Internet causing marital friction

Too much time spent on the Internet is causing increasing friction between couples in Ireland, a marriage counselling service said on Friday.

I agree.

My ex and I almost broke up because her life revolved around IRC, internet meets, chats and Facebook.

My girlfriend also views internet/technology as her most fierce competitor

Yip, but TV you tend to do "together". The internet is more secretive and for your own consumption. Not really done as a family.

That's right. My wife does complain when I sit on the computer apart from her and the boy. But when we watch tv together it's our time. And work is something she understands I just have to do to take care of us.
