4 years ago I made a new years resolution to start documenting every single day of my life (a quick 3-4 sentences about what I did today, any fun shows/movies I watched, what lunch/dinner I ate. Regular stuff). The journal is online on my google docs - so there is a small chance my gf will see it if she uses my laptop for some reason and happens upon it.

1 month after I started journaling, I met my now SO, who I live with now. We both have no secrets otherwise, and really there's nothing in that journal which would be shocking or surprising to her (I guess the first month before I met her I was kind of a slut dating around).

Its just that initially when I was dating her I didn't mention "oh btw, later tonight I'll be documenting where we went on a date today" or that "yup tonight I'll document that I had sex with you".

And now its been 4 years of me documenting what has essentially been every single day of our life together - our first dates, our first kiss, first time we slept together, us moving in, me proposing, all the places we've been to together, all our sex, and even the evenings where we just cooked something and watched a movie.

Its sweet. But also creepy? I'm documenting my life, but by extension I'm documenting every single day of her life too since we're living together, from the dinners to movies and everything else. And this has kept me from even bringing it up.

And with every passing month, it becomes a bigger deal? What if she finds out after 10 years of us being together?

I don't want to stop journaling because I really value that when I'm 80 with fading memories I'll be able to read back on my entire life. But should I tell her that "hey, btw, your life is being documented".

Should I tell my gf I'm documenting our life together? Should I just keep journaling? I don't want to stop keeping the journal, because it's awesome, but I don't think its appropriate to have my gf know about the journal.

How you would feel if you found out that your SO had been keeping a journal for the last 3-4 years since you began dating, detailing every single day of your life together? Would you want to know? Would you care? Would it be creepy or would you just be
