Since I have joined mylots my husband thinks I have an online boyfriend.. He says I'm always on the computer now and the other night I couldn't sleep (because I was thinking about mylot topics..lol) so i came downstairs and got on mylot... When i went back up and got in bed he said what were you talking to your boyfriend.. And he keeps saying it.. I told him I'm just addicted to MYLOTS.. but he is very concerned... How can I get him to believe me..

Talk to him about what you're doing. Explain to him what mylot is and tell him that you'd really like to show him what you do online. Open up mylot, show him your profile and show him the discussion topics you've started, show him the treads you've replied to. Show him that you're not up to anything at all besides visiting a message board.

Why would you jump out of bed in the early hours of the morning going downstairs to sit on the computer then re-surface after an hour or two, does he snore so much that he keeps you awake which annoys you that you'd rather go mylot.com?

Stay away from the computer as much as you can. If you are getting out of bed at night and going to the computer, you are addicted. If you are thinking of topics for your discussions, keep a pen and pad by your bedside and write them down. Maybe if you do this before you go to sleep you will be able to sleep better. Kind of like keeping a diary.

I agree with ElusiveButterfly. If you are addicted to the point where you can't sleep, you may need to take a step back. If your husband is jealous of the time you spend on the computer, take a night or two to spend with him instead. Not because you feel guilty, since you have nothing to feel guilty about, just to reassure him that you love him and want to spend time with him too. But also, try to have him look at what you have been doing online. Show him your discussions and responses. If he is understanding he will see that you are not "cheating", just chatting online. Good Luck!

I would say let him sit with you sometime when you're on mylot. Show him around and show him what you're doing- Also possibly show him the $$ you are going to get with posting discussions and answering them. He will realize that this is just a website-- and that you're not cheating. Heck you don't even post your picture. : )

I think maybe you should start taking some breaks from mylot. Start spending a little bit of time with your husband. Being addicted to discussing topics with people whom you have never met is not healthy. It is not bad but defiantly something to consider.

I think you need to open mylot site infront of your hubby to show all the posts you have made & replied so that he knows the truth. Ans d hopefully once he finds out how interesting, nice place mylot is he will also surely to join too. So he won't have anything to complain about. But you shouldn't neglect your hubby esp. not leave him at night to be on mylot so that he feels awful & feels concerned. If you have new idea to post write in a writing pad near your bed. Do pamper and take good care of him, as one needs to communicate and express their emotions more often since no one likes to be taken for granted. good luck. hope things works out well for you.

does your husband ever around when you are on the computer? have him sit with you. my husband looks over my sholder all the time. it dont bother me at all, and it gives him the since to know what is going on. mine used to feel the way yours does, but not any more. its worth a try. if you are on when he is there, start talking to him and have him sit with you. he can see what you are doing and your spending time with him at the same time. Good luck.

i completly agree- men are very cautious about online *boyfriends* sign him up for his own mylot account and see what he does with it. I bet you will find that he pushing you away from the computer to get into his own account :)

It's funny you say this. My husband tries to get the topic of himself being addicted to an online video game and throws me liking myLot as the same thing. I'm on myLot for a short time, usually when the kids are at school or in bed and I'm alone. He stays on online game for 8 - 10 hours straight and longer, ignoring the family.Only difference between the two is I'm not chatting with men individually and his has women involved in an online communication for his game. You tell me who's cheating on who now. To get him to believe you about what you're doing on myLot have him read your discussions that you've created, participated, or read any messages you may have from friends and see for himself.

Well, I think you need to be very careful with this addiction. be moderate. Then let him be a member. when he is a member, that will reduce you involvement in mylot discussions. Again, you can always make him sit beside you to contribute to what you want to post as discussion/response. If he does not wish to be a member, you can always make him to sit at the PC and make posts on your account. Please be careful.

Drag him to your computer and show him what mylot looks like and all the discussions.

Hey, that's really sad. Make him understand what myLot is, and make him addict too. That is the only way and show your paypal account. The balance might calm him down, i hope.
