Making good impression vs coming out clean about the blog

Duan had asked me recently how do I intend to go about with my blogging activities if all of a sudden I found myself committed to rush home early and if my future partner doesn’t approve of my blogging.

I told Duan that I don’t think I shall disclose to a possible future partner about my blogging if I thought it might pose a threat to a budding relationship. Duan warned me that my future partner might not be able to accept a few of my writings well – stuff like
ice skating, mountain climbing, my wish to bungy jump. And I haven’t even begin talking about my dream of sky diving and white water rafting…

It makes me wonder – since I have to give some good impression during the initial stage of ‘getting–to-know-each-other’, and Duan felt letting a Mr Possible reading my blog might not leave the best impression of me to him – then, when would be the best time for me to disclose to a possible future partner about the existence of this blog?

Jordan: Maybe one of these days I'll invite him to take a peek at my blog... But apparently he's been staying offline for the past 8 months or so (he used to be sort of a Net addict) and has no intention to start surfing again soon... So, at the moment - all is good ;-)

A.Z... in my humble opinion, i find that it is not necessary for "him" to see ur blog. Furthermore, not everything about you that "he" has to know...
Sometimes we need some privacy, a side of ourself that need not to be seen by the "other half" ...

up to you to decide. my husband does read my blog. the main one at least. if I don't want him to read, I just write at a more private blog.

drboring: someone told me the exact same thing... I guess I'll keep quiet about it for a while and go with the flow... while I agree that there are things that we don't have to share with the "other half", I hope this blog wouldn't be among those things...

nectar: will take what u said into consideration too. thank you
