Does Your Spouse Share Your Computer With You

My hubby will only go online just a little bit. And then its in the front room and looking at the sports headlines. I wish he would come surf with me every once in a while. I will find this interesting discussion or fun website or crazy picture somewhere or maybe a test or quiz just for the fun of it and ask him to come look with me and............forget it. Always busy or got something else to do ...tired..etc. How can anyone NOT like the internet??

me and my wife both use the internet and our kids are starting to get into the computer now as well [goldberg55]

My husband is the opposite. He spends all of his free time on the internet. But what I dont get is he spends the bulk of it, probably 90% on ebay, just looking. To me, that would be boring. There is so much more to do. Pogo, checking on sports teams, jokes, you name it, but nope, he just wants to browse on ebay. Lol. It annoys me, and I dont even know why, I mean if thats what he wants to do with his spare time, it shouldnt bug me, but I just sit there thinking of all the more interesting stuff to do. [moonmagick]
Jejej , thats like my father! He stay all the free time on eBay but he doesn't buy. Maybe they have a eBay virus :) P.D Why don't you put eBay Jewelry page on the browser start page ? or the item that you like , maybe he buys it for you ;) [TheInteligentGuy]



There was a time when we only had one computer. My husband dominated the dang thing. I told him that he was to either share the computer or buy me a new one. Well, he bought the new one and gave me the old one. Still not happy, I griped about the computer that he gifted me was a piece of crap. He bought yet another new one and guess what......he kept it for himself and gave me his old one. A few years later, he did buy me a new computer. Now his is acting up. [ElusiveButterfly]
My husbands computer has been acting up and he yels at me like it's my fault, lmao, I haven't touched it since I got my laptop 8 months ago! [Vacant]


yes my wife does ,, any way it was really good discussion and i really liked it , and i gave + for that thanks and have good time , good luck [omidmao]


Cannot get hubby involved. Showed him what to do while I went on vacation last year and he just didn't do it. He will look over my shoulder sometimes but he just does not sit down to compute at all. He might play solitare though. Oh, well, I use it plenty. paying bills, emails, sites, surveys, occasional chat. Can't imagine sharing time with him on this computer. Some people I know of have a computer yet don't even turn it on every day. Some look at thier emails maybe 1 time a week. Go figure. [Willowlady]

My husband uses the computer in his room, my daughter uses the computer in her room and I use my laptop on the couch. Frankly, I don't like it when he sits and watches what I'm doing. He questions every picture on every page, like I put it there. He asks about every word I type. He even assumes that I know everybody in here personally, lol, it's enough to drive me crazy. We used to sit and play our Hoyle Casino game together. And sometimes we'd take turns in pogo, although I suppose we could all meet up in there from our own computers now. We spend some time with our daughter on her pc, she is only 5, but really very good with her computer. Sometimes she gets into games where the reading is a little beyond her, so we sit in with her for those..but most of the time she plays at sesame street or treehouse, or even bratz. [Vacant]

My wife has her own computer and we compare sites we've been to or sites that we visit regularly. It's great. Our kids surf the net to play flash games or watch some Anime on youtube. You could probably call us the net family hehe. [Agimat]

My husband is the same way but thanks fine with me. Because if were on it I would never get to be on mylot. So I am kinda glad for it. [TerryZ]

I have a desktop computer and my husband has his own laptop. Sometimes he will use my computer because he just doesn't feel like using his laptop. He surfs the web as much, if not more than I do, lol. We always show each other the funny jokes that our friends email us. Or if we see something interesting on the web, we will say, "Come here Hon, look at this." So we both have an equal interest in the internet. [pebbles724]

Nope he has his own. He came with one when I married him. lol We met on the internet little over 10 years ago and this year will be 8 years of marriage for us. He likes to surf e-bay and he has a Fishing and hunting forum he is involved in. He has a myspace and some other things. I have my computer and a laptop. I'm on more than he is. [shooie]

We share a computer but are usually on seperately. My husband does come and look when I ask and I come and look when he asks though. [simplysue]

My husband has his own computer and he'll work away on that and browse the internet. Sometimes we sit across the kitchen table, both at our laptops, and chat via msn. LOL! My daughter has her pc upstairs and I'm going to set her up on msn too. Then we can all talk together. [BittyBiddy]

