    That's not surprise!! If you are married First 6 months you go home every time as you can. ;) computer is on the corner and is used to open a family email. Between 6 months and 2 years you go home and you share dinner and a small talk and you sit in the computer. Between 2 years and 4 years plus two kids you go home after work and share dinner or McDonald to go if there was no time to cook, eventually a interesting conversation comes up, and you already are thinking what you will do with the computer after dinner. After 4 years you work late and go home to share dinner and hear the problems of the day, the mood in home is not good to sit many hours with the computer; you just do it 2 or 3 days a week. After 6 years you work late and you "must" go home or else you don't have dinner. If you don’t go for more than 2 day your wife will file a police report. I guess after 10 year if you don't go home for a week your wife will make a party

        My wife and I do both: we play online games together. Spending time with your computer and spouse. :) Good compromise, eh? :)

        I used to do that with C&C read alert and StarCraft the first year I was married. Now games are more complicated and requiere a bigger learning curve, also with kids forget about compromise... :)

            On our wedding night we left the dance about 1am. We went back to our apartment, I sat down in my recliner with my wedding dress still on, and my new husband sat in front of the computer still in his tux. I commented that other than the attire it was the same as any other night.

                      Does that statistic include time at work to? If it does then DUH! If it is strictly speaking of time when you are at home with your family that's a downer.

                              Yeah, I thought of that.  My computer would still win, but I'd imagine that is uncommon.

                                Let's see... if you have a full-time job (8 hrs per day) that involves sitting at the computer the whole time, and you sleep 8 hrs (and those 8 hrs don't count as spouse time), then in order to spend the same amount of time with your spouse, you have to not do anything at all the entire rest of the day that's not with your spouse. And that doesn't even count commute time. Makes a case for working from home, eh? ;)
