When my husband gets home from work he goes right to his computer and I would like him to spend a little time with me but he says I am being selfish.

Am I being Selfish?

No, you're not selfish, you're just not thinking outside the box.

So it's the Computer vs. You. What's it got that you haven't?

Do you bother to make an effort to look good?

Are you paying attention to what you wear?

Bother about make-up?

Personal hygiene?

Ask him about his day?

Talk about topics of interest and excitement rather than what a dull day you've had?

Don't be boring - be scintillating!!! Any red-blooded male worthy of the name would far sooner communicate with a real, feminine female than a box of bloody electronics!

Gothic Wolf agony auntNo you are not selfish every women wants to spend time with her hubby...its like with the others if you can talk about or join in the go ahead and if not try a romantic dinner for just the two of you....try to get him to eat dinner with you, it would be a great chance to be alone with him and talk about his day or what ever you want to talk about with him

daniellexxxx agony auntNo your not being selfish ok let him go on the computer but after you have a little time together. When he gets home one night just ask him nicely can you spend a bit more time with me instead of being on the computer straight away as you open the door, i'm sure he probably cant see what hes doing wrong as most men cant but if you tell him he will see how much hes on it and how little time he spends with you.

Good luck.

No you aren't, nobody likes being ignored. Maybe you could arrange something that would tempt him away, like an evening out or a candlelit dinner at home?

peaches83 agony auntThe question is what does he do on the pc???

My hubby was the same. Always playing world of warcraft. So i got my own account and that way we interact.

If its something that you can join in or maybe disscuss then give it a go. If not then just take the plug of the lead or something along them lines.

starfairy agony auntNo, every one wants to be fussed and given attention, especially if you haven't seen someone all day!

It sounds like you are feeling a little starved on the affection and attention start.

You could do the gentle approach and tell him how you feel.

Or you could do the drastic approach and hide the power cables to the computer lol.
