JA what zyg says is right a year ago or so i had the same problem with my now wife .we would fight about the time i spent on the computer if you sit back and think about it there is a life going on around you your wife kids all she wants is for you to pay attenion to her like you do to the forums.this is what i did i just started spending less time online 30mins here or there its alittle easier for me b/c my wife works nights.

sit down and talk to her tell that you have intrest on the forums but you will spend less time online and spend more time witrh her but you still want to be on the forums.....good luck ....

Juice,

Just how much time are you spending online? If it is most of your free time, then her gripe is legitimate. But if you're spending an hour a day on the boards, she's being irrational. Add up how much time she spends in a day on her hobbies...as the boards do constitute part of our bodybuilding lifestyle. How is participating on the boards any different than her watching T.V., for example? And don't let her pull the "we can watch TV together" argument off, since we all know it is a very small percent of the time that both partners in a relationship are both actually watching their first choice of programming simultaneosly. (for me, after sitcoms, it's night and day for prefrenece). Need more detailed account of the amout of time you're online to give an accurate assesment.

I have a pretty full life. I'm married with a 16 month old boy, run a financial services business own a few properties and am involved with my church on the weekends. I usually spend most of the time online when I get home from work during the week and sporadically on the weekends. We just found out tonight that she is pregnant with our second child!

Thanks guys. The news was a surprise as neither of us were expecting this, especially me since I just finished up with a cycle and my sperm count must have been on the low side.

Dude, after reading all that's going on in your lives, I'm afraid I have to take your wife's side in this argument if you're anything over 1/2 hour or so during the weekdays, and 1 hour on weekends. Congrats on the second child.

She's right. The problem is a like discussing the things we discuss here and she has zero interest in this stuff. Moderation is key. Unfortuntunately I have no idea what that words means.

i would say 3/4's of the people who are on elite all the time have serious social anxiety disorders and possibly personality disorders

Are you included in that 3/4's or are you part of the remaining 1/4?
