Re: Me,my husband and GS
Sometimes chatting online can become addicting. You have to ask yourself WHY you keep logging on to GS, is it filling some kind of void? Are you here to speak to someone (or a couple of someones?) Are you here to gain information for something (i.e. religion, Wedding, travel, etc)? And if you are here to gain insight or information, will you visit less frequently once your needs have been attended to? The first step, I believe is to identify what it is that is keeping you logged on, and logged on for so long. Be honest with yourself.
A lot of people come online to talk because they otherwise lack this sort of intimacy in their personal life. Is there is a possibility that, in your real life, you don't have anyone who you can connect with in the way that you connect with people online?
It is possible to be have real and fulfilling relationships with people online, but it cannot substitute for real life relationships. This is a strange phenomenon that is occurring throughout the world, where people are developing ulterior lives behind their computer screens. I am not saying that this is your case, but it is something to consider.
The key here is balance. If you have a happy and balanced real life, you should be able to fit in sometime for the virtual world without problem. Some of us are more successful at it than others, but you've got to be proactive about trying to make it happen.
Also, once you identify what it is that is attracting you to the online world so often, share it with your husband. He probably feels threatened by your virtual relationships.
Good luck!
