seen him but I have never seen that movie. Im odd. Good luck with telling the man about the blog!!
ReplyDeleteIt is weird telling people you have a blog, because many people don't get the idea of having one. And if you don't have a blog, you won't get it. But once you do, you soooo get it. Glad your significant other is cool with it :). Found ya via Kathy's linkup.
ReplyDeleteI feel weird telling ANYONE in real life about my blog! Only a handful of people know... my closest girlfriends, boyfriend and a few family members... that's it!
ReplyDeleteOnly my BF knows about my blog IRL...I'm nervous to tell people, I might not!
ReplyDeleteAgh! I'm on the dating scene and it's the question I ask myself every time I see them. When do they get to know about the blog.
ReplyDeleteWhat an awkward feeling I get when they ask "What do you do in your free time". "uhhh, internets?" Love this!
i totally understand. i don't tell many people i have a blog. i also don't really want people to know. some of my family reads it and one of my friends but that's the only people i know who actually read it. i told a guy friend once about it, thinking he would think it was lame, but he thought it was cool. and even said he respects people who have blogs, cause that's something he could never do since he doesn't like to write/read.
ReplyDeleteglad to hear that it wasn't a big deal, and he didn't think you're lame. yep, he's a keeper :)
I actually knew that about Peter Pan. LOL. A lot of Disney fairytales have a very dark origin. It's crazy!
ReplyDeleteMost Disney stories are not all fluffy and full of rainbows the way we think they are. I prefer the grit.
ReplyDeleteI don't hide my blogging but I also don't openly volunteer the information.

ReplyDeleteI hide blogging from people I work with but my real friends know and so does Beezy.
ReplyDeleteMy friends IRL know I blog but I refuse to tell them the blog name bc I don't want them reading it. It was a big deal when I told my bf (to me, not to him ha) and he read it at first but he doesn't care any more ha. And I like it that way :)
