How can I wean my boyfriend off of the computer?  He's on it ALL the time... And he knows it's a problem, but

well, you could try bribery - a "no computer until after sex" thing might just work. Be fun to try even if it doesn't. \n\nor you could move the computer to the living room in front of the window, remove the drapes and insist he only use the computer there while he is completely naked.\n\nOr as one couple - did start having cyber sex with him every time he signs on and see how long it takes for him to log out and come for the real thing.\n\nor throw it out on the street and jump up and down on it. Your choice on which it though - could be either the computer or him - hehe.\n\ndisconnect the internet and the phone line and the tv and get him to read good books to you while soft music plays ont he stereo\n\ndrag him by the hair out to the movies, the local dance venues and anywhere else you two can go have fun together without him being near a computer.\n\nand if all else fails tell him if he doesn't get off the computer you will go marry a Mac.

How about get a job or something productive! Thats all i have in mind, and you should too! Or even a life will help too! LOL! How about try cleaning, walking, or socializing with people in person! And find better things to do than your computer!

You know, that is sooo annoying. You know who else does that, is my computer. When I click on "turn computer off" a prompt comes up that says "turn computer off?", and every single time I think to myself, "no, I want you on, I just clicked "off" to yank your chain!"  My computer reminds me of my son when he was 3!

Get out of the house and experience life; it is more healthy.  We all spend too too much time on the computer, including me.

I'm in same boat with my hubby i'm lucky i'm on computer now to answer this the way he hogs the computer.   Give him errans to run and if you want to spend time with him find things you know he'll want to do like go to a guy flick.  I finally got hubby off to go see saw 111.  Try creative things he may be feeling bored and games are is only outlet.  I try and play games with him i hate it but at least we;re together.  Also be open about how you feel i did and he cut his game playing in half lol i'm working on the other half now lol

Yea you could probably call me an addict. I tend to get very irritated if someone else tries to get me off the computer or get it before me. I spend probably 6 hours each day during the week (from 4:00 p.m. right when I get home to 10 or 11 p.m. before I go to bed. I take occasional breaks to go visit with my family and stuff. I feel bad for always being at the computer.) and 10-17 hours each day during the weekend depending on when I get up. I know it's way too much but I live out in the middle of nowhere and the only thing to do is get on the computer.

No, help yourself.  Get away from the computer, right now!  Go ahead and do your chores.  Don't make me repeat this again!  You'll be in real trouble if I see you here again.

Be carefull who he hangs around with.  Watch his internet activity.  If you have to, take off his bedroom door.  It's yours, not his.  Watch for a lot of late night activity.  Smell his breath often and keep on him about grades and homework.  Raising kids is the hardest job you'll ever have.

Stop using your computer. When you get home, study or do something else to get your mind off of it.

My guy did that. I caught him flirting online and literally blew up on him. He got rid of the computer for about a month. Then when it did come back, any type of Instant Messenger was banned from our computer (it still is!). He promised to never erase the history file and I could "check up" on him whenever I wanted to. And he didn't go to any sites that would be considered questionable. It took time, but I was able to put it behind us. His willingness to be an open book helped me to trust him again. It was never an issue again, and that was many many years ago.

Well, here you are again. Are you okay? Do you need medication? Take it easy...I would get away from your computer and take a long walk outside.
