Does your partner ever get mad about the time you spend online?

yes sometimes he do get upset but i tell iam working and i need time to do my work he don,t always agree but thats ok i do it any way.working on line is time consuming.

Thankfully no.She uses that time for herself to do her own things.At time I wonder whether she is happy that I am not disturbing her in her activities. Well at time she looks upset if I am too busy in Mylot for an appointment.But I always manage to get the cue somehow or other to close my pc on time to go our with her.

No not at all and if my husband DID ever get mad I'd just point and laugh at him...I dont neglect my housework, cooking, cleaning, the kids etc etc AND since I dont work anymore and dont go anywhere (we live in the country, I dont drive etc) he knows that my online time is my social and entertainment time and wouldnt even think about stressing me over it..

There was this one time when my husband got upset with me. I asked him to bring home my favorite snack after he got off from work. Because he knew that I would be upset if he didn't bring me that, he tried several stores to look for that particular snack. When he got home, he was expecting me to be waiting for him and my favorite snack. But what he saw, really annoyed him big time. Not only was I not waiting for him, but I was glued to the monitor, Mylotting. He told me that he brought my snack and I think, I absent-mindedly told him to just put it on the table, without even looking at him. He didn't say anything for a full minute, just stood there, looking at me. Then he just turned his back and walked away. But he didn't talk to me for a full whole day after that. After that incident, I learned my lesson. Whenever I'm online, especially Mylotting, I still make sure that I let my husband know... that I know that he still EXISTS!

Yes, he does get mad most of the time that I am online which pays 2C.

I can spend hours upon hours looking around at junk on the computer. He spends a few hours and gets bored. We each have our own laptop, so it's not a matter of one being on the computer while the other sits with nothing to do. He does get jealous though. It always seems to be the time I'm actually getting into something, like if I'm writing or whatever and he'll come over and start talking about something I have absolutely no interest in. Then I have to stop what I'm doing and try to listen, even though he can see I'm really into it. So, he'll start talking and then say, oh, were you writing? And I'll say, "yes." I have to let him finish talking though or he won't leave me alone and will keep coming back.

We had to set up the older computer that's not on the internet to play card games so he'd quit whining about it.Usually I'd have to wait for one of the kids to get off the computer but not so much now.So now he doesn't whine as much but when we divorce he may not get to take it with him..

Yes all the time, I am always online doing research and checking mail and playing games i tend to skip on my chores, bad me..

Nope he doesn't get mad about the amount that I'm online as long as the housework doesn't get too far behind. Plus him and I play an online game together its called World of Warcraft. But I always put my family first, housework then the internet. So that's why he doesn't get mad at me because he knows I'll always keep that order.

my partener rarely gets upset about the amount of time i spend online,but thats because i've cut it down alot im lucky if im online for more than two hours a day at the moment im that busy lol.

My husband never got mad at me whenever I spend time on line.Because I know my limitations.I don't go overtime.When it's time to sleep I stop.I can open as early as I can too.He understand always especially when I can't sleep at night.

My wife and I spend equal amounts of time online and off line. She mostly spends it online when I'm at work. I usually spend it online after the kids have gone to bed or when I am off on a vacation from my job, not necessarily a vacation as in traveling anywhere. Normally though, when we do travel anywhere, my wife brings her laptop so we can equally share time online an off line. I could see if the time that I spent online was a detriment to our relationship, then I'd say I'd have to choose. In any event, I'd choose my wife of course, no other relationship could be better than the one I have with her, outside of my relationship with my heavenly father of course.

No he don't get mad when I'm on the computer. He really has no room to talk if he did because he is on it just as much as I am. We usually take our turns . Some times I do get annoyed when he is on it because when he is on it he don't pay attention to anything around him. Even when I am talking to him he don't answer me. When I am on it I am still aware of what is going on around me and when he asks me a question or is telling me something I am still paying attention to him. He is more important than what I am doing on the computer.

I usually don't spend time online when my husband is home. I'd rather spend the time with him. We usually spend time talking, playing golf, doing outside activities together or maybe watching a movie. He hasn't been replaced by the computer, yet! LOL! Rhonda

You've asked a very interesting question. My answer to your question is in 'affirmative'. My better half does not like me that I should be on-line for more than 10-15 mintues, while at home. You may be right that she might feel jealous or neglected. She has no interest in the social networkind sites such as Mylot etc., so it is difficult to make her understnad about these sites. The pleasure and knowledge which I gain and I enjoy, while working on mylot etc. can only be felt and enjoyed by me. Excellent Post!

Hi There! When he was here, he does not have any issue in me getting online since we were always together when we go to Internet café to surf the internet. I go online when watching streaming movies or videos and he knows that. He never really get bothered since he knew that I will be just checking out my Friendster and multiply account or download some music and games… for the computer and my phone. Lolz… Goodluck! Thanks for the discussion! Happy New Year and Happy HOlidays! Cheers!

Hi Jen, my husband has his laptop, and I have my desktop. I spend a lot of time online, maybe even more than him. I think he feels a bit annoyed that I pay more attention to the PC than him; but well, he consoles himself by getting into online games.

not really, she get on the deck top and i get on my laptop. but sometime she might want me to watch a movie with her and i don't want too then she might.

He only gets upset when he has something he wants to work on and I'm using the computer. I tell him we need two but there are no funds for this. Maybe I'll start asking for donations.

ha!good question.i dont think of this problem before,just a moment ago i ask my bf about this question and he told me if we only have one lap in our home,he will let me use it.happy to hear that,thanks for your discussion,wish you good luck and happy new year!
