Title: Do your partners mind you being on here?
Post by: Roxy on February 15, 2010, 11:20:58 pm
My OH is not in the slightest bit interested in going on forums, in fact he does not go on the computer.   There again, he never has the chance with  me around!!  Sometimes I find myself chatting to him about something on here, or my horse forum, but he just cannot see the attraction.
I have even brought up the website of his favourite band, Status Quo, but even that did not inspire him!!

No, but my OH has his own forums. We met in a chat room linked to a F1 forum, where we both still post. Than he also posts on a Dr Who forum (avidly) plus he's probably a member of a few others as well. We sit on the sofa together in the evenings tapping away on our laptops. Sometimes we even talk to each other as well!

Forums have great uses, I knew someone who after she split up with her ex, using forums was her way of getting to talk with other adults without needing a babysitter.

how could he mind... its free, intelligent (mostly!!) friendly, and a mine of information!

Hes usually on e-bay, which can end up costing us ££££s!

And without some of you lovely people, we wouldnt have the ex-batt hens, baby guineapigs, and big plans for our place!!

My hubby loves to watch old war documentaries on telly so when I am on here he gets peace to, he does ask sometimes what I am laughing at, but he has no interest in forums. he spends ages on his e-mail and shopping.

Most of the time he doesn't mind cos he's doing something geeky on his computer next to me -
Sometimes though when he wants my attention he suddenly minds for a bit Fairness doesn't come into it
If I mind about his computer use, I am totally unreasonable......Pah!!!!!!

My hubby doesn't usually mind. He's computer phobic even though only mid 40s! I use my iPhone so I can sit in the lounge like right now while he watches some rubbish on the telly and I can go on the Internet. He only minds when i start laughing at the posts and he doesn't know what I'm laughing at. 

I am very good, and only go on a couple of horse forums, one for the Dales pony, and the other for the Fell pony!!  Although other breed  owners are welcome of course.  Oh and I go one that is for frugal people and poultry stuff, among other things.
