Mr. Clod recognizes it as being important social interaction for me. He is interested in the stories I tell him about people here, and I show him pictures or funny posts, but he specifically chooses to stay away because he says he wants it to be my playground, not his.

Well, the option now is "don't check anything", but I will add one next time.

Husband tried it briefly, but doesn't see the appeal. He thinks it is silly to have internet friends that you send gifts to and post with on a regular basis.

My spouse knows about it, sees me surfing here, and I've shown him various pics and/or posts. He does not come here on his own. I think he has no interest in a website without a specific point. He reads and posts on gaming forums and some music related sites, but that's about it. I think I look at more kinky stuff on the internet than he does, but I don't snoop on him, so not totally sure.

Where is the "jealous of the time spent on the cellar" category? :)

I am only thinking of an ex here, so I need not apply anyway.

I voted "lurks occasionally," but that's not quite the case, as it implies that he comes on his own, reads, and leaves. Rather I'll send him a thread here and there that I think might be of interest, in hopes that it might entice him into participation.

He knows what The Cellar is, and has met several local Dwellars. "Knows about it and doesn't care" really didn't fit the situation, as it implies a sort of apathy. He cares, but he's not a BBS poster sort of fellow.

i don't have an SO but my family thinks I've made you all up.

They're right, we're just a figment of your imagination... ain't that right, Harvey.

Srsly. I told them I got a gift from my secret santa from the UK and they just looked at me like, "ah, there she goes again...we'll just nod and smile in our patronizing way and soon she'll grow tired of the delusion..."

They are a cynical lot.

Be thankful, Bri, they used to burn at the stake, women that made those kind of statements. :haha:

The Cellar: The Seinfeld show of internet forums

Ahhh, that explains a lot...

I wondered why I was suddenly feeling compelled to shop for sport coats with leather patches on the elbows.

My experience is like glatt and reg.joe. Most of the time she cares less, other times it really bugs her. It must be the competition.

Sooooo....who's Kramer?

Omg my husband hates it. You should hear the things he says...