My husband and I used to have to use separate computers because we were not very good at sharing the internet with each other. I tried looking for things on the internet that would interest him and since then we love to surf the internet together and see what crazy stuff there is out there. [usmcprincess]

We have 3 computers in the house. That does not include the laptop or his laptop for work. The girls share a computer & my husband & I each have our own. It works out for the best. That way neither one of us is mad because we can't use it. [crystal8577]

My husband and I do alot on the computer togerther. We both get emails from different people and we read them together instead of forwarding to each other. We also play games together on the computer alot. Its fun and a great way to spend time together. [hannarose27]

My husband is the same way he has no interest in the computer. Very rarely will he get on it and only if its something that he really needs to be on it for. I think his problem is that he seen how it ruined 3 marriages and doesnt want that to happen here. I still get on the computer as much and as often as I want but it still bothers him to an extent. [madtownsweety]

Yes i do share the computer with my spouse. We browse the net for things to buy or to gather information about a place we wish to visit. Its real fun surfing together. [vthluv]

I think it just gets to be too much for some people. If he doresn't work with a PC on his job, that may be a reason as well. My husband and I both have our own PC's and my son now has his own. We are always getting up and looking at something the other pulls up. [sedel1027]

me, my hubby, and kids all love the internet..my husbands spends just as much time as i do on here if not more lol [mbarryton]

No,she has her own.I quiet share in your amiable relaionship with your spouse but at times it is more interesting if it is shared once in a while. [ajisconic2000]

I have two computers in my office... a desktop and then my laptop which only I use (since it's for my work, I guard it like a hawk and don't want the family surfing on it LOL). My husband uses the desktop frequently, both for helping me with work if I need him and also for his own interests. He spends a LOT of time surfing for information about the unit his grandfather served in during WWII because he's very interested in Military and military history. He also does a lot of reading about long-haul trucking. Since we're usually in the same room, we often do the "hey look at this" or "listen to this" kind of thing. Funny thing, too... sometimes I'll have my laptop upstairs and he'll be on the computer in the office. We instant message each other, if we need anything LOL Darn technology ;) It's easier (and quieter) than yelling though! [thinkingoutloud]

try doing things that he likes, that way even he will try to take interst in ur work.... to create interest u need to take interst. [hemasonline]

we generally fight for the pc [roshni801]

Although we have 2 computers, side-by-side alsmot, my husband does not goof off as much as me on the Internet. He gets bored with it - I have no clue why. I can stay on the Internet all day long and just hang out... I love it. I do wish he shared that passion with me, but we have other stuff that we do together also. [reinydawn]

No, mine is like yours, he hates the internet...He says it takes too much time away from him and the kids...wahhh...lol...I still do what I'm supposed to. However, he will get on pogo and play games FOREVER!!! Funny how it's ok for him to do it, but not me. [Stephanie5]

No, she will not use it because she has an individual computer so she has no problem on accessing it. [vekyengineer]

me and my boyfriend do use each others computers sometimes if we are at each others houses...but with us not living together we tend to keep them seperate...but yes sometimes we use each others for checking emails etc [vicky_lane4987]

Yes, when I am not online she is working on a power point presentation or online to, so there are no problem for me to share the computer with her. [jossml]

My hubby will not come within 6 feet of the computer , he has no idea of it and he doesn't want to know lol , so I get it to myself xxxx [weemam]

Me and my husband goes online as well but in alternate manner. [penmaster]

My g/f and I are always sitting side-by-side on our computers(hers is a laptop) and sharing what we find interesting .She concentrates alot on the news part while I look at MyLot,or Everest.com [lonewolfnan]

Well, I don't really want to share my computer with any other people. I have some personal information stored in the computer and I don't think any encrypt way is good enough to protect this infomation. [billhunter]

I think it's hard for two people to surf at the same time, and so sometimes the effort of coming and looking is more than it's worth for the laugh you get out of one joke or whatnot. Some people just don't see the appeal of the internet. My husband only looks at sports and news sites, although sometimes he looks at the comics. [cutepenguin]

Sweetheart sometimes it's best to leave well enough alone. Many women have encouraged their spouses to get online and found that the constant flirting an sexual implications lead to extra marital affairs on the web and because many only exist there, the computer takes the place of the object of their affection. Sometimes their friends recommend sites that are sexually explicit and they are free causing one to rationalize and delve into the world of virtual reality. So count it all joy and keep your hubby to yourself. [LadyMooreSabb]

