sharing computer sucks!

he belongs to a message board for his racing stuff. I go here. I type
in my title for my post, pulls up everything. I'm sure if I knew
computers at all I could erase the titles stored of my posts but I
don't. Meanwhile any post I make the title shows up. He knows about
me being here and my depression but I don't like to have things obvious
that he could see easily. Or anyone else coming on his computer seeing
the titles. I wish I had money for a laptop but that's a joke.

You need to clear your HISTORY. Its under internet options.

yes, or have separate logon accounts (I don't know if
that can be done under your OS) but even then root
has access to all.

Sorry he's hurt you packrat.

I do clear the history, but it doesn't clear in under the search
options such as when typing under a search engine or title of posts.
Shows me his history as well, which has brought up some discussions but
he's had this computer for quite some time. Just when I feel down and
struggling and am posting I don't like him able to look at the titles
of what I might write about. As far as I know, he doesn't know what
nick I post in under, but all it would take would be for him to look up
the name of a post and there it would be. I'm honestly not worried
about what I've posted here about him, because we do talk and talk
through stuff in reguards to the issues between him and I, but I would
hate for him going into my past here which is really bad at times.
He's mentioned being able to look it up and I've asked for him not to.
He doesn't deal with angst/emotional stuff well so I'm sure just a few
old posts of mine would be enough to nauseate him into not looking at
more. Kind of ironic I'm with someone who doesn't deal with that stuff
well and that's kind of the person I am, although I've toned it all
down a lot in the 8 months or so. I've also been happier since being
in a relationship.....imperfect though it be. He's a good guy, it's
just my heart is in much deeper than his and that's where much of my
current postings come from. I'd hate to give the impression that he's
abusive, mean, or anything like that. I'm just in deeper emotionally
and he doesn't quite get me on many things because I function highly
emotional and he doesn't do emotional all that well.

So how do I clear the search engine inquiries and entries for post
titles?? I've done the history and cookies in the past when I covered
being here. I'm living with him right now, and all my stuff is 3 hours
away so the option of going to my own place for posting isn't an
option. Thanks

OS? sorry, I'm really illiterate. But reguardless he will have access
to it all. His former gf, still has reminents left on this computer
and he had access to her stuff as well. I was the one who showed him
how to clear history and cookies because so much stuff showed up on
here. It's as I wrote above, the search engine inquiries and post
titles that i don't know how to clear.

He is a good person and a good man. He's great to my kids, although he
doesn't quite get my quirky, difficult youngest child as much as he
should, but he (bf) tries which is more than my ex ever did with my
oldest son. My heart is just too involved. I fell hard after awhile
and I think I may be in one of those situations where I'm the one in
love and he's enjoying being loved like I do. He does love me but I
doubt him being in love with me. He was burned so badly last time and
he was so vested in her. He's not ready to give that way. I was
burned even worse but I waited a lot longer before getting involved and
dating other people than he did. The other night he brought up
concerns of him thinking i might try to take him as she did...keep in
mind my ex took me for a hell of a lot worse than he ever got took.
It's not my style to burn people and use them for money or monetary
means and in fact even though unemployed through much of our
relationship, I ended up helping him out on many levels. It was the
ultimate slap in my face when he discussed with his friends his fears
of me taking him that made me almost walk away for good this last 2
days. My contract with my job ends soon, and I had planned on
extending, still likely will. Suddenly though I"m much colder and much
more reserved. I didn't give my heart easily because the last 2 men in
my life hurt me pretty bad but when I finally dropped my guard I fell
hard.
