You have nothing negative to say, ever, because you are so smitten with her perfectness.
It's fucking stupid because it's not true. But (and this is understandeable), you can't say anything negative because then you'd be an asshole. Same goes for her.
The thing is, and here's the thing, we don't fucking care about the positive shit (other than to hear something like, "everything was great" in response to a direct inquiry about how everything was).
So, until it breaks down and you start hating each other, no one (aside from Not Bob) wants to hear you two go back and forth trying to out-schmoopie each other. I'd rather read 10,000 posts between slave and paigow (and I think I have) talking about how they want to bash each other with bricks.

It is a tough situation. Fraught with perils. I've found that what works out best is if one person ignores the boards for the most part until summoned to them for some reason or another. If you are the person with custody of the boards, then you get to speak somewhat freely, though some speech is still surpressed (because of fear of the unexpected drop-by).
RT, whatever you do, don't point out to the board that it was balt who wanted to watch the show about Teddy Bears. that goes over not so well in my experience.
