Now I live in Beijing to gain my master degree, but my wife and my son live thouands of miles away. I can live together with my family for only about 2 months a year. I talk with my family by internet or by phone, and internet shorten the distance between my family and me. Do you have similar experiece? Do you think internet has strengthen the relation of our family? Or weaken?

If that's the case it will really strengthen family relation and it will be a lot more easier to communicate to our love one's abroad. But in my case I guess it weakens my family relationship. My husband often annoyed of me because I'm always at the front of my computer and i paid more attention at internet than doing the household chores. LOL! He is often upset with me and told me to let the connection be cut off.

I am sorry about your story. When my wife and I live together, we quarrel each other little. We have similar interest at computer and internet. About household, we have a deal and share the chore tasks. Hope you two have a good talk and get out some solution. Everything will be ok. Good luck!

I think it could go either way; some family get ripped apart by it because everyone goes to their room and ignores everyone else. For keeping in touch, there is no faster way than the internet unless you want to use a cell phone.
