Ladies and gentleman, this is John, the first BTer I ever actually met in person. He picked me up at the train station and took me to the Super 8.


I think you might have been the first NON local BTer I ever met.  And even then, I had only met maybe 4-5 locals...


That was, like, three years ago? Dang.

Funny I have only been on BT for about 8 months now. The first person I met from here turned out to be an old Friend from College that both her and I parted ways for some reason or another.  15 years later we passed by each other once and I thought it was her, she moved back to town. Then discreetly we planned on meeting up for coffee Via BT without even knowing it was each other.

Long story short. It was cool to run back into her and she is now my main training partner and we work out 5-6 days a week together. Except on fast run days.. Then I only see her for a few mins at the start and the end when I catch up and she has stopped... haha.

It's cool, I'll buy you a cane with the BT logo on it

The first BTers I met whom I didn't already know from before were all newbies in LA, too. I only saw one of them again, either online or in person.

This is how big of a dork I am - I just looked.
I knew I met Linda at a race and yep it was in a 2007 race report. OLD BALLZ right here!! I have to say though, that meeting her was one of the best things. She and I have been supporting each other ever since... all the way to our first Ironman finish. Awwwww. We had so much fun we're doing it again this year

2008 was when I met the "cool kids" at Kansas 70.3 - Tony, Jazz, AmyJo, etc.

Yes and we're walking, we're walking ... over here you have the `banned room' that holds, well, really only one person. Once a person is banned his or her name is erased from all memory banks. It's as if they didn't exist. Over there is the `I quit because you are all perverted and stupid' room where Rynamite and ATXTri cohabitate, living in sin daily. And then there's this room, which contains people like Mr. Hangloose who hasn't been heard from for years and then one day, poof, there he is ...

And we're walking, we're walking ...

lisac957 - 2011-01-27 9:06 AM Thought-provoking TAN question of the day!

How do you feel about your significant other "snooping" around in things like your personal computer or cell phone? Reading your emails and texts? Your PMs on Facebook or BT?

Is that acceptable since you shouldn't be hiding stuff, or should there be some sense of privacy even in a committed relationship?

Discuss.
 


I think it's a trust issue...

I have nothing to hide, but it bugs the CRAP out of me when she get's into my phone or onto my FB page...  It's not that I demand privacy, but I should also just be given it...  It's a pet peeve of mine.  What sucks, is when I have to play 20 questions about who or why someone it sending me a message.

To be honest, I don't ask or even CARE to look at her stuff.  I don't feel the need to.  She doesn't do anything for me to not trust her.

I try to have the conversation with her "what if I questioned every TM/tweet/fb post you get?"  I would be "questioning" her 24/7.  Granted, when a TM comes at 1am????  I'm like "who the eff is TMing you at this hour?".  But I don't push for an answer.  It's more of an expression of my unhappyness.

I think privacy should be respected and there should be trust between spouces/bf-gf.

Let me caveate...  If there is a bad feeling?  Or if one or both persons are starting to act odd?  Basically, if something is "up"???  I think looking is not as good as having a conversation, but within reason.


I'm just a stalker, Leeeeeeeeeeeeeeee saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.  Sorry.

FILL is definitely my stalker

I asked the question cause I have a good friend whose girlfriend told him she'd been snooping, and now he's having some trust issues. They went through some other trust issues recently, so to him, now it seems like she is looking for more reasons to "catch" him doing something wrong.

I told him... CLEARLY you are not in the Trust Tree. Which is understandable considering their situation.
 
I just wonder how long this behavior should be allowed to go on? To be fair to her, he DID do something to break her trust. But is she allowed to stalk his privacy for the rest of their lives, trying to catch him?

To me, you either trust someone or you don't. If you can't trust them enough to not snoop when you have the opportunity, you need to re-evaluate your relationship.

And yes, I've snooped before.

To me, it is the word "snooping" that gives me problems. I do not mind if I am asked about or even asked if the wife can read FB, texts or anything, but knowing that someone is sneaking around doing it means that they know they shouldn't be doing it.

My $0.02: If she's looking that hard, she doesn't trust. There are degrees of transgression and, if he crosses over there, she'll know. Don't go digging for little stuff because you're only tearing down trust and not building it. If she finds nothing, does that mean he's OK? Only for now and not next week?

She doesn't trust him and, if as you say he DID break her trust, probably shouldn't to any degree. Either wholesale forgive the breech or drop the relationship. Toptoeing around looking for problems helps nothing.

I don't snoop, nor would I ever accept anyone snooping through my things. 

Having said that - the ex did something to break my trust before we were married, and until I felt okay with the situation  we had an agreement that his life was going to be a completely open book and I was able to bring up the incident and question him at length about it as often as I needed to until I was satisfied.  It took a while, but we did work things out for a while... then again, we all know how that chapter of my life ended.  Should I have snooped more after we were married?  I don't think so.  The trust and communication should have been there.  The trust was (shame on me to fool me twice) but the communication wasn't.
