This is a really interesting topic! Can’t wait to see what feedback you get

my wife doesn’t blog, but i do. so basically if the photo or content involves her, i ask her first, if it’s of me – then it’s fair game.

I’m with Paul. My husband doesn’t blog, but I do. I run any personal content by him before posting. He has veto power, but has yet to exercise it.

Also, we’ve only been together coming up on 3 years, so I remember in the days before him, one of my dealbreakers on guys was that potential partners would have to understand blogging, and be okay with the fact that I blog. I found that being with someone who was ignorant about blogging or had a discomfort with it (usually they went hand-in-hand) was not going to work for me.

I introduced Robyn into blogging because it was a part of my life she wasn’t a part of and I wanted to have her in every aspect of my life as possible.

She loves it! It also made her a bit more geeky too. She really enjoys writing for http://www.WestCoastAlpine.com

I read over what she writes and I have her read over what I write (when she’s home lol).

In regards to photos. I always ask Robyn first if its ok to post a photo of her/us etc.

Perfect use of a N2S cartoon!

If we had had more time, I think it would have been great to include a “both partners don’t blog” couple. When Julie and I were noodling ideas for questions, this was one that came up. I thought it was a really great discussion though – loved Julie’s “rules” and how Derek/Airdrie negotiated issues.

Thanks for live blogging it!!

When I was with Chris, and then also with Noah, I’ve always been the only member of the relationship that blogged. I started blogging while I was with Chris so he learned about it at the same time that I did. He knew that I had a blog, but because it was a wedding blog where I was blogging about things like my wedding dress (which I didn’t want him to see!), I never gave him my blog address. He didn’t mind because he knew I was writing about wedding details and wasn’t concerned what I wrote, as long as I didn’t divulge anything that would be a security concern (i.e. the specific date, venue and address of the wedding).

With Noah, the blog had morphed into a personal blog and blogging was a big part of my life by the time I met him. So I felt the same way as Jen – any guy that I dated would have to be okay with the fact that I blog, even if they didn’t blog themselves. I never posted much about Noah, and anything I did write was run by him first, but it would have been a dealbreaker for me if he couldn’t handle me blogging or mentioning him at all.

Now that I’m single again, it’s not really a concern at the moment. But I remember joking at the Vancouver Blogger’s Meetup that we should organize a speed dating event for bloggers… it is just easier to date people who understand blogging!

Partner doesn’t blog (come to think of it he has no online “identity”) but as with the other couples, he has veto power over personal stuff though considering I rarely post personal stories, that’s never much of an issue. We’ve been together a very long time and I’ve been blogging since the beginning but I remember being surprised the first time he said he read it on my blog. I’d passed it along but never expected him to actually *read* it.

Thanks everyone for chiming in. An interesting topic indeed!

We both have blogs but I do all the technical stuff for Helen’s blog and that seems to suck all my blogging energy and time – so my blog lies limp and unloved while her stats continue to grow. Although I am half way through moving mine to a new domain at the moment… maybe that’ll jump-start me.

It is fun reading her blog though – I find out about some things that way first!

Jon Jennings’s last blog post..Twitter and Magpie

i was looking forward to having some time to comment on this. adam as ABC has always had his own about him page and sign in and can post whenever he wants it just turns out that unless i can’t post due to location, surgery, etc., he posts for me and i don’t approve them i either love it or hate it. sometimes he does a birthday post for me as well which i don’t see before it goes up, the naked ryan gossling/jimmy garner being the ultimate year.
when it comes to my writing about adam and his family, SILS i keep off the site as much as possible, although i run everything by him that includes him and or his family, he is about as open as i am and he has approved me talking about things i still haven’t as i asked if i could and he said yes but it just never felt right to me. we work really well together, he wants to see GG do well, so there is basically nothing he doesn’t read.

Well, Wil knew from the beginning that I blogged because that is how we met. My blogging has changed a lot when we started dating, and eventually married. I leave huge parts of my life out of my blog now, because they concern Wil’s life and his privacy is important to me. It feels odd because some of the things I’ve gone though, I totally would have blogged before. And I wanted to blog them. However, I’m careful to respect his privacy, and our marriage.
