[QUOTE="witzend, post: 49618, member: 99"] Thanks all. I'm hopeful that this will help him to make some adjustments that are sorely needed. When husband and I were first together, I had some major situational issues that caused depression in me. He always seemed so easy going and level headed, if quiet. I realize now that he was just more easy going and level headed [i]than me[/i]. [img]:wink:[/img] We have had computers in the house since we were first dating 25 years ago - when no one had a computer. M got his computer issues from his dad. The problem is that husband wants to be on the computer 24/7, and I can't live like that anymore. I don't mind him being on the computer from time to time, or even every day. But for the past 10 -15 years, it's been all he does, to the exclusion of going anywhere or doing anything, even around the house. If I want to talk to him about anything, I have to call him away from the computer. He gets on as soon as dinner is over, and stays on until midnight or later.