Is he on a computer all day at work? I know that when I was on a computer all day at work, sometimes I would come home and not want to have anything to do with the computer besides checking my email. But no, my partner and I do not share the computer either. He is tired too and would rather unwind watching TV and then go to bed. Not much time there talking, huh? But that is who he is also. He does have his own computer...so, sometimes when I am on one computer, he is on the other doing something he is interested in. We are not interested in the same things. So, that may be something that is a contributing factor also. [brokentia]

when i am surfing internet, i prefer to be alone, i dont want others around me to join me. [good1030]

Yup, my husband shares the computer with me. We're both in the IT field so we're really comfortable working with computers. Even our 1 year old daugther is already showing signs of her interest with computer. Every time, we use it, she would always want to join us. [clod0327]

my husband and I each have our own laptops so we do not have to share. he uses his for work and whatever. I use mine for bills, surfing ect. I let the kids on mine, but they know better then to touch dads. [stailgate]

My family always share internet with me. And i don't like it :p. It's not like i hate being with them, but our internet connection is satelite, so there is limit for us to use, and at time like that, i always the one who back up :)) [canikizu]

Only married persons can answer it. Ha Ha Ha... [abhi_0110]

My husband has his laptop and I have mine. He sits on a couch or the kitchen table and I am always sitting on the little couch. We will email things back and forth to each other. It is funny. Sometimes we will AIM each other. We are nuts! [ineedaname]

Very seldom does my husband get on my computer as a few years ago it got to be such a problem that we bought a lap top to go with our desktop. I am usually sitting at my computer and you will find him in the living room on his computer and wathching television. We really like to get on pogo and play games together on there. Usually we play against each other and that is fun. I just don't like to do this when he brings his computer to where I am because I know then that he is going to cheat to win the game. [cwgrlsarefun]

No we both have our own computers, across the hall in our house. He will comeback and plat Poker on line once in awhile, but rarely in the evening. He works from Home so he's on alot during the day when I am gone to wrok. He would rather watch Old black and white movies! Oye ! I can't imagine a nite without MYLOT :0) [matlgal]

your husband is just not interested with internet same as my mother, they just don't know what they are missing out. let him be. [andak2007]

Of course. I dont hide anything.. He knows well even my passwords. Its a matter of trusting. [jtmblossom]

Back in the Day, when we had fewer kids ;) my husband and I would play games online, mostly acrophobia and some old Yahoo! games. Lately we are way to busy but we often share humorous websites with each other. I'm with you - it's fun to play online with your spouse sitting right there. Plus with two brains, you can totally cheat at online games lol. [not4me]

My husband does not like the computer he will get on in the summer once in a while both our boys race go-carts and he will go on and check the points but that is only in the summer about once a week other then that he never goes on it. [kawillow74]

Both my hubby and I take turns on this one.. lol... it used to be pretty even but I've really been plugging away at Silver Sity (my website) lately.. improvements.. trying to turn into something wonderful and trying to earn money. Things have been pretty stressed around here lately because of finaces and at least when I'm working I feel like I'm doing something so he's been pretty much limited to checking his email in the mornings and going on for an hour or so in the evening to play at his games (slingo and netwinner and what not) while I cook dinner.. he's been really good about the whole thing... altho last night he commented that he'd rather have me go to bed and cuddle with him that the few cents I'd make cruising here so I'm going to try to take it easy... maybe mylot some in the morning instead of saving it all up for nighttime... lol of course this doesn't leave much time for the kids to go on... my daughter is pretty good about it.. she's not too much into the computer yet.. but my son is turning into a 'net junky just like his momma and it's driving him buggy. We've come to an agreement tho... as long as he doesn't drive me crazy whilel I'm trying to work I now let him stay up "ALL" night doing his habbo and faketown at least one night of the weekend. We have a 4 day school week here( mon-thurs) so sometimes I even let him stay up for 2 whole nights... lol... [imsilver]

mybe he's not interested on the site.. some guys use computers for importnt purpose and for their interest.. my boyfriend use computer whenever he wants to play games, check emails and all the stuff he is interested to browse... [sassygrace]

ofcourse we both share the single computer as such we are not so rich to buy a personal computers for all... [chatyang420]

