How do I get my husband to get off the computer?

Ok, I've tried it all...and he still won't come to bed at night. He comes home form work and practially RUNS to the computer, and stays there until the wee hours. Then he has trouble getting to work on time. I've tried making my own life, and he's handicapped me every way he can. No matter what, I'm the bad guy. I promised to stick with him, but he isn't giving me anything to build a relationship with. I'm so lonely, I feel like I'm dead inside. Help!

Your husband has an addiction, like all addicts they deny it and will twist and turn every emotion to get to their addiction, he needs help and you have to be real tough with him. He will thank you in the end. Go see a councillor on your own and discuss this. They will point you towards the best way forward.

Reverse the situation-don't be home when he gets home-go off and do all the fun things that you like to do with your girlfriends and make your own life without him-be too busy to spend time with HIM-stop making him the center of your universe and see if this changes his behavior! Good luck-the worse that can happen is that you have some fun without him!

Put your computer password protected.

Make him a better offer. Or leave him there.

Give him some Monica Lewinsky while he's at the computer and if that doesn't get him off then, I don't think nothing will work. Also try honesty, my husband was working alot once and I told him I am getting lonely and I must admit I have contemplated infidelity. Lets just say I didn't have to say anything else. He knew he better take care of business or someone else would and he did. Sometimes men need to hear whats really up.

cancel your ISP. This is a sort of addiction. There is even treatment for it. The brain even acts differently when people use the internet, and some can end up addicted. Sounds like he is. You sound pretty reasonable...he can't give every free moment to the computer...you might as well be single if that's the case. Maybe you'll have to put it in so many words. Sorry you are experiencing this. Sounds lonely and frustrating. Maybe it's time to realize that you only get so many years to have a life...you can't really afford to waste them on someone who isnt interested in you.

that sounds like i used to be well the best thing would be to pack your bags and go to your moms or a friend for a day or two before you do tell him things had to change.Or else you will leave. or just open the puter up and take the ram out. and will not work.

my husband sometimes does the same thing
so i rip the cord right out of the wall i kid you not may not be the best advise but you have to do what you have to do

Find something else to do with your time and eventually he will notice that you are not around as well

Sorry your going though this sweetie. Tell him its you or the computer he needs to decide. If he chooses the computer you know what to do girl. Separate till he gets his act together. Just a idea. I wish you the best. *hugs*

find a screwdriver and take the case apart, now "carefully" remove everything you can and hide the pieces all over the house,

So why do you stay? Yes marriage is supposed to be forever, but what is the sense of staying in a one way relationship. Marriage is also supposed to be about sharing, caring, giving and taking EQUALLY. You don't have a marriage any longer. You could do the same things only when and with whom you wish if you were single. Probably have more fun and who knows, find another man who will treat you the way a good woman should be treated.
If you have tried talking, coersion, threats, and bribes and nothing works, it's time to have him come home from work, run to the computer and do it in an empty house, because you will have packed your bags and left before he got there. Perhaps when he gets tired in the wee small hours of the morning and crawls into bed he might realize then that you are not there.

Find out what he's doing on the computer. Is he playing games or PLAYING?? Does he cover up his trail? Maybe he has a coochie momma that he's chatting with. Show up naked & see what happens. If nothing happens then call the morgue because he is dead. Open some dialog & try to get at the reason why he's on it so long. GOOD LUCK----------------

Hold the computer hostage until he can grow up

Tell your husband that he can divorce you and marry the computer. Can the computer cook and clean? Can the computer wash his socks? Also, add that divorce is ALOT more expensive than a computer upgrade.

If it's his computer, then you get your own. if it's your computer, password protect it. i do like some of the other suggestions. try to reverse the roll a bit and turn it around on him and see how he likes it.
