I know what you mean about almost feeling like you are betraying your hubby by keeping a diary, especially one online that complete strangers read and not him. My husband knows I have an online diary, but he's never asked about the specifics of what I write, nor do I think it matters to him much. I think I have always felt okay because no, there are thoughts and feelings that I would never want to tell Jay about, especially at the time when I'm feeling them. I consider my diaries and journals like best friends (because I don't really have a "real life" best friend,) I tell it what I think. With an online diary, you do feel more of a pressure to entertain or to write for your readers...I know I'm just kind of rambling incoherantly (because it's still early in the morning), but I guess what I am trying to say is that sometimes people just need people to relate to, to say, "Hey, I know how she feels," or whatever. (And it's comforting, too, to know that maybe someone is reading what you are gong through at the time and giving you silent support.) And...that's what I think. I know it's completely up to you, and I can't say I haven't had some reservtions, too, at times...but, do what feels right to you!
