If you could have a guarantee that one, specific person was reading your blog, who would you want that person to be? Why? What do you want to say to them?
I would want my husband reading my blog. There I said it.
What would I want to say to him? It’s not what I want to say to him, if I wanted to say something to him I would say it the next time I met him. It’s what I want HIM to say.
Wouldn’t it be a dream if the next time we went out and we met someone he knew, he would introduce me as follows:
“This is my wife, she quit her job to look after our son and now she’s a brilliant writer!”
What can I say, I crave appreciation. And there’s no use telling him that I want to hear this because then it’s not the same, is it?
He does read what I write occasionally (sometimes I send him the link) and he does tell me it’s good but sorry that’s not good enough. He has to tell me it’s brilliant without my prompting him.
What is that you’re saying? Maybe I’m not brilliant after all? Well yes, that could be it 😦
But aren’t husbands SUPPOSED to say nice things about their wives?
So should I send him THIS link?

Yes, send him the link! 🙂 My husband is smart and actually signed up to be a follower so he gets email updates of every post, and he’ll usually make a mention of most of them. It really does make a huge difference to have that support from your significant other.
hehe will do! Your husband is smart but I suspect that you’re smarter 😉

I agree with Sarah…. Sometimes menfolk will need a little ‘pointing in the right direction’ (read clear and specific directions!)…after all they ARE from Mars!
Great so I have two votes now. 🙂 I guess you’re right. And they definitely are from Mars (Funny thing is mine works for Mars, the chocolate company)
Haha! No way! This is too much of a coincidence…now everytime he doesn’t understand your subtle hints, you can blame it on the chocolate company 😀
Haha yes it never occurred to me that THAT was the real problem 🙂

Well, at least your husband reads what you write sometimes (mine has NEVER read my blog!) At any rate, I think you should send him the link. Sometimes husbands need a little reminding 🙂
Really? He’s really missing out on something 😉
Well, he’s not much of a reader, and I’m not much for reading my stuff out loud 🙂
I don’t talk about my blog to family or friends, either. It’s easier to write when I don’t have to worry about someone reading more into it than they should.
Yes I can understand. Guess what I found out. My husband is actually following my blog! He made an account just to read my writing and reads whenever he has the time. How cool is that?
That’s great your husband follows your blog! Maybe he will give you more feedback now that you know 🙂

Turns out he is already following my blog and reading most of the stuff I write!
Wonderful!

NO! Don’t send him the link. You said it yourself, it wouldn’t be the same.
Maybe send him the link to some other post and he will find his way to this one? Maybe ask a friend to send it to him, but not yourself. (I mean, unless of course, you want to.)
Anyway, entertaining post, it was nice to read. I understand the feeling of wanting to be appreciated, even if only a little.
Haha, well what happened was that I found out that he is actually following my blog and reading what I write. He made an account and downloaded the app on his phone. Now all that remains is for him to give me proper feedback not just “It was good”. 🙂
