I really enjoy mylotting. Sometimes when I start I just cannot stop. I get so carried away that I spend alot more time then planned and next thing I know its been hours! Now, I am okay with it overall but I think my husband is getting jealous! Its funny because for a while there he was going fishing about 3 days a week and it was hard on me because we had a new baby. Now its me actually doing something I enjoy and he cant handle it! I guess he is getting a taste of his own medicine. Although I guess I have to admit, I do feel a little guilty, but on the other hand I dont want to stop mylotting, or even cut down on time.
so, Maybe I will just try to plan my day better and go on at night when he's sleeping or while hes busy around the house.
so, my question is this:Does your partner ever get upset about how much time you spend on mylot?

My husband is always saying all he sees is the back of my head. I have a high back office chair. While he is watching TV he can't see me face to face. Most times he is so into what he is watching that I could be doing anything online and he would not notice. So I guess he is not jealous, he id doing his thing, I am doing mine. At least when I am on the computer and he says something to me I hear him and answer. When he is on the computer, he is so zoomed into what he is doing, for me it's like talking to the wall.

I know what you mean i'm so into making money.. but my husband thinks he has to compete with mylot.. I understand that i spend way to much time on my lot but he spends why to much time watching tv..
I feel like i have to compete with the tv.. My husband says my lot is why he doesn't pay me any attention but when i get off the of my lot i don't get any attention..
I don't understand why he doesn't like me being on my lot it keeps me busy from bugging him for attention.. I know i spend entirely to much time on my lot but why doesn't he stop watching tv when i get off my lot..
Maybe i need to get off the computer and give him attention but why do that if i don't get any attention back from him...

No not my hubby. My hubby can be a computer junky. In fact the joke is his laptop is his mistress. So often, when he goes online,so do I. I enjoy my mylot addiction. It actually has kept me from getingupset with my hubby for his computer time. lol

Well My fiance and I are both on mylot, so no he's not upset. We have a laptop and he uses his parents computer. It doesn't bother him that I am on here, because we both get on at the same time, so that we can talk to each other while were here. Maybe you could find a better way to schedule wherein you do it before breakfast, after lunch, and then sometime during the night. Also, wanted to say Welcome to Mylot and I hope you continue to enjoy it here!

That's funny! I do the same thing. I get all caught up on the computer and before I know it hours have went by! My husband used to get upset over it, but once he realized I was trying to find ways to make money on the computer, he didn't seem to mind so much.

Well, I am new to this whole mylot business. So, as of right now my husband doesn't get jealous, but if I did spend a lot of time on the computer he might. I would just plan around your husband so he doesn't get jealous and mylot doesn't become a strain on your marriage. I would just get on the computer when he goes fishing or is out doing whatever he does without you. Good luck.

I know my time runs away when I get on here as I enjoy reading the many comments and then some I reply to and other I just rate and go on. Surfing mylot is my new found hobby, I just really like it. My hubby hasn't a clue what it is, he just knows I spend quite a bit of time on the net and he does know that I get paid from some of the sites I go to.
I try to spend time with him when he is wanting attention or wanting to go out. I always make it a habit when he firsts gets home to discuss the days events and also maybe whatever he wants to talk about that happened. He will eventually wonder into the living room to watch TV for awhile and then I get on here and type away. I try to limit my time when he and the kids are home as that should be family time with them.
I would try talking to him to see if there is anything specific he is having a problem with or if it really is the time you are spending on the internet. Try giving him your attention by typing three comments then go walk through the living room or do some short task such as start a load of laundry or ask him in something then return and type a few more then get up and make another appearance just so you seem to not be on as much as he thinks..
Good Luck and I wish you all the best but I know I am addicted to mylot too.

My husband doesn't get upset about me being on mylot. He is so tied up in the television it doesn't matter. I am alright with him watching the television that way just as he is alright with me and my mylotting. So between us it is a mutual thing.

That's cute, maybe he is jealous fo you mylotting. Why not allot a time for mylot but when your husband is around, make sure you give him your attention. My husband doesn't even know what mylot is..... all he knows is that I like staying on the internet. And besides, when I'm with him and my daughter, I forget about my desktop and the internet altogether.

Hmm... That really sounds as if your husband is jealous over mylot. Funny, but it certainly could be.
My special someone does know that I do mylot. He knows how much time I spend it here. But the main reason why he isn't 'jealous' over it is because I involve him too.
Well, when I mean I involve him, it doesn't mean that I let him type or answer several questions. Instead, I actually discuss with him several of the interesting topics I see around mylot. I could safely say that mylot has even helped me open more topics to him which isn't always about work or about the worries of life. There are topics here which interests me a lot and I often ask him what his ideas are and I can sense that he enjoys talking to me more because of these 'topics' I got from mylot.
On the other hand, whatever we discuss helps me react more in mylot. Thus my expressions here and ideas are not limited to only one mind (mine). It also includes a part of my partner. Our ideas merged together so as to have a great discussion response. ;) hehe.
So there you do, try to avoid typing though when he's around. When he's there, it means it's time to talk. When he's not around, then it's time to do something else. ;)
Anyone would feel neglected if you always spend more time in front of the pc. It's like reading when someone is talking. And it's really rude.
Have the best time for you guys and a time for your mylot. And use what you have to your advantage.
Good luck and always remember that no amount of enjoyment could ever replace the person you love.

No, not at all. My boyfriend and I just relax for a few minutes when her gets home from work(I get home earlier), then he will usually play a video game while I fix dinner. We eat together, then we sit on the sofa together, he plays a video game and I will sit on Mylot.

I only do it if my family is asleep and I can't sleep. Maybe you can set a timer and a reasonable time that will not cut into your husbands time. It is easy to lose track of time when you are doing activities like this. Everyone needs their "hobbies" just like he needs his fishing because it probably interests him and relaxes him.
