Has anyone ever been divorced/ dumped over Forum obsession??

[Bens_Mum]

Following on from the OH for sale/ loan post I was wondering if anyone has any tips/ training methods for getting OH to accept HHO obsession?
Mine has accepted the horse, shetland, 4 dogs and even brought me new stables but apparently its rude to spend all evening online & distracting tapping when people are trying to watch tv?!! Last night I agreed to put the laptop in the kitchen and went but kept having to nip in and out to see what was going on not so subtly apparently...

Just wondered if anyone else has had these issues...?

Lol, just had The Discussion with hubby

.

We work on the basis that if hubby wants to watch telly, then I can sit with him and play on here. If he were to want to sit quietly without the telly on, then I'd turn this off

.

Hehe No BUT I did lose my job because of it - my HHO obsession gave me RSI hence had to give up the day job. Stop laughing this is/was deadly serious.

We're lucky, wife and I are addicted, we both sit with our laptops and some times comment on each others posts!!! Sad or what

 

[samstar]

Yep, hubbys leaving me so I'll have even more time on here

 

[grandmaweloveyou]

OMG OldGit, this has to be one of the funniest replies I have ever read

 

[Wasrandyra]

No, but my ex was deeply jealous of me going on here - he thought I was on here talking to men.

He called me sad for talking to my 'pretend friends' eeerrrr nice chap NOT

Hense the 'ex' bit

 

[Keltic]

Nah... my oh goes to work on Mon and comes back Fri!! But he does not mind anyway it keeps me quiet when he is watching footie!

 

[OldGit]

As we speak Hazel is sorting entries for our bobs, whilst I catch up on the gossip!!!!

i slagged off my oh no end for going on the level 42 forum (i know i know terrible band and he is only 24 missed them when they were famous but for some reason likes them now??) so he found this 4 me

and keeps asking how i am getting on on here

 

[Lippyx]

My OH just asks when ever I am on the laptop, if I am "horseying it"!
I did ask him the other day if he minded me going on here, but he said no of course not..... hey I class it as "networking"!!

 

[legaldancer]

How on earth can you have a forum on Level 42?! Is there really that much to discuss on a daily basis? Sadly, I remember them from the eighties, so it must be full of forty-somethings!

My OH does think it amazing that HHO can entertain me for hours, but it gives me something to do when he's watching sport on the telly.

tbh, I'd be annoyed if someone was sitting on the laptop tapping etc. whilst watching tv.
And i't s a bit worrying if you can't leave the computer in the kitchen, I'm only on here a lot during term time as at uni I get bored, at home I have so many other interesting things to do!

 

[Vickijay]

My BF joined HHO so he could ask me to talk to him instead!!

It's annoying having the tv on when I'm tap-tapping

 

[Quadro]

i think the level 42 lot just discuss general things and yes i think they are mainly in there 40's and generally a fun happening bunch

but it keeps him quiet so cant complain

 

[Garfield1537]

Yes partner of 6 years walked out on pan cake day and claims I loved the horses and my friends more than him - he moaned I spent too much time on HHO!! Was gutted at the time but loving the single life now he has gone he he x

 

[samstar]

oh good I have hope of a better life then

 

[Kirsty5150]

my hubby walked out on me two weeks ago so expect my post tally to rise fairly substantially!! My life's changing for the better already!

 

[punk]

OH gone already . However KIDS give me big hard time about it!!!!!!!!

That's from brats who watch TV while on Facebook AND MSN simultaneously!!!!!!!!!!

I say it is my REVENGE for Facebook!! I'm a technophobe and they won't help me get on it in case I invite them to be 'friends'.!!!!!!!!!!

 

[punk]

So sorry to hear that

. It's not a good time whoever does the deed. However, take comfort in HHO - I know my posting has increased dramatically in the last few months!! Only used to browse - now have the confidence to SAY something (not that anyone listens to it!!!!!!!!!

)

Edited to ad - If you are feeling low,go to Mrs Mozart (aka the Wise Witch) for chocolate and comfort.

She needs some herself, as she is feeling a bit poorly ATM!

 

[Kirsty5150]

Thanks for that! I knew enough was enough when he started not to complain about me being with or talking about horses all the time! He just no longer cared! Now I intend to get myself another Ned and start enjoying life again! Which includes much more time on HHO!
