  • Become a regular on Answerbag too and then you two would have more to talk about! Or, parade around the computer in a sexy outfit holding an encyclopedia? Or you could try the old standby - a nice heavy rolling pin. My cat tries to get me away from the computer by digging in the bathroom trash can, but somehow, I don't think the effect would be quite the same if you were to do that to your husband. I actually looked this up and found online help for internet addiction (isn't that like holding an AA meeting in a bar?). Below is a link to a test to see if you or your loved one is addicted to the internet: http://www.stresscure.com/hrn/addiction.html
  • Read the site with him get involved with the site and compare answer's together make a game of it.
  • Simply put, communicate with him. While simply saying, "Honey, you spend too much time on that Answerbag site..." may not solve the problem, you can still communicate your problem(s) with him while mentioning the site. Research has shown that most people key in on a phrase after the word "but." For example, if I said to you, "I love your dress but your hair looked better yesterday," you would only respond to the last part of my statement. Conversely, you could say "I prefer your curly hair style you wore yesterday, but that dress makes you look like a model!" This would make someone feel good while still telling them how you really feel. So, you may want to try this with your husband. Say something like, "I really miss spending alone time with you, but it sounds like you have a lot of fun on Answerbag.com. I'd love to learn how to use that site." This will show him that you are interested in one of his hobbies, and that you are still interested in him as a person. He may feel as though you have been ignoring him for some reason. Break the ice by asking him how the site works, and why he feels it is worthwhile. This would serve both of you well- you would be spending time with him, and he would give you attention while doing something he enjoys! Good luck.
  • Take a hammer to the computer!
  • Put your foot down! Tell him that he needs to go out for a while. After he agrees with you, take him out to dinner, or on a walk and tell him how much you love him. Also make it perfictly clear to him that he is on it too long and needs to visit you too. You need someone to visit you just as much as the site!
  • Ask good questions have some good answers. Read a good book. Be gentle and give attention and you get that in return. To every action there is a reaction. good luck
  • It is possible that your partner spends time on Answerbag because it is nice to feel that he is making a difference. That his words have value. Try to get some conversation going which will spark his interest and encourage him to talk.
  • An addiction is an addiction. answerbag is addicting. my wife has relayed this same information to me. when its time to go, my wife knows exactly where the OFF BUTTON, is located. and, she uses it!
  • If it sounds like the communication is going through answerbag, get online and start asking/answering questions. It's sounds like a hobby that he likes at the moment. The both of you can work together, or you can use this as a tool to talk to each other. Find out if you are able, to what kind of questions he is asking, or questions he is answering. If there is something on his mind, if work is really tough at the moment, people sometimes find it easier to talk to a complete stranger, then their soul mate. Hope this has been of help to both of you.
  • Get a divorce. Tell him it's either answerbag or you! (JUST KIDDING). The real answer: Find things that you both enjoy doing. For instance, if you enjoy movies, then go out to a movie. If you both enjoy, playing golf, then go golfing with friends. Basically, engage in activities that you both enjoy and before you know it, he'll be saying, "Answerbag?! What's that?!" Good luck!
  • I dont know girl, I am having the same problem. except for mine is a pogo freak. Ive even tried to sit in his lap naked and covered in oil. that didnt work pogo still had his undivided attention. so if you find out , please let me know.
  • Make sure he sees your (this) question and see what his answer is!
  • Who is your husband? Since he does spend so much time on Answerbag, is he one of the experts? LOL. Well, I would come into the room wearing a hot Victoria's Secret lingerie/garter/high stilettos thing and sit on his lap....basically, drive him away from the computer/answerbag and give him the incentive to try to stay away as often as he can from the computer to make love to you. :)It's all about Opportunity Cost - make it very very high to be on the computer/answerbag. :)
  • ACCIDENTLY *LOSE* THE COMPUTER... LOL oR MORE SERIOUS MATTERS Ask him to go on a vacation with you. Say that u miss hangin out wit him. Or even betterask him where he wasnts to go let him choose. so he'll be more happy why u guys are there. Such as a football game then go to a hotel or sumthin... But chick u got to do sumthin bout this!
  • not good. have you tried seducing hm?
  • Why don't you go spend time with him yourself?
  • Talk to him directly about this!
  • Show interest on him. and make him feel secure and ask him about what he want from you. Tell me how you love him and what you think of him. Express of true love and making him understand what you think about him and how you are proud of having him and such words will eventually win his heart.
  • I have the same problem. I've tried all the suggestions with no success. He's totally addicted to computer. He plays WOW and 2142. I'm tired of competing.
  • Make plans to go outside and have fun.
  • Get off AB before you start spending more time on the computer too!
  • It seems there's more adventure and frontier for exploration on the computer...time to get adventurous! I'll bet you're getting more conservative as the years pass...
  • Just thought of this: When he's on the computer, go to the circuit breaker and shut it all off, when he's wondering what just happened, you just say someone must have hit the power line or a transformer must have blew, then grab some candles an then he'll HAVE to spend some time with you. So good luck and hope it goes well.
  • Whisper or blow in his ear!!
  • 1. Why don't you play those games with him (at least WoW)? 2. If it's conducive to your home environment, be naked more often. Another thing to keep in mind: The computer has an immediacy to the 'relationship' people have with them. If you've made a habit of playing hard to get (and yes, married women tend to start doing that very shortly after ink is on the marriage license), then you've set your self up for this circumstance. You're going to have to pursue him for a change. Interestingly enough, and this will probably get me some minuses from the women, but, women really aren't able to handle "role reversal" all that well. We men are kind of used to being semi-ignored by our women, when the shoe gets placed on that other foot, by golly the girls really don't like it and do not seem to handle it all that gracefully.
  • Unplug your computer and both of you hit the sheets.
  • Jump his bones.
  • IS the computer in like the living room? OR in a secluded room, like a bedroom? When my husband and I were first married, the computer was in its own room, which at first made sense, but, then, like you I noticed I never saw until he ate or went to bed. So I made him move it out into the main living room, with the TV, etc, where is where I spend almost all my time. Now its ok if he gets engrossed in it, because all I have to do is turn around and throw something at him and ask him to do something for me. He can still get into his computer games or whatever, but he's still close enough to communicate with and "spend time together, just doing different things"
  • Why show him attention? If you want some attention answer these questions. If you have a bath tub, fill it with water as hot as you can stand. Pour heaps of bubble bath into it, soak for about an hour, get out, rub yourself with all the nice perfumes you've got, put on the sexiest, see through nightie, fluff your hair, lean over the bathtub, open the bathroom window, yell at the top of your voice BAZZA and I'll come running.
  • Get yourself a computer and continue your relationship with him on Answerbag.
  • simple yet sleezy way. Get a porn vid, have fun. If he hears it tough. He'll learn thats someones gotta pay attention to you. and if he doesnt you'll help yourself with the aid of some porn. good luck. x
  • Make sure you're not a prude =)
  • Ask him questions. ;)
  • Answer his questions.
