Well... I recently posted on my bf being a workaholic and wanting him to spend more time together. So having alot of time to myself, I joined this board and have come to like texting and reading on the forums. Im getting used to some of you guys personalities by seeing the same screen names over and over. I cant tell if its me being on here per se or the actual conversing with the users that have him acting funny. He says I act funny when ive been on here. I dont know what that means. If I laugh, he wants to know whats sooo funny. Sometimes if he is sleep besides me, he will wake up out of a dead sleep and stare right at the computer screen. Then he will read what im either typing or reading about. Weirdiest stuff ever....

The other night he asked me to do something for him and I was typing out a response. I was almost finished and he got sooo mad. Hes like nevermind. What are you doing? I showed him I was responding back to one of the users, but I could feel the difference in him. I stopped typing and did what he wanted. I asked him what was wrong and he barked at me "nothing." Now, I was almost there, you know when u wanna throw an attirude, but I kept it calm and said if you dont talk to me I cant fix it. He stayed quiet. I dropped it

I mean.... I found something to occupy my time and that I like to do.

You are talking to other people, unlike in RL he can watch the way you are interacting and knows what you are doing. On the computer he has no idea unless he is reading over your shoulder or you are sharing the stories with him. My bf, always asks what I am doing when I'm on the computer..I always say I'm on my forum. I have never explained what it is or showed him and he has seen the page up but hasn't investigated any further but I know he's just that little bit curious...he's not very good with computers and I haven't enlightened him because I don't think he will be interested anyway.

It's more that you have something that he isn't sharing...your mind is occupied as it needs to be when answering some of these threads. I've felt the same...hang on a minute I have to finish my train of thought before I go about anything else or it gets lost!

I don't think its a cancer thing its a jealous man thing. My scorp do this often ,I like to blog. And read people comments and posts and sometimes he get this look on his face like he hate when something take my attention ,my scorp did the same when I got close with a coworker, with my scorp his just use to me not have a social life so when I come in and out social situation I see his attitude change up. He just a friad to lose me in away. I guess

So what do you guys do? Do you not go on your social networks around them? They might think your sneaking or something...hmmm.

I enjoy being here and reading and the whole interaction thing. He likes his facebook. I dont even pay attention to what hes doing as I trust him. I hate facebook. I dont like everyone knowing of everyone. I might go on there like once a year. I was thinking maybe its the fact that im not asking him what hes doing that hes all over in my stuff. Like...the less you pay attention to them, the more they attention to you kinda thing.

We actually get along pretty well. We have our ups and downs as most do, but as far as compatibility we mesh very well. I work fourty hours a week...thats all I care to do at the moment. If we have a goal to work for, ill work more, but 40 is plenty for me. We both like the closeness of the relationship and I dont think i could ever smother him enough. We got into a discussion tonight but even then hes like why arent you wearing my night clothes... I was like..I wanted to wash them. Hes like....ill wash clothes tomorrow...you can wear them tonight.

I guess im not used to someone being around me whose ever emotionally provided what I needed. I dont wanna change my personality but I do wanna grow the relationship even more. If it becomes a big problem then ill have to make some tough choices about the forum.

I do the same when he's on FB I'm kn this forum. He's asked what I was doin once cus he noticed I was just effin around on my cell n I told him I.was part of a forum n he said.cool n didn't ask more about it.

If he did tho I'd explain and he'd prolly understand since he's really into astrology like I am too.

Anyway... My crabs been showing jealousy a lot lately too...wierd huh
