I have double standards. My answer is: he’d better not even Consider it! How about you? How would you like it if your partner hung out hours a day talking to other ppl? I don’t think I’m insecure. I just have my own Ideas of how a partner of Mine should spend his time!
And it should not be talking to others on his computer unless it’s a brief statement between bridge hands. Not that I’d mention it. It’s cool- so far.

He can be on every day,all day as long as it’s not on “Pants-Free Friday”.
Sometimes she is . We fluther together although I tend to answer more. We are not here all that often but, when we are, we are usually together.
She does her thing with her time I do mine…no need to sweat the details.
She had better not be if she knows what’s good for her.
My significant other used to have his own forum that I did not invade and in return he did not invade my forum. However, as we’ve grown as a couple, he’s joined Fluther and is a regular contributer here. Now that I’m off doing a summer internship I think he’s here more often than I am (embarrassing!).
So no. Except that I might be a wee bit jealous that he has time to be here more often than I do.
I would not object just as she does not object to my fluthering.
@Dr_Lawrence But would you like her reading your responses and questions? It’s almost like opening your s/o’s mail , I think.
Depends. If it were on a Saturday or Sunday, the only time we really have to spend time together, and he was here for “hours and hours” instead, yes, it would bother me. Which is why you won’t see me on here after 5:00 (unless Rick isn’t here, like now) or on the weekends, except for an occasional bust in. But he can look around all he wants. When you click on the Fluther icon, it comes up with me. I don’t log in and log out. Further, he knows my passwords.
To the comment, @Aster “But would you like her reading your responses and questions?” I wouldn’t ever post anything I wouldn’t want him, or anyone else, to read.
He better not be on Fluther all day. This is my internet territory. He can find any other site on the Interwebs to whittle away his time, but Fluther is mine. ^_^
As long as it didn’t interfere with his other work, I wouldn’t care. He has zero interest in this kind of participation on the internet.
I wouldn’t care if my husband was on here. He can enjoy his time just as I can enjoy mine. I don’t post anything I wouldn’t want him to read, so I have no concerns about him reading what I write.
@Aster Also, I totally disagree that it’s like “opening your mail.” It’s more comparable to you leaving your mail out on the table, open for the world to see.
There is nothing I say or ask here I would want to conceal from my wife. She seems to recognize that fluthering is a major interest (compulsion) for me and she shows no interest in seeing what I do here. She has full access to my e-mails but never bothers to open them. I have access to hers as well. I never open her mail either. We have that kind of mutual trust and respect.
