What should you do? Honestly, establish a limit and stand by it (30 minutes when you come home, whatever).

Look, all of the love for ScubaBoard is great, but I speak with a bit of experience when I say its really not worth obsessing long hours over. So login, chat with your buddies for however long you establish, and move on. Start the physical fitness program you need to lower your SAC Read a diving book. Clean your gear. Go to the quarry. Rent a movie.

Pretty much no online communications forum is worth wasting hours of your day, and I say this as someone who has wasted a lot of hours talking to stimulating people around the world and getting very little done in real life. But when I need to, I put it all away without hesitation, for as long as necessary.

Just a thought in opposition to the majority

Who needs a spouse? If you already have one you do. A comedian once said he imagined leaving his wife. He took a picture of all of his stuff then ripped it in half. Get the picture.
Okay, here's what you do. The next time she bugs you about being on the board for too long just say okay Dear. Then shut down the computer, walk up to her, put your arms around her and start nibbling her ear.
She'll probably say "okay ya putz, go play with your computer". And if she doesn't......, well lets just say you win either way. Remember the best defense is a good offense.

P.S. Good Luck!

Rent a copy of "Legends of the Fall" or a movie with babies in it. Sneak out when there's a scene with somebody crying and/or a baby and then hop on the computer. If she asks what you're doing say that you're researching her xmas gift.

Who needs a spouse these days?

Yay! I second the motion!!ut:

I disagree. A spouse would be nice at this point in my life. Now if I could just work it out to where I only talk to her on the board my relationships might have a better chance of working out.

Been there, done that, got the tshirt. Trust me, it's not worth the hassle. Dive buddies are far more loyal!

Mine don't work out either...not because I don't try, but because other crap just seems to happen . Wait a sec, you are younger than me! I am getting too old to be single...ack..panic....biological clock...ticking...must find wife...

It's all fun and games until they get to know me and then they can't get out the door quick enough.

Hey, try explaining to a date/ potential so that youa re going diving for the 8th weekend in a row, and yes it's with Duane, the Marine Pilot (again), and no, theres nothing going on, we're just pals, and yes you can come but I am not babysitting you you can only watch. See how long that lasts - to date I have run off no less than 10!!
