Summary: This article is not about rape, martial arts, sex, cars, housework ...

I was going to post an article about a particular aspect of my
relationship with my SO but a couple of things stopped me.  One, my SO
reads this group sometimes.  She does not have access to the net, but
she reads it with me when she comes to visit.  The other thing is that
she comes to net.parties with me sometimes so people who she meets will
know some things about her that she might not want known.

I suppose it would be a good idea if I asked her what sorts of things
she minded (or didn't mind) being said about her on the net.  I was
wondering though how other people whose SO's or spouses occasionally
read about themselves on the net, or who other netters meet
occasionally, feel about posting personal details about their SO's or
spouses.  Do you generally ask permission before posting?  Are there
certain things about your relationship you wouldn't post?  Do you think
this affects other people's perceptions of your SO?  Do you think if you
are critical of your SO on the net that you are not giving them a chance
to defend themselves.
