whats your other half think about you sitting on the org?

my missus is always on at me for sitting upstairs on sv650.org? she says i'm talking to people i dont know? but i feel like i sort of know you all?
any of you get any grief off her indoors?

Yeah and I dont spend that long on here! If I forget to do anything, she always blames me arsing about on t'interweb!

"you spend more time talking to that lot than you do talking to me!"

Stock response: "I can spend more time in the pub if you'd prefer."

I used to have that problem. I solved it by selling the PC, buying a laptop, and then finding a reason to supply myself with another laptop from work.

End result? Me and SWMBO both have our own laptops, and can sit on our sofas (we have a sofa each) not speaking for hours at a time.

Bliss.

he's as bad as i am, so it's more a case of us fighting eachother for use of the PC!

Solution:

Laptop + wireless internet connection = surf anywhere in the house.

She has here own forums that she chats on so it's very rare I get a look in on the pc! unless I get home from work b4 her

[Stingo]

She reckons I don't 'chat' much anymore... . She's normally busy plucking something anyway.. . If she reads this I'll probably be .

But really? I think I'm right in saying that she think's it's a little bit odd doing this forum thingy...she doesn't really rate it at all but then when it comes down to things of this nature, they are really low on her list of priorities...for example...mobile phone? Not bovvered...had one for a while - used it about thrice ish...

I managed to show her t'internet about 18 months ago - she likes Ebay, and will LOOK at other forums for info such as holidays, reviews etc. But a 'cybersocialising' thing? Nah...it's not for her...yet.

In that case mate, whenever you fancy a coffee, offer her one as you're passing (if you have to pass her to get to the kitchen - or take a minor detour).

Make yourself & her a coffee, put hers down infront of her, tut, and come back to us lot on the org

That way, she'll feel like you care (offering the coffee) but might also see your point.

If folks don't have different interests, a relationship can get very dull very quick. Despite what lovey dovey couples will tell you, there is such a thing as too much time together!