In myh computer my husband do not use it. He don't like to use Internet. It is only for me....... [rajee2007]

I dun have a spouse yet. But I stay wth a friend and we both share the same computre. Though I dun like sm one sharing my computer still have to bear wth this. But very soon i m going to stay alone and i will hv full right on my computer. [ajaykumarmeher]

We have our own computers, each set up with different preferences, I like small font, he likes big. Although he is planning on going to the same OS I have when he can, that is another difference - I don't like his OS, he realy doesn't either but is stuck for now. [Debs_place]

We have only one computer. [zoopash]

My hubby is the same. Unless there is something he specifically wants to look at he doesn't bother with the net at all. He doesn't mind me being on though. It gives him time to watch his sport on TV and not feel guilty about not spending time with me. Works out well for us. [14missy]

I married a computer geek! So for me, I'm opposite of you. He has his computer and I have mine, BUT he has the FASTER one and I get the slowest one, so when he's gone, I use his LOL! I'm sick of slow! I gotta have my fast. He doesn't seem to understand it. He tries to get my computer working faster for me, but it's just old and about to go take a crap on me, so I just use his. So technically we share it. Now as for surfing together, sometimes. It just seriously depends on the subject. [craftyqueen2007]

My husband is same like yours as far as internet is concerned. He does not like to make friends, not even girl friends , though I have given him full freedom. He is also not interested in writing and discussing topics. All that he reads is some news or some jokes if sent by some friends. He likes to sit and watch National Geography on TV. He does not even play any games....while I am just opposite, I chat, I make friends, I share discussions, I read , I write, and even play games sometimes. Even I don't understand why internet is not so interesting for him. [apsara60]

I dont have a spouse yet but the bf and I get online a lot. Sometimes we'd get so bored that we'd play naval command on yahoo with each other. We do not share the same computer as we each have our own notebooks. [hopefoo]

Yes we do share the computer but not often. It is only when he has some problem with his laptop or blackberry. He is much more internet savvy then I am. I hate the days he shares my comp as I do not get to browse or play. [raveena]

Actually computer is brought by my wife. Even she is not using computer much. Only me is using computer ver much. She is not interested in internet also. [anchanvinay5]

yes, we work on it together and surf the web. i have several places i like and when we buy online,we looks for things together. get him interested in buying something on there. or if he has a favourite hobbie, moorcycles or so, show him a site. [sarah22]

yes myself and my wife we both use internet at the same time .iknow her password and she knows mine no secreats in between us.. [hiddenheartin]

nobody touches computer, except me at my house [workfromhome]

I use the internet more, but my huisband does use it also. He does love looking at funny things though. Trust me, leave well enough alone. I get tired of having to do work and hes sitting here playing games. I work at home and need my computer, lol...as soon as we get the money we will be buying a laptop for me. [babyblu1998]

Internet has all that of which we have need. every thing us piaccia, every thing we adore, every thing we imagine. Thanks to it we know of to, sometimes the love… as make someone not appreciate Internet? me always they are asked. [Jamiel]

Hi,I think every lady wants to get much more time with her husband.heheeeeeee [Tiffanyvstony]

my girlfriend doesnt like the internet.she likes nature,she likes to walk ,to play sports.to read,to travel.haha ,do you have such a girlfriend? [pretender12]

sorry i don't have any person to share my computer [yamahaguy78]

My wife does not use/share my computer.My son and me share/work on the computer. The likings are according to the choice of the person. [hariharbhat]

yes he does and believe me its fun! [tw99384]

it takes my husband at least an hour to type one line so he woould drive me mad if he was sitting with me . he has no interest but if he needs to look up something he will go on the net. [superbren]

we surf together, everything anything, even pron even this few lines............lol [rajikoshy]

Wife has her own and so she does not share mine but i will be more than glad to share if she ever asks!! [nzk786]

no cause he dont know nothing about computers. [sharond1]

Yes, my spouse does share the computer when he is home.. But he on the computer all the time at work so he isn't on it much at night or on the weekends. On the weekend he would rather take a nap then be on here [rlshaw]

My husband and I do share the internet. If he sees something for me to look at or vise versa. We take turns doing other things too. It is fun and is one of our main hobbies. We don't watch tv until time for bed, when we put on a dvd. I hope your husband realizes you two can have fun together on here. Good luck. [jbones32103]

