My ex used to do this.... sucks don't it? :(

Really!?! Yes. It's really annoying because it means you have to do whatever they say. :mad: The alternative though is that I talk all over his programmes so he's layed off a bit now.

Yay!! Cool, I never tried that. I just used to sulk

Another good one is the fact that I pay for sky, so when he USED to take the modem away, I'd take the digi card away. Fortunately we've grown up a bit since then. We realised petty squabbling got neither of us anywhere since we'd both end up sitting in silence sulking. I guess it's pretty funny when you think about it.

I always make sure we sit down and eat a meal together in the evening because it's quality time but I find it hard to sit and watch TV with him in the evening because I've got this problem where I talk all the way through. So I come on here and make you all suffer instead. When he gets annoyed, he just takes the modem away because he knows it annoys me and there's not much I can do about that.

I hear you there, I can't sit through the tv shows without commenting how bland/boring/cliched/naff/brain numbing they are, so here is surely better for everyone

I like to see it that way. It would pretty naive to think I don't annoy people here too though. :cool:

huh? No, just everytime I tell him he's a smart fella, he thinks I'm taking the P. Which is not the case, cos he is, and you think he'd know....I guess he's just a humble soul.

I'm on here more now because I still have two more weeks until go back to work, but even when he gets home we are both in the same room but on our laptops...I will fix dinner, then we watch some TV.....play some video games....make some love....and then it's all back to laptops...;)

Which, im not really, I try and involve him in the subject matter and tell him about things that are posted here...but he is not interested!!!! :eek:

Any one else in this situation???
Its bloody annoying!!!

oh yeah i can imagine how annoying it'd be for you to deal with your husband wanting to spend time with you. :rolleyes:
get off the damn computer and find common interests. save the computer for when he's not around or otherwise occupied.

I can't even believe this is a discussion. There's nothing more important than spending time with your husband, most especially not a message board.

I have this vision of him holding a modem up in the air while you jump up and down trying to retrieve it! It's a slow night here in Cali, sorry!

Your first port of call after he complained about you spending too much time here was... here.

Think about that.

Theres a bit more to the story!
Im a 25 year old mother of two, who has been with my husband for 6 years.
He gets home from work at around 4:30pm, during which I am getting dinner and the kids organised.
We have a beer and a smoke, help each other out.Have dinner, talk about the days events, he gets his shower, I bath the kids. We read books to the kids, put 'em to bed, rah rah rah....

Last night this was the usual routine. My husband had been saying ALL day there was a really good program on TV that he was looking forward to watching when the kids were in bed...I thought cool, though I wasnt particularly interested...so I got my laptop and sat NEXT to him on the couch...he was watching his show, I was on the net. I would say "Hey, check this interview out" or "This post is really funny". Then, other times I was half watching the program with him and say you know "Oh, is that the one whö...." bla bla bla. So it wasnt like I was completely ingoring him, I was trying to interact with him.

I feel good about being on here because with my lifestyle I dont actually get to talk to alot of other people, apart from the supermarket ladies etc. And not one of my friends like PJ!! My husband does, but gets sick of them easily.
So I feel, with all that I put into everyone else in my life, this is my outlet that gives something back to me. This is the one thing that I do just for myself. I try to tell my hubby, and he kinda gets it.
Dont be mistaken! My family comes first ALWAYS, I talk things over with my husband before I come on here, but I guess no-one really understands the reason why I like coming on this forum :rolleyes:

Can't you just do it when he's not around, or is he one of those hovering 'we have to be together every second types'?

you sat next to him on the sofa and yet still logged onto the net? you may as well have been completely ignoring him. nothing worse than someone 'being' with you and yet not being with you. would it have hurt you to watch the show with him and THEN logged on? or come straight out and say youre not interested in the show and you'd prefer to do something else while he did that. did you note the bit where you interrupted his viewing by trying to show him stuff he wasnt interested in cause he was trying to watch the show?

yes, it wouldve been hard to have logged on after his show, coz by that time it was late and he has this thing with me always having to go to bed with him at the same time...even though he falls staight asleep. He already knew I wasnt interested in the show, if I was interested I wouldve watched it, wouldnt I? Does that mean that just because I wasnt interested in his show, I shouldve watched it? Can I then force him to be on the pit when hes not interested? No, each of us has our own interests. All I was meaning, is that im entitled to mine without being made to feel guilty.
And if I went on when he was asleep, same story, he would think I was hiding something from him.
Geez, you cant say anything on here lately without someone finding fault or getting narky. All I wanted to know is if anyone else had had this problem!
