A stray poll thread in IMHO on the SDMB (if that makes no sense to you, translate it as 'a particular subforum of a message board
lilairen reads' and it'll be fine) was asking about how many sexual partners people had had.
I what the helled and posted my stats, because I'm the world's most boring nonmonogamous person ever, and I say I'm the most boring nonmonogamous person ever in my original post to the thread. The thread goes on, and a few people express skepticism about numbers, and the original poster says, more or less, "Hey, come on people, it's not like we're going to tell your spouse."
I pointed out that my husband reads the board, but my boyfriend doesn't, not that either of them doesn't know this stuff.
Get a reply (from someone else) of, "Um... what? A husband and a boyfriend- do either of them know about the other?"
I'm not surprised by the "Um, what?", really, as that's not uncommon to being out, but the question ... presumes I'm not only the sort of unethical betraying asshole who would conceal important relationships from important people, but so stupid I'd expose myself in a post where I was pointing out that it was possible my husband might read the thread.
