[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 121114, member: 1991"] husband would agree with you, David. He started on this site by lurking and reading my posts. Sometimes what I'd post would be a crystallisation of my thoughts on something (either to do with difficult child 3, or somebody else's problem) and he would talk it over with me when we got home. Then he began to post occasionally using my sig (although always making it clear it was him, not me). It was beginning to confuse me when threads would indicate I had read them, when I hadn't; so he finally got his own membership. I remember a couple here who posted as a team - sometimes it was him, sometimes it was her, generally it was both of them. I could picture them sitting side by side, composing their posts together. Something husband & I have found - with him lurking, he got a better 'feel' for what I was thinking about certain topics and issues and it was far easier then for us both to be on the same page. I mean, we thought we were communicating well before, but now it's so much more effective. So tell him - go ahead, give it a go. If he's not sure then he should maybe just lurk for a while, get a feel. Or he could join, then PM some of the other blokes if he's wanting to avoid an overload of female opinion right at the start! I'm sure husband would love to post on this, as soon as I give him permission... [he just read this over my shoulder and made a VERY rude noise!] Marg [/QUOTE]
