We are seldom apart but when my husband is busy I usually do some housework and try to get some time logged into mylot. I don't like to jump on my computer while he is here because I feel like I'm ignoring him! He's not into computers at all and doesn't understand why I feel like I need to earn money on the internet because we're doing ok financially but it's hard for me to explain my "addiction" to the net...he laughs but I think most people who aren't into it usually do! What do you do while your s/o is busy or away? Are they into the computer and internet and understand your need to be on it?

My husband is gone a lot since he is a truck driver. I spend most of my time when he is away cleaning, taking care of the kids, writing, and various things on the computer. I spend quite a bit of time on the internet, but recently I've been getting into playing around with graphic design. I'm learning how to make digital scrap kits, and playing around with painting with Photoshop and PSP. Hoping that one day I can make some extra money doing something I love.

My my fiance is away I usually do all of my house work and get the house really clean. I usually prepare meals for the week, so he can take some for lunch and what not. He isn't that big on the computer as I am. But it doesn't bother him, because the times I am on is that he is at work, or he is sleeping so it doesn't bother him.

whenever my boyfriend is busy or away i just try to catch up on my friends or they end up complaining that i am not giving them time... sometimes i just complete my pending work from office or read books or surf the net.
