Does your partner get "pissed off" when you're glued to your computer?

    hey there,

    just wondering if you guys happen to have arguments with your partner (lover/spouse etc) over you having spent "too much time" on your computer...literally ignoring everything else.

    feel free to share any stories you might have

    cheers!

    Yea she sure does haha. No woman wants you to be paying more attention to a computer then to her. Bloody kills them haha , helps to find her a hobby so she has something to do as well.

    Its not only computer ...
    it same for t.v and mobile .
    and worst thing is when you do give the m attention then they say
    you don't have any work or what!!!
    its impossible to understand them .

    My partner is very well aware that it is my job to sit in front of the computer.... so she does not mind it. But when at home, there is a restriction to limit the working to only few hours! :(

    My fiance used to but he is often glued to his XBox live and I had to nicely explain to him that while I am doing some leisure stuff on the computer, I also make money from it. I asked him to show me how much he makes off his XBox LOL He doesn't say anything anymore.

    I work from home and that is actually even more painful.

    I put the system on whether I'm sitting in front of it or not, so the complaint becomes like...I should have married a system :eek: But I guess by now people at home became pretty much aware that I cant live without it :p

    Well it's one way or the other in today's scenario.....i don't know when i will be logging in to my PC and she won't mind it either as she is also very techno-savvy.....it's just shared adjustment on both sides...
