Bloggy Question 20 - A Significant Other Says "No Blog"

An Ultimato . . . as My Brother Would Say

For those who come looking for a short, thoughtful read, a blogging life discussion, or a way to gradually ease back into the week, I offer this Blogging Question.

A blogger friend, a great writer and thinker, someone who contributes thoughts, insights, and enthusiasm to every blog conversation you seem to be part of, has shared via email a problem at home. His significant other — a girlfriend of six months — has laid down an ultimatum.

He gives up the blog, or it’s the road for her.

She say’s it’s not the time he spends. He’s great about paying attention to his real-life commitments. She doesn’t like the idea that he has conversations that she’s not part of, and she has no interest in finding out why he enjoys blogging so much.

How do you respond?
