Id never say to anybody, nobody. Make sure you don't break down ..ha
For the ladies I can completely understand why they feel the safety reason to tell a close friend. Id think a close male friend maybe. Obviously not friends with hubby ..
You must trust them implicitly and I don't think you really can too easily these days. A previous lover would be a good start as a confidante .. just my 2 pennies.

No, definitely not as per a similar thread.......it would then lead to being found out !!!

I can understand a lady having someone she could tell though, even if just for her own safety

I have a few guys I know who know I’m on here ( they most likely are on it themselves)

I don’t tell anyone close as I feel like that’s putting them under pressure to keep secrets that they shouldn’t have too

If you are travelling regularly to see your IE then it’s good to touch base with a friend you can rely on …you have to think about if you break down/have an accident /personal safety …how are you going to explain your whereabouts?
If you’re supposed to be working then you have the perfect excuse and you don’t need your ‘special ‘ friend ..

These are the reasons I won’t travel so far and as I have said in my previous post …the only person that knows little me 😁

Also being divorced I don't have the jeopardy that others do. But IE is an odd kind of twilight zone that people outside of IE don't fully understand.

So if anyone I know happens to see me out with someone we "met on an on line dating site" usually stops any further requests for information.

I do confide though in a couple of lovely ladies I met on here from a previous occassion (on line not IRL). Sometimes it's nice to chat to someone who is part of this world. Have a vent, ask them if you're misreading something, and let them do the same with you.

One of them I get along with so comfortably that we've both said on more than one occassion, if it were not for the distance we'd both save a lot of hassle searching on here and most likely get along with each other quite nicely as IE's:-)

Definitely not what happens if you fall out
It can cause you lots of problems you don't want
So it's a no from me

Exotic Orchid…

Totally agree …you don’t tell anytime in your ‘regular’ life..the only person should know is the one inside your head …👍

One female friend who a) understands I’m trapped in my marriage and b) keeps an eye on my location on her phone if I’m meeting someone new.

She is a saint and I love her dearly.

Nope definitely not as loose lips sinks ships, so the fewer people who know the safer you are!
