I found this article interesting and kind of amusing. It discusses the use of blogs as a kind of relationship counseling, with people posting online what they really think about their significant others.

Some of the bloggers featured in the article find that blogging helps them sort out issues in their relationships and other areas of their lives. One woman claims that her husband reading her blog and responding in person has truly helped their marriage. Others have stories of breakups after a "secret" blog was found.

This seems a pretty risky game to me. Although writing down thoughts or feelings may be therapeutic, putting said feelings online may create a serious case of oversharing. One of my friends set up an online blog talking about her husband and their relationship, and, I'm ashamed to say, I check out their dysfunctional relationship whenever I'm feeling down. However, some people say blogging about personal issues helps them tremendously. It will be interesting to see if the trend in personal postings continues.
