Online diary
Hi everyone. My partner and I have been through all sorts of arguments and things in the past, but for the past month or two things have been going rather well.
Now something' happened. She's discovered my Livejournal from last year when I was with someone else, and now she's upset. I don't know if it's more because I wrote a lot about my partner a the time (which was fair enough, I didn't even know my current partner at that time) or she's upset because I haven't kept an online diary while I've been with her.
I didn't, and don't want to delete my old Livejournal because even though it's all about an ex-partner, it's almost two years of my life written down, recorded, that I can look back on and laugh about when I'm 50.
I don't think she has a right to get annoyed at what she's reading, since it was back then, but she has some firm views about how couples should keep absolutely no secrets, and how my past is somehow her business. Until now we've sort of been able to keep our differing views in check (I firmly believe that my past is my past, and is (politely) none of her business), and that even though we're a couple, we are entitled to our own privacy).
Now she's gone off in a huff and won't speak to me, and it's been a while now. How the heck do I resolve something like this? I want to say simply 'That was then, and you have no right to be angry' but she's just not the type to accept that.
What do I do?
