Since my boyfriend are checking all the sites that i am member, can he see all my post or if i am a member of this site? Like when i used search engine, can he see it? when i used search engine and im looking for something i never go to page 2 or the succeeding page. Is their anyway that somebody can see our discussion or see the members aside from joining this site?
I have nothing to hide, i just dont want him to see my discussion because i know he will not understand this. And i know he dont want me posting our situation. He will never understand what were doing here.

I think one can see everything on the web.I had a friend telling me that she had got to know all my web activities. All that you need to do is to type in a few relevant info about anyone and the serach leads to all your activities. It is easier for a person who knows the other person's name. If you are so particular about hiding any information , then dont give any private info about yourself..

I dont see any reason to hide my real identity but actually i dont have plan of sharing my life. But then sometimes you want to release some emotions and you dont want it to share with your friends so i decided to share it her also to see if im just being emotional or for me to see if i am wrong in what i did. sometimes we have blind side that we dont see but other people do.

If there is not absolute trust in a relationship, why bother trying. Does he not trust you, or do you write things here about your relationship that he will not like to read. If the two of you cannot be open about everything, or if he does not want you to have some privace, thus not trusting you, then you have no future together.
I am not saying this for no reason. I have seen it over and over again and have experienced it myself. My ex-girlfriend did not trust me so we broke up. How can one stay in a relationship if there is not trust.
I hope you make the right decision. Either speak to him asking if he trust you. You should also be able to speak to him about things that bother you. Don't talk to others about the things that bother you in your relationship, speak to him.
Well, I did not answer your question but instead gave you a counselling session. I just don't like to see people being in relationships where there is no trust.
Many blessings

That is great advice!
There is no point in sticking in a relationship which is obvisouly stepping on our freedom. This is now only a problem confined to this online area but if it got worse then the situation would be unpleasant. I agree that much thought should begiven to this.

I already explain everything and he still dont understand it. Im tired of explaining everything and then after the end of discussion, he still dont believe me. He will not also understand why im discussing my problem here in the net. He think that this net is a BS but he is using it, lol.

The only way to change your username is to cancel this account and start afresh - but is it worth it? There is a response later which offers a different angle to the whole problem and is very worth reading.

Anyone can see all of your discussions and everything you have done on myLot.
If your boyfriend is not a member, then he wont be able to respond to any of the discussions, but he can read what everyone else has said.
If you are worried about it, I would just tell your boyfriend about myLot. Hiding something from him is just asking for problems in the future. Tell him what you are doing and why. He might be more supportive than you think. If he gets upset about something you dont feel is a problem, is this the kind of person you really want to be with? It seems to me like there might be deeper problems then just myLot!

i told him once that i want to earn some bucks in the net. And then i told him that i want to sign up in some sites so i can earn a little extra. But he said, its BS. And i am crazy if i believe all of this. But even if he said no, i still join because i need cash, a little extra. if i can just tell him that why not support me so i will not do this. But i cant because he will tell me i am after his money. So here i am.

If I were you, I would tell him that you have joined these sites to earn some extra money. Tell him that you havent had to pay anything to join them. You arent paying for anything out of your pocket. If any of the sites end up not paying you, you have only lost your time. It is a worthy investment. When you do get paid (from myLot for example) you can show him that not all sites are scams and this is worth your time.
I really think you need to be open and honest about this. Even if he doubts the integrity of the sites, you shouldnt be afraid to tell him something. That isnt healthy for a relationship.

I dont think you can, I think you need to be a member to see discussions, log out then try and see a discussion to see if you can. Thats the only way I can think of to double check. If you dont want him seeing it that bad then make sure you log out everytime you have finished and clear your history. I know its alot to go through but if you really think he wont understand then it may be your on only resort.

When you have concerns about how posted information is used in forums, in many cases you can refer to the site's Privacy Policy. myLot's is posted here: http://www.mylot.com/o/privacy.aspx In their policy, they specifically remind members that this is a public site. Anything you post in the discussions area can be viewed by members and non-members alike and could even be pulled up in a search engine result, too, if someone were either searching for your name or perhaps a topic that you were writing about. myLot does take the time to caution us about disclosing personal information. Here is a snip from that Privacy Policy:
"Discussion Board
myLot is a self-regulated social network that encourages myLot members to interact with each other through a discussion board. The myLot discussion board is publicly displayed; meaning members and non-members can view any discussion. Please keep in mind that any private information that you voluntarily post on a discussion board will be displayed. For the safety of all myLot members, we would strongly discourage members from posting any personal information about themselves on a discussion board..."
It continues but that's basically the meat and potatoes of it. I hope this helps you, not only here at myLot, but also in regards to any other sites where you may decide to participate :)

Honestly i didnt read the whole part of the policy, and most of the time i didnt read the policy. Thanks for replying and posting part of this policy. Im not afraid that he will see me being a member of mylot. i see nothing wrong with it. the only part that i want to hide is me shouting the world what is happening to our life or even to my day to day life because he will not understand it. Also in any other site, im not afraid him to see me in any social networking because for one i never flirt to anyone or any member of any sites.

Yes! I've seen mylot so often on search engines. Remember we have tags each time you post a discussion, that's what the search engines use to reference a discussion here and it really works, they have very good search engine optimization in here. Nothing goes private even the stories that we post. When I search for something I see mylot discussions on the first page and they are really informative when it comes to data that you need.

just clear you history every time you log off and log out before you leave.
