Could it be that I forgot to put on deoderant?

I think that I have discovered that I need to send him secret messages through Yahoo Answers.
Also, we are both enjoying your humorous responses. It will be hard to pick a best answer.

No. Your deoderant is fine.
Jesus came to seek and save the lost, and there are MANY who are lost.
Love,
A husband

It isn't a reflection on you at all.
It's the gravitational pull of Yahoo answers.
I understand him. I feel it too. I have only been a member for about a month I think, I got here by accident (not too good with computers), and it can be very addictive. I understand from long-term members that it does wear off over time.
My husband is away a lot, and I have school-age children, so when they're out the door, that's my me-time (after chores of course) and I love it.
It's quite physical. When I put the computer on, I feel my heart start to beat a little faster. I am a very private person, so the sheer anonymity of it is something I love. I feel animated. I love answering other people's questions, those with some depth as well as the truly ridiculous. I can ask things I would never ask anyone in my real day-to-day life. I feel a rush of gratitude to anyone who takes the time to even read, let alone answer my questions and help me with my little worries. Sometimes it's just a matter of needing another perspective to get my focus right, sometimes people have information on factual things that I really appreciate.
There are addictive elements to Yahoo Answers that you need to try to get your impulses to resist. For example, once you've answered one question, you get a little cyber pat-on-the-back, 2points, and the seductive lure:"You're on a roll, keep answering". It's very hard to stop. Then there's the hope of getting picked for Best Answer for something. The Joy! It's an overwhelming feeling for those who don't get much validation in their daily lives. Some of us, I mean some of them, really do the victory dance as the email suggests.
It's a most entertaining hobby, no doubt your husband feels this also. It will wear off, I'm told.
I am surprised though, that he is accessing Yahoo answers when you are available to him. To compete against Y!A, you must be compassionate, witty, funny, caring, sensitive, and full of praise and validation for him.
Good luck!

3 choices..... you pick
1. Maybe he has a lot of good information to pass along to those that need it.
2. Maybe he has a lot of questions that he needs answers for.
3. Maybe you've forgotten how to get his attention and keep it.

Nah -- it's probably that he finally feels like he can tell someone what to do and not get any back talk.

Because he probably thinks he knows everything and has to share his infinite wisdom.
