Blogs and relationships

By /

A few weeks back I started talking to a friend about something. He stopped me before I finished the first sentence to tell me that he knew already, he had read about it in my girlfriends blog.

Tonight my girlfriend went out drinking with some folks. We usually agree to at least let each other know when we are going out, so I was a little surprised when I txt’d her around midnight to find out she was in a pub. “Why didnt you tell me you were going out?” I asked, the response, and I quote, “I just thought you’d read my blog”. Do any other couples have this setup whereby rather than telling your other half something you post it on a blog?!

Earlier on in the week when I asked about something that was in her blog, I was told that it was none of my business! (Apparently it was for the interest of the online population of the world – less me!)

Perhaps now that we have hired Dave , he can write some relationship counseling software into roller too! Perhaps “dtrace for girlfriends” might help more!

    I’ve been wanting to write about this for some time, mostly on the reverse of your situation. I.e. for those who only have Weblogs as the basis fo relatioship not those whose relationships are “migrating” to weblogs !?;-) Take a moment and take a look at Hubert Dreyfus’ On The Internet. He has a whole chapter on the issue of relationships and trust in general. I have given a brief review of his other chapters here.

    Heh, well, if you use bloglines, you would be up-to-date. 😉 And no… Mick and I don’t let each other know what we are doing by blogging… gmail covers that now, since IM is not allowed at his workplace. 🙂
    BTW, what kind of plugin are u using to block spam. First time I see a blog using a math question. Quite cute in a way.

    the math is too hard for me! This is a funny post. I’ll use that one next time I forget to mention something to the hubby.

    Man, maybe I am just out of it, but that seems way messed up.
    Maybe you two should consider some sort of mediator (and I don’t mean a news group). On the other hand, could mediation or couples counseling be done by blog itself? Maybe you could hook up Eliza to the blog and do it without spending any money at all on the counselor? Something to think about, anyway…and then discard and move on to something reasonable. 🙂
