As long as you are not looking on these social sites for a new relationship, he has no right to tell you what you can or can't do.
It sounds like you respect his desires, but he should consider respecting yours as well.

Depending on how he's trying to prevent you from going to these sites. A mere request doesn't mean he's a control freak. He's asking you, he's not getting your internet disconnected or tossing out the computer. There are lots of predators out there who will weasel their way to you via any way they can. This site being no exception. Your posting this question so I doubt his actions are as severe as people make it out to be.

Coming to the site to socialize is a lot different than airing out dirty laundry to complete strangers. If you have many problems maybe you should consult your husband about them first.

Question...would you find it okay for your husband to socialize with many different women online telling them his problems and what matters most to him instead of confiding in you?

If my partner preferred to talk about their issues with complete strangers I'd too feel greatly disrespected and would question the relationship if my request for privacy wasn't considered if it was an important factor for me.

Get off the computer, deattch from the ficticious people and go be with your husband before he starts confiding in someone else himself

I don't think it's okay. If you want my advice here it is. Go to a feed and seed store and buy some rat poison. Cook him a really good dinner . . . . Well, you can figure out the rest. Oh, before you go make sure his life insurance is paid up.

If your husband feels that insecure or whatever his reasoning is, about you being on a social internet site, like Experience Project, then he has the problem....Not You! His "prevent" you from being on EP is not acceptable behavior....It controlling behavior.

Have you explained to your husband what EP is all about? If so, what does he have to say about it.

If you looking for a "new relationship" on a internet social site....Get out of your marriage first.

My husband knows that I am on EP and he knows that I write about my experiences and share my stories.

Good Luck to YOU!!

Well, that is all up to you. How do you feel inside about it? Answer that and you will know if it is okay. ;)

I would say that it is understandable for him to ask that you do not discuss his personal life openly on the internet. And if he has asked that, I think it might be a tad disrespectful for you to discuss him or his personal life.

But I would definitely draw the line at him "preventing" you from "being on on social sites". Now you've crossed the line from a reasonable expectation of privacy to a blatantly controlling behavior.

The problem here is that there is a gray area because, your personal life and his are intertwined. So, how is it possible for you to come online and discuss "your" personal life, without discussing his? I think the answer lies in your abilbity to elect to remain anonymous, which is why many here on EP remain completely that way...

No absolutly not!!!! You are an individual and have your own personal needs. I personally encourage my wife to. She has many friends on the net and I think it's great even when she gets a little flirty with them. No harm done!!!

Just depends...
Do you wear a burka?
Walk behind him 10 steps?
Wash his family's clothes?
Does he call you his slave girl?
If you go against his wishes, will he beat you, hate you, leave you?
Some husband are beasts.

I think you should be able to make your own decision on this. I have some sympathy with your husband, because I think a lot of people undervalue their privacy.

On the other hand, I have some sympathy with you, because I love a bit of social networking. I don't think you should let your husband bully you. Marriage should be an equal partnership.

Write and make friends. Keep personal facts out of your comments . Do what you want.

My husband will never know about EP. He doesn't say anything about other sites but if he was to find EP he would kill me. It isn't right but I learned out to delete very well and cover traces. Yep I know it's lying but I cover my *** and I'm happy and so he is.

I know it sucks, but the answer is, "It depends." If my husband asked me not to, I would probably let him know that I do not write or say anything that could possibly give my identity away. If he still wishes you not to, this is where the "depends" comes in. It really depends on his reasoning behind it. And by that, I am sort of asking what kind of marriage you are in. Is he very controlling in other respects? If so, you aren't going to win. Do you have a lot of friends? If so, I would respect his wishes and not go on the sites. Is he insecure? If so, he probably feels threatened ... which I think is reasonable. The web has been the demise of a lot of "wonderful" marriages. If he is not very controlling, I would respect his wishes (once I found out why he was so set against it). If you do not have a lot of friends, I would try to explain the friendships you have made online to your husband. I know I rambled quite a bit, but I hope this helped at least a smidge. :)

This is a tough one. Its your life, he shouldn't control you. But your lives are connected and he feels violated. So what should you do? Yeah, this is a tough one.

THANK THE GODS I'M SINGLE! And have absolutely no one to answer to...

That depends; are you a floor mat?

I'm confused, you say `Prevent` but then say `Make me feel`. My answer would depend on which it was. Part of me says your a big girl, but the other part of me says that marriage takes work and sometimes the small things we sacrifice for it are really no big deal. Only you know which one can call this a small sacrifice.

Why don't you invite him to go on with you as a couple? He probably just feels jelous or threatened. If you have a deep understanding and awareness of your the vow you made and if you can look at him and your heat well up with love- then I think it is safe to go on, and you should let him know that!

please comply with your husband directive.as christ is the jhead of the church,he is your head.we have more than enough troubled marriages.

No. It is your interest. But I don't like to open my private life so much in public. Take care of that....
