Privacy on a public scale

Many of you will ask why I started a new blog in a new place, and the answer is simple: I needed a new place to vent about my life where my significant other did not feel obligated to read. That's a lousy explanation, but a lot of what is going on in my life directly involves him, and I wanted a forum where I could air question and concerns without having to worry about hurting his feelings, even if my concerns were not meant to be hurtful. I'm not doing a good job of this. My life is about to change in a drastic way, or rather, our life together is about to change, and these changes are good, but they are also scary, and I want my friends to know what is going on with me and how I am coping with these changes.
