Thanks Rlyss!!
If Dave were on the board, I'd refer to his as his screen name not Dave
I think it would be really difficult to take part in discussions in exhibition, general discussion, living, sexuality and the playground if have a SO and NOT mention them by name. If you're taking part in intellectual, adult topics why one earth wouldnt you mention your SO by name? I like seeing the connections of the people on the board....its nice to know that there are indeed other kinds of couples in the world (like Dave and I) that do share everything and have the adult level of openess and understanding in their relationships that allow them to share their REAL selves with the rest of us.
Too many people spend their time saying things like..if my SO knew I was on a message board they'd kill me....or something to that affect.
I dont believe in any relationship where you have to hide your activities, whether they be internet ones or real life ones is healthy for either partner.
