Does your significant other ever get mad because... ?

Question for people in relationships: Does your partner ever get a little angry with you because you are online too much? My man gets a little frustrated I think sometimes, but I wouldn't say MAD is the correct word to use. However, he's always sleepy, so ... But I know I am addicted to the internet. I see no harm in this, though, because I really am not hurting anyone. How do you feel about this, and what are your own experiences?

Well no he doesn't! I suffer with chronic pain and mobility problems so there isn't a lot I can do - he is happy that I have something to help keep me occupied and sane - or at least as sane as I get! lol In fact he bought me a new laptop last week! xxx

well, yes actually he does but you know what? HE does the same exact thing. I can not help it and I do not think he can either, but we are a very happy couple even though we both like to be on the computer and the internet. I have learned so much being on the internet it is just too much fun, I am sort of thinking I sould learn how to do programming too even though I am an insurance agent which I love, strange but true, but yes I need to fill that other time with other ways to make money. For me it is an outlet to make more money for my family for him it is strictly for entertainment. oh well, he knows what I am doing anyway so it is no big deal. We are still going strong, married for 12 years.

no because my boyfriend knows I make my money on the internet, and he uses his for business and pleasure as well.

No, he doesn't get mad because I have a certain schedule in my daily routinethat I always follow. I use the internet only when I'm done with all those things or when my baby is asleep in the afternoons. My family is my priority so my husband cannot complain on this.

Not really cause I'm only on the internet if he's at work or if he's busy doing something else-like playing video games.

Well, I'm in a relationship but not to the point where we have started to live together. I did come to a realization the other night that I would need to cut down my internet time when we are living together. He asked me a question about if I'd watch horror movies with him (cause he knows I get scared of them) and I told him "yeah of course, you'd be right there to protect me ;)." Anyway, it was then I realised if I was living with him and we are spending time together, internet time may cut down a significant amount. But I'm sure you guys can compromise, I mean I'll try to...cause he is very understanding about being fair to each other.
