Has MyLot Put Strain On Your Relationship? Ruined It?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 73/100. DrMario (1363) 4 years ago

I see more and more discussions here about the significant others of MyLot members becomming disgruntled about the amount of time their partners spend here.

MyLot can be addicting, but some members spend half of the day here and neglect their other responsibilities.
I have been guilty of this too, and it did cause conflict with my wife. I think I have found a balance now and limit my time here so that I'm not always found plucking away at the keyboard while she looks at the back of my head.

I wonder exactly how many members here have had a conflict with their SO's over the amount of time they spend here...

Did your SO make it clear that they felt neglected?

Did they give you an ultimatum to quit or spend a reasonable amount of time posting?

Did they bash MyLot and you too?

Did you give the dog a bath today?

My significant others would never tell me I am spending too much time here DrMario.
He knows each and every friend I have lives in my computer.
He has never once complained about how much time I spend here.

Err... No I could not catch any of the neighbours dogs to bath them.

No I have never had a conflict with my hubby about spending too much time on here and he could have done as when I first joined I was glued to the keyboard all day and night. So I have never had to be given an ultimatum, mind you, he probably knew that if he did he would have lost, ha!!

No dog bathing though today, do not have one at present.

My kids used to get pretty upset with me. Since I'm not married I doubt I'll ever be married again thanks to myLot I spend my spare time here instead of out in the world looking for a man. So I guess I can safely say myLot ruined my life. I wonder if I can sue?

no it really never has
I am really not the type to neglect everything around me just to be on the computer
this place doesnt pay enough for me to get all consumed
honestly my hubby would rather have me on mylot than some other social networking site like myspace or fubar
and no I didnt give the dog a bath because its just too chilly out
they might catch a cold or something (or I might considering that I usually end up getting wetter than the dogs LOL)

Yes, Mylot has caused problems in my marriage, but it's not just Mylot. Over the years my time online has caused problems because I go through these bouts where I get obsessed with something and my husband complains about it.

So I make sure to involve him to the point where he rather I just leave him out of it...lol....but I NEVER EVER act secretive about what I'm doing online; he is free to follow my online activities. I hide nothing from him and I think that heads off any problems that might otherwise arise from him thinking I am being sneaky....lol

Actually Hubby and I are both members of MyLot and often talk over topics and discussions so it actually has made us even closer. We both have a big desk and they are set up in our extra bedroom, or office as we call it, facing each other so we can talk to each other and share things we are doing online. It works out really well for us.

BTW, I couldn't give my dog a bath today since he's passed away and I wouldn't even attempt to give our cat Morgana a bath unless I was planning a trip to the ER.

Well... not really mylot per se. I use 'computer time' in a lot of creative ways. Aside from here, I spend a lot of time on facebook and sometimes youtube and just other searching and browsing.

My hubby likes to browse too, and game of course. Our computers are on the same desk and they are in the master, so not only do we not have to look at the backs of each other's heads, we can talk. There's a tv in here too so we can watch tv. Sometimes I plug in my headphones though if i don't want to hear show 875847 of fox news or msnbc or cnn or whatever. lol

Sometimes I get irritated with hubby when he wants to game all day. I used to do that too but now I usually just use the time to come here or facebook or something else, or I read. The only time it really causes conflict is if I have OTHER PLANS for him and his butt is sitting at the desk. Now THAT is very frustrating and you would think any man would forget about the computer in a situation like THAT... don't you?

He has never to my knowledge bashed mylot, not openly, and I haven't given the dog a bath but I'll prob give my daughter a bath when she's done eating lol.
