How much should be shared?

I found this entry on a blogger's marriage counseling session intriguing, not just from the post itself, but from the whole "is-it-OK-or-not-OK-to-post-this?" discussion in the comments.

Personally, I find drawing an analogy between 'talking-between-girlfriends' and 'blogging-on-a-high-traffic-site-for-all-the-world-to-see' to be seriously flawed, but hey, I'm a guy, and Gen-X to boot. Having a concept of personal privacy is old-fashioned and seriously uncool, don't you know.

As is using the expression "cool", but oh well.

I dunno, man, I'm mostly with you on this one. Penelope certainly raises some good points about her husband knowing that he'd signed on to the public life early on, but.... But.

What happens between Yoko and me stays between Yoko and me. We made that commitment early on. Maybe that's the difference.

Good article, thanks. Looking forward to chatting with you two next week.
