About the time you spend on here? Mine Does. I have tried to get him involved, he has his own sign in and Avatar and he knows where to look for my Q&A but he still has to have a go sometimes because he is jealous and he thinks I am being secretive.
I think it's all pretty sad because I have given him Carte Blanch to look at my Q&A to prove that everything is above board.
He also, probably wrongly, has access to my e-mails. All I am trying to do is stop the petty arguments but, I have ended up with no privacy.
If I had Privacy, I would have to access it privately which is impossible because he is home all day and I am not!
Should I just give up the computer?

My hubby is annoyed all the time , full stop. He is annoyed when i am on the computer, he gets annoyed when i talk to him, everything i do annoys him. Nothing for him to be jealous on A&Q, what exactly is there to be jealous about it is not like you are in a Chat-room or something. :)

No. I am usually on here when I am waiting for the sleep meds to kick in. He likes to watch tv for a little while before sleep and I don't so he sets the timer and I do this for a while. Sometimes I am on here when I first wake up, when he is watching football or something else that I don't like. Most of the time we are together but lately he is sleeping a lot because he is taking chemo. He is not worried about the time I spend on here. He has no reason to worry and he knows it.
We have this computer and a laptop that he uses. We know each others passwords but I never use his and I doubt that he does mine.

Is this the same partner you told me that was breathing down your back? I got my b/f to get his own account on here also, so he could see what I was talking about. He would probably be more addicted than me, but he only has dial up and I have cable modem.Questions like yours make me realize that it may not be so bad living alone.If you give up the computer, that is letting him control you. It sounds like he is insecure and needs to find something else to do than invade your privacy. It is a matter of trust!

Don't you dare give up the computer! It seems like your other half has phases with his feelings about you and the computer and really if it wasn't this that he felt jealous about then it would be something else. You really shouldn't give in to his sulks etc., he has ample time to use the computer himself and he probably has hobbies of his own that you don't involve yourself in either so look on the computer as being your hobby. The next time he says anything about you being on your computer tell him you will give it up if he gives up.......whatever is his pride and joy (you know what we mean ). Please don't give this up coz you would leave an empty space on YA that no-one else could fill. xx

Yes it does cause some annoyance, meanwhile my wife spends a lot of time watching the TV and I don't complain about that.
I usually come on here after my wife has gone to bed so I am not a nuisance.

Thats a hard one. Either way you lose. I don't have the answer. But I'm sure there is one somewhere.
Would giving up your computer solve the problem or would it just transfer to something else you enjoy.
I hope you can find the answer both of you can live with.

My husband and I take turns on the computer. If I see something cute or funny, I either put it on my favourites or print it off. He does the same for me . We share things and this way no one feels left out.
DO NOT GIVE UP YOUR COMPUTER!!!
It is like when you have learned to drive. You have a new found freedom.

Wife isn't interested in how the computer works. All she does is write e-mails to her sister's now and then and sometimes she'll look for things to buy in the Internet or have me look for them.

Yes, she blames all my medical problems on the few hours I spend on the computer. According to her, I'd be cancer free, have no heart problems and be able to run like an antelope if I just got rid of the damnfangled computer. Hah, I said I'd consider it when she got rid of her telephone!!

I get teased and an occasional witty comment about watching true crime forensics to do away with him and meeting a new fellow in Q's and A's. But he's kidding. He knows he is my HERO! He wants me to give up cigs for the new year and it's fine with him if I swap addictions. This one shouldn't kill me.
