My husband doesn't want me on ALLNURSES

Published

My husband doesn't want me on ALLNURSES. He thinks it is dangerous to post anonymously.

I told him that I don't write that which should not be read. And anything written can be read. Am I the only one with an overprotective husband?

When my fiance learned that I was texting with someone from AN, he was a little weirded out and I think I can understand that because hellooooo internet wackos.

And this person IS a wacko.

But anyway...when I was 14 I made a friend on a figure skating message board. We've never met in real life, but 17 years later we're still friends!

I'm sure other readers have guessed at the identity of someone based on their posts.

Yep.

The weirdest part is that I sorta dated her husband a few years before she even met him...

As far as her nursing career goes, I don't care. She is careful about details. I just figured her out based on her job history (which is kinda unusual), the timing of it, her username and the fact that she posts EXACTLY how she speaks. I wouldn't be able to figure out any of her patients from her posts.

I did get dinged once for posting a lot of details about a code. Since then I've been very careful although if someone really really wanted to I'm sure I could be figured out.

Wait, which one is the wacko? The text person or the ex's wife?

I heart wackos.

That's all I'm gonna say...

Are you a stalker?

No, just kidding. A coworker figured out who I was. I didn't know she posted here. Now I'm a lot more reticent about posting work stuff.

I was afraid that someone would come to that conclusion. ;)

I do tend to remember certain posters after a few posts - someone who always gives wise advice, someone who is very knowledgeable and persuasive about vaccines, someone who is frequently abrasive, someone who posts about places I am familiar with, someone who always makes the most ridiculous statements, etc.

I remembered this poster because she kept posting about places I knew.

I, too, write exactly as I speak. People tell me that they can hear my voice when they read my writing

Your husband has deep seeded issues, but he's your husband, and You must love him. Why else would you tolerate such nonsense? My ex didn't want me to be a nurse. Thus, my ex. Be gentle and reassuring and keep the harmony intact. In my humble opinion, this request is not one I would concede. Yes, marriage requires sacrifice. Some people like being controlled. I personally do not like that. Good luck.

Is this my ex pretending to be Farawyning? If not, I do respectfully request intelligent mindful responses. Battling wits with an unarmed person just isn't fair. We're trying to give insight to a sensitive topic, relationships. I aooligize if I touched a sensitivity. It was not my intention. Peace.

All dried up now. Shall we move forward and concentrate on the issue? Thank you.
