    No, he is not part of MFP; he doesn't like or approve of social media. He knows that I am here and gives me a "look " every time that I am on line or logging, but he doesn't say anything good or bad (he knows better).

    He knows my logging name and password so I don't know if he ever snoops or not but I doubt it because he is very respectful. Would I act different? maybe I would not participate in the forums so much.

    1. Yes, but he stopped logging in when I changed my profile pic to my face instead of me in a bikini. :angry:

    3. No, but now that he's not active I've been debating collecting a bunch of eye candy for my FL. I need something to fill the void.

    1) Yes she is on my friends List

    2) NA

    3) Probably not. She did let me know when I started commenting on the "chit-chat" topics that it showed that I left a comment on the "would you bang the person above you" posts and such. So I changed that option. Nothing else I do would be an issue.

    1) Is your spouse on your friends list?

    2) If no, is your spouse on the site and/or do they even know you have an account/are on the site?

    3) Whichever is true (on your FL or not) , if the opposite were true....do you think you would act differently? In what way?

    No, because he's not on the site - Yes, he knows I have an account and am on the site. I am on it at home in front of him. He sees what I post and say and my pics. So no, I would not act differently. I act this way all the time. I am who I am!

    No.

    He is very interested in fitness and nutrition, but does not have an account. He thinks I quit because counting calories was giving me massive anxiety and borderline eating disorder behaviors. I haven't quit. I'm terribly unhappy with my body. I am not logging right now though but I plan to return soon.

    If he had an account, not much would be different. Maybe he'd give me more positive reinforcement knowing how hard I am actually working.

    1) No

    2) No and No

    3) Yes.... he would discourage me from posting my face and the entering of ANY kind of data. (extreme privacy issues)

    1. yes, she is on my FL

    2. mhm

    3. to be completely honest, there was a point in time where my comments/flirting on here was not necessarily appropriate. i have since curtailed what we would deem inappropriate and would not change how i am now and have been for some time.

    i dont logoff my account at home, i dont panic if she grabs my phone to look something up, and if shes using the site (not much into the social aspect but uses the tools) then she sees my statuses and commentary on my wall.

    Yes

    N/A

    He only recently joined the site, so I can definitively say it changed nothing.

    1.) No
    2.) He's not ever on the site, but he knows I'm on here regularly.
    3.) Maybe slightly (I would probably take it down a notch on flirtatiousness) but overall, not really.

    1.) If he were on the site, we'd be on each others' friends list. He's not.
    2.) He knows, he couldn't give less of a crap except when me calculating my remaining macros postpones his consumption of food.
    3.) Of course not. Why would I?

    1) No. He has no MFP account.

    2) He knows and I even have the MFP app on his phone. He threats to delete my account all the time when I go over board and freak about my cals.. ^_^

    3) Nope, I would still be a lurker.

    1. Yes, I wouldn't have it any other way. If my spouse would say he didn't want me on his friend's list, I'd definitely be suspicious. If you have to hide or keep things secret from your significant other, whether it be texts, phone calls, facebook accounts, etc.,, then you are already cheating in some form. Social media can kill a relationship no doubt!! But yes, I act the same on FB as I would normally.

    1. No (I don't possess any)

    2. IDK

    3. I'm the same 24/7, I don't believe in perpetrating a fraud.

    1. No, my spouse is not on MFP. He doesn't need to lose weight, although he does need to get in shape.

    2. He is aware that I use a calorie-tracking website as I do log my food regularly. He probably doesn't remember the website name because it's not important to him.

    3. No, I would not act differently. If he were on this site, it would not matter to me if we were friends or not - I could support him in real life, and I have zero concerns about inappropriate online activity on his part.

    1.no he is not on here
    2. He knows I log food on some fitness site that's about as much insight he has into it
    3. Probably wouldn't like me having male friends even if they are on the other side of the world and we only share fitness interests ...... Oh well

    This. Especially the second one.

    1. yes but he wasn't for the longest time and rarely signs on
    2. I don't remember what question two was and I'm to lazy to look it up
    3. I acted the same before he signed up as I do now and wouldn't have a problem if he were more actively involved. I'm not that exciting so it's not like he'd find me behaving lasciviously or anything.

    1. Yes, she is.

    2. N/A

    3. We both have a equal understanding of what is acceptable and what is not in our relationship. I hold her in high enough regard that I would never act disrespectfully to her our relationship regardless of the possibility of her seeing my behavior. I am an open book to her, I keep no secrets, I would freely give her any password or my phone. That being said, we are who we are regardless of whether or not the other is present.

    My husband is not on my friends list here on MFP by his choice. He says he feels self conscious about his dietary choices. That's not a biggie to me. He is not on my Facebook friends list by my choice. Now, my computer is in the living room, and the whole family can see anything I post at any time. The reason he's not on my list is because I want to have one place, on the whole damn internet, that I can vent without every relative everywhere having something to say about it. It's not my husband that I'm hiding from. :)
