i was kind of leaning towards not doing it. i could see him not caring, but i can also see him being annoyed. i doubt he would get angry. maybe about his "name". lol
If this guy is as important to you as it seems he is, my recommendation would be to not write about him on the blog. Your relationship with him should mean more to you than keeping a public blog interesting/going.
As far as sharing your blog with him goes ...
I've read through a lot of your archives since finding your blog a while back, and I don't think you have anything to hide at all. However, if I were in Dick's shoes, I would either prefer to never know about it (and to have no chance of stumbling across it and the references to me - meaning take it out of the public eye by hiding it, or archiving it for your own personal history purposes) OR I would want full disclosure - send me the link so I can read it at my will. Just my two pennies.
Good luck with the new relationship ... hope it turns out well! : )
I don't plan on doing it because the anonymity allows me to say what's on my mind without hurting anyone, it also allows me to whine and complain all I want while maintaining my pride in the real world. I wouldn't because this reads more like a diary, everyone needs their secrets.
I realize after your most recent post that this might be a moot point now, but I would just worry that it would affect how candid you are in your posts.
But I guess it could depend on his personality. PDH knows about my blog but doesn't read it and had/has no interest in it. WJM blogged about me after we broke up(anonymously but I still recognized myself) and it stung a little, but didn't bother me terribly.
I wouldn't, but I still haven't decided if I'll ever tell Hannah about mine.
