Those who are spending hours on Facebook, etc. are communicating, but not with the person who counts most. If your spouse wants to spend large amounts of time on the computer, discuss your feelings about it. Are you feeling neglected and unloved as a result? Perhaps an agreement can be reached to limit the time allocated to the computer.
Here's an idea on how to use the computer in a positive way. My husband and I choose topics to discuss at night. I like to check my computer for the news of the day so that I have something interesting to bring up. It keeps the evening hours lively and interesting...and it keeps us away from the addictiveness of the computer. Yes, it's utilizing the computer, but in a way to stimulate more 'real' conversations. The news sites offer everything from current events in the world to entertainment news. There's something for everyone! Give it a try.