My hubby has his own laptop in the living room. My pc is in the office. Once he gets into his games, it is hard to get him off it. It's not a question of not liking the net, you just need some down time. I do my computer work before my hubby gets home. We like to have quality time together. [spiritwolf52]

well i dont have a spouse but do have a girlfreind who lives next to my house and we do share our computer regularly [dandpani]

well i m single and so i dont have anyone to share my pc. but in future i will let my spouse to use my pc but with different users options coz i have gr8 collection of porn movies.. LOL [chintan_inc]

I use my laptop and my husband uses the desktop computer in another room [juliedee]

ya he'll share it.we always share everything.we even shae system.he'll play games for 1hr.i shal chatt chat for 20min and post for another 30min .give to himdis repeats untill we go to bed [artisweety]

no..because im not yet married.. but i hope we share our PC but we have laptops.. oh how i wish im married with my dreamguy.. [meishalicious]

i sit with my husband when hes on the computer. he goes to websites that we both enjoy so i wait til he gets home and we do it together. we love spending this time together. [peni88]

Yes we have one computer and she share for checking emails. [smartbrain69]

need to have to one to let u know [kumarkislay]

I have my own computer so I do not share it with anyone. Not even my family members can use my computer because it is my personal computer. I have lots of websites and emails and numerous documents that are just there in the files of my computer which are not hidden so it is but natural that I do not want my personal computer to be used by other people, even by my siblings and family members. [ernst111]

internet is like an electronic book... you can see thing but eventhough it's kind of like a book so people prefer to watch tv and spend less work to know thing's... if u read and tell what's the news in that page then he may be interested... [red_dragon]

i love internet. i think its better than tv . im addicted to mylot also.my hub shares his computer with me . [mrscinxav]

yes, we have two computers... [suzyangel08]

my husband and i each have our own computers, in our own offices. he actually has a few computers in his office. [sylviekitty]
well! same is the case with me. me and my wife both love internet. [bilalalikhan1]


The answer to your question would have to be that we fight over how is going to get on first lol . We both love the internet . We have another one upstairs for the children but don't have it hooked up as yet , they alawys want to be on also , even my three year old will cry that it is her turn . I believe that the people out there who don't enjoy the internet has to do with the fear of something they don't understand and don't realize how easy it is to get any info off of the net and how quick you can do it . There is something for everything on here no matter what there interests are . Just be grateful that he is not into it as much as you are as you would end up having to find something for him to do just to get on :) [samtaylorskykierajen]

Me & hubby download LOTS of music together? [daynagirl]

My husband and I use the computer a lot together. We like to download music, look at funny pics, and we read the news together. We also do our own things on the Internet. [tiff1496]

Oh my - no - he has his own PC and is usually working on that while I am on here. Fact is he likes to watch football (soccer) matches on line which would honestly drive me crazy - plus he likes to read the online newspapers and posrts news from his original home country (Argentina), so if he was on this computer he would always be arguing about what to look at! LOL! If I ask him to look at one specific thing on MyLot or wherever he will always do it, - but two PCs is definately the way to go in this household!! [rosie_123]

i and my wife both use internet.internet is the most interesting and entertaining of all. i dont know how can any1 dislike internet. I love internet and so do my wife.......i m fortunate. [bilalalikhan1]

not my spouse but i share my PC with my brother..maybe when i do get a spouse i'll shre it with her ! [rohitnair13]

My hubby goes online to check his email and if he has something important to look up on the net he will but thats about it. Oh and he also uses it as his private jukebox! He's go so many songs on it and the speakers are good so he'll have some beers and JD on the weekends and chill with it, I can't get near it then! I'm glad tho during the week because it gives me plenty of time so I can do my stuff on it too! [shirbump]

my boyfriend and i share a computer, he hardly ever goes on, just to check his emails and to check out ebay or to look at porn of course, but normally he just ask me to look something up for him [missyd79]
heck I have two computers and I use it while watching tv and answering my wife and all sorts of times. People in family call me up and I use it to answer their questions. I find it very useful. [msqtech]


I share my computer but she has her own. It is not working very well so I let her use mine. I find that some people have different priorities nothing wrong with that. He probably gets his fill at work of the world. [msqtech]
