Because I don't and It's very frustrating.My hubby thinks that whatever I'm trying to do is a total waste of time.He will do anything to not let me be in front of the PC if I'll be "working" online.

I am one of the fortunate ones to be supported at home for working online. I have seen that it is usually linked to how you are able to "perform" and how much money you can bring in at the end of the month. If it is a decent amount of money there is no reason why folks at home should not support you. For this, you may need to work a mix of things to do online, since only one method may not pay you well. For example, if you can write good articles, you can write for paid article sites like Constant Content where you can sell your article easily for $100 with full rights. Another example is with blogging - by monetizing a good blog you can earn excellent money like Yaro Storak the famous blogger. Once people at home see you earning well they will encourage you to work online. Having said that, it is also important to spend quality time with your family and prevent yourself from sacrificing family time by spending more time online. So, if you can spend enough time with your family and also manage to earn well online, you will then have a win-win situation. A good tip would be to buy your hubby a nice present with the money that you earn online and tell him that when you give him the present:-)!

Thanks for the response.I can totally agree with you.I can't make much in the begging,there are a lot of things to learn,and a lot of mistakes to be avoided.That's why I need support and not additional pressure.But I'm optimistic as always and believe in the good outcome.

I had the exact same problem tanu6a, and I don't have any answers either. But it sure adds to the stress level. It's like you have to sneak around and you're not even being unfaithful! But that's when I noticed (after 20 some years) that there wasn't much of anything that was "good enough".

My husband is very supportive, but that is because I have my own computer, therefore I don't interfere with his computer time. I got a laptop so I can sit in my recliner and work, and it has definately kept the peace in our household. Maybe you could look into getting a used laptop somewhere.

My fiancee has been doing this for a while. I dont mind because it means I can play on my games but she decided that I would like myLot. She has been here for a while and I can see why she spends so much time here as its a good site there are some really good discussions! Dont let him push you around! Tell him that you are building a better life for yourself and him and he should support you in it. Thats what I have said to my partner and she seems happy with it! Try doing what my partner has done and get him involved!
