[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 368827, member: 1233"] Is it time to break the tv and make sure there is no $$ available for a new one? Or to put some strict limits on when it can be on? At times my husband has become dependent on the computer to the point that he stops doing everything else but going to work. He would be on it before work, within 5 minutes of coming home, be nasty to anyone who interrupted him, etc.... I usually am nice about it for a while, then I try to talk to him and he is better for a couple of days, then I get mad and demand, then I take the keyboard and mouse. ALL of them because the man cannot hide anything to save his life. The mouse, etc... go into a locked area and he is a real jerk the first few days as he goes through withdrawal. After that he realizes what he had been doing and why it upsets me. Then he is good for a couple more years. It is a PITA because I feel more like his mom than his spouse, but it has to happen if we were to have survived those times. [/QUOTE]
