    I am an open book. I don't hide anything.

    I've spoken to people about being on mfp and going into the forums but I've really only shared details with one of my coworkers and also my husband - he knows all about it.

    But does he know that I want to dry hump your leg?

    I have read threads out loud to my family and extended family while howling laughing and wiping away tears. And then when they ask me "so what site is this from?" I mumble something about Pinterest or some other site that I know they'll never be interested in. Because I'm okay sharing about you with them as long as I don't have to share you with them.

    Oh, and the vast majority of my real life friends used to be online friends from a different forum long ago. And since they're all dicks who are jonesing for a forum to troll, I can't tell them about you.

    So separate worlds it is.

    Do you tell "them" about "us"? Them being your in real life family and friends and Us being your mfp family and friends. Do you talk about us to them? Are you living two separate lives? Do they ever overlap? Or are we, your mfp friends and family, a secret? Go ahead, es-plane.....(and yes it's a funny way of saying explain)

    It's all real life. Just different aspects or parts of it.

    I don't often talk about people. I don't hide people I know from other people I know, I just keep most of my friendships on a one on one basis. In person and online.

    I live a separate life from almost everyone I know...most of my friends and family don't know much about me, I'm very private.

    This made me lol.

    My husband is a long time addict of some Kansas City chiefs forum. I gave him crap about it for YEARS.

    I actually apologized to him earlier today for all the nagging. Now we both have found our forums.

    And yes, I let him read stuff on here all the time. I've shown him some of the very funny threads and all sorts of stuff. He doesn't have MFP, but he's very health conscious so he gets it.

    This probably sounds terrible but - I'm not a family guy and I don't drink/party or do any of the usual large gathering social stuff.
    My entire life is fitness.

    I don't bother with people who have no interest in health and fitness - so, there is no 'us' and 'them' for me.

    I'm one track minded in some ways but - it's why I have success when it comes to my lifestyle. If I can't talk about health and fitness (or even MFP) to somebody, I loose interest within minutes.

    My wife and I have a pretty open relationship so she knows all about MFP and I know all bout her social media chats.

    Also, I tell my trainer about some of the stuff that gets said on here lol

    DH is only interested in the kitteh gifs and memes so I rarely discuss this place with him. He refers to MFP as "WTF".

    I have referenced y'all, but not really specifically any people, just situations and conversations and such
