Husbands Who Reddit

Just like I am obsessed with blogging and Twitter, my husband has his own internet obsession.

Reddit.

I have tried to get into it, but I just can’t. For those of you that are not familiar, the best way to describe it would be the mans version of Pinterest.

My husband describes it as the Russian Roulette of the internet … you never know exactly what you are going to click on.

I should learn that anytime he is on his phone or iPad while laying on the couch he is probably on Reddit, but I don’t.

So at least once a day we have the following conversation:

Hubs: Laughing to himself

Kate: What?

Hubs: Nothing

Kate: What?

Hubs: Nothing, I am on Reddit.

Kate: Oh (as in oh nevermind, I probably don’t want to know what is making you laugh).

These are the funny moments that make me fall in love with him all over again.

  1. Interesting never heard of it but dont want to tell my husband about it. He is into his fishing forums that drive me nuts and this week he ran into camping forums…soooo interesting…not.

    • Oh fishing forums, I don’t think I could fake interest in that. You are MUCH stronger than me. Hubs is getting ready to sign up for a golf group, so I will be able to add that to my list as well.

  2. Hahaha the guys at work love it too. I don’t get it hahah.

  3. I’ve never heard of it…but I’m not going to introduce the husband to it (it may take away from my Pinterest time) ;)

  4. I’m a Redditor too! There’s a lot of interesting subreddits

    My favorite subreddits are http://www.reddit.com/r/aww/ :) Cute overload! and http://www.reddit.com/r/technology/ for Techy stuff. There’s MANY, MANY more subreddits and heck, you might find one you like. ;) So Reddit is definitely not a ‘man thing’. there’s women on there too.

  5. The boyfriend is a Redditor too! I feel your pain.

  6. I’m glad I’m not alone. Reddit is a huge annoyance in my relationship. My boyfriend is constantly glued to his iphone, and most of that time is spent on Reddit. I should be grateful he’s home on Reddit instead of doing other things, but I don’t understand why he can’t let a minute of silence pass without grabbing that phone.
    I get the appeal of Reddit. I like funny things on the internet, but Reddit is such a huge mixture of random that I’d rather just go right to the funny (memebase is my addiction).

    • It doesn’t bother me, because he is on it when I am on twitter or blogging, so I am glad he keeps himself amused or I would feel guilty. :) I love hearing him giggle reading it, but sometimes the stuff is a little wild for me.

  7. My ex-boyfriend loves Reddit. I can’t get into it either. Jalopnik is another guy obsession I can’t stand. Haha.

  8. Haha–that is so funny! My fiance hasn’t discovered this one yet–and I have no intention of getting him hooked on it! :) He does, however, have an app that lets you listen in on police dispatcher calls from pretty much anywhere in the world. Not really sure why that is entertaining, but he listens to it occasionally. Don’t worry, ladies, if the cops can’t handle it, my man is on duty…from our living room couch…lol. :) He makes me laugh every day…one of the many reasons I am marrying him. :)

  9. Haha…there is some random and funny stuff that comes up on it every now and then!

  10. I don’t understand Reddit either… luckily my husband uses his iPad for strategy games and articles on guns lol

  12. I have never heard of this! I’m gonna have to check it out and let Nate know about it. He’s always making fun of me for being so obsessed with Pinterest and my blog!

  13. Ha, I’ve never ventured into that particular corner of the internet. I’m generally the one giggling over some tweet or blog post and Joel is asking me what’s so funny.
