Do you view your computer as yours?

It's a question of mutual understanding, I had the exact same issue up until a few months ago. I've been unemployed for more than 18 months and I try to spend every free minute at my computer so that I can make some extra finances to support the family budget. During the day I do all the housework and as much online work as I can but the time is never enough so after I put my daughter to sleep in the evening, I start over. But many times mu husband occupied the computer (It's mine, for that matter) to watch films or videos on Youtube, so there were times when I have waited for him to finish for hours. Then my work continued until 3-4 AM. So I decided we should talk about this and we did and we just made a compromise and a schedule that was convenient for both of us. Talk and compromise, mutual understanding. That's the catch.

I do.I persuaded my mother to buy it for me and i use i mot of the time.It ahs served quite well and I'm not willing to barter it just yet for a newer or less sued one. I guess because I did have soemtihng or formed an attachment to it. Anyway, I also pay for its upkeep like repair or adding extra hardware. Also,my sibling doesn't touch my computer since he has his won and we have a difference when it comes to settings. I hate mine to have games in it since it will take a lot of memory and less time to do my work. Sharing internet is bad enough.

I share this computer with my husband and even that is sometimes a pain in the rear end to say the least. When he is home he wants to be on watching movies and I want to be here at MyLot. It makes things difficult, I cannot afford to buy another computer unfortunately! I wish I could. Lol. For the most part this is MY computer but my husband does go on it too sometimes...

I consider this mine :) My father bought this because I convinced him to buy this so I can have some online jobs and then he agreed. After how many months, my cousin who lives at our house can use this for some research but she was always making it sure that she uses it before I woke up or else she can't use it :) hahaha. I usually woke up at 9 or 10 am while she wakes up early at about 5:30-6 am because she's going to college. I used the computer the whole time for facebook and on line jobs and of course mylotting :) Sometimes I get tired and my mom would ask me to get out because she wanted to play Plant vs. Zombies and Dinner Dash hahaha. I don't allow my nephews to use my computer because I know kids are very aggressive and they might delete some files or maybe they might encounter a virus and I don't want it to happen. My cousin can use the computer if I would ask her if she wants to scan her facebook then she would use it. I feel very incomplete in a day if I can't be on my computer :)

Yes, I view my computer as something for me to use. I bought it with money I earned from working. Despite what anyone else says, I would think that because I purchased it with my money, it's mine.

Hey Dominique I feel your husband is being rude and inconsiderate of you this is a pure invasion of privacy. The computer is yours not His if he has the means of getting his own then he should do so. Like you said in your discussion here you dont bother him when he is playing his games and you dont invade his privacy by going on His game system while he is playing.it He should show more consideration for you. He should ask you first and say honey do you need to use the computer. Maybe there should be some sort of schedule in place so there is no conflict. And if that does not work then it time for Him to purchase His own then he can stay on it as long as he desires. Hope these suggestions help because right now you seems frustrated and at wits end. Father God in the Name of Jesus I Pray that you give this person wisdom knowledge and understanding in all things on how to deal with the situation at hand In Jesus Name I Pray Amen

My mother and I share the main computer that we have in our house, but it's no big deal because she doesn't use it that much. I am the one who uses it the most. I have two computers in my house. My desktop computer, which is the main home computer, and then there is my laptop which is my very own computer. I own it, I paid for it, and it's mine, but I use it for stuff that I can't use my main home computer for. Just recently, my family used my laptop to Skype my other family in Montana. That was pretty neat.

Since I live alone I don't share my computer with anyone. Sometimes when my son and d/i/l come over they may use it for a couple of minutes but that's ok as long as they don't download anything on it.

My husband and I have two laptops and two internet connections so we are both able to use the internet at the same time. In the beginning of our relationship we shared my computer and we often wanted to use it at the same time. That lead to several arguments, and it was a little stressful sometimes, because my husband was impatient and he kept asking me when he could use it. I am very happy that we have two computers now because that gives me more freedom and I am able to use the computer whenever I choose.

Yes, I view my computer as mine because I ought it with my own Monday. I have a laptop and my daughter has her own laptop. No one else uses my computer but me.

I feel the same way if it is your computer then you should have the right to be on it whenever you need it. I guess that is why me and my husband have our separate computers. Because my husband likes to do some internet searching whenever he comes home from work. With all the things that I like to do on my laptop I like to do gaming and surf the internet as well as mylot. So I spend a lot of time on my laptop whenever I am home from work. So it just be best if we had separate computers. Yea, if your husband likes to do all the things that he does then he should go out and buy his own computer especially if he has the money for it.

I own my computer, and hubby has his own too. We needed to have our own due to our work. It's hard to share when you both need to do some stuff in your computer. So hubby has a laptop and I have my netbook. I'm thankful that hubby don't play online games or any computer games anymore. She's very responsible now with doing stuff online and of course I'm a proud wife. Hubby and I don't argue about who would use the computer.

In this day and age where people do a variety of things on the internet including work, emails, writing, studying, research, news, etc. It's pretty crucial to have your own machine if you can afford it like you say he can.

Yeah I think I love my computer and love doing great things on it.I regularly do many great jobs and have access to all the time. As I can have complete control of myself and what I do I don't share my lovely computer much. Also my family members are not so fascinated by this . So I can be rest assured that my computer is my own!
