And as long as it isn't excessive then its good and still counts as quality time together. I cant stand Cityville etc etc but she enjoys it and that doesn't get in the way of us being together.

I know that I am going to get bombarded with derision but we find the ipad quite handy under the circumstances. We have an ipad and a laptop so that being together on the sofa playing games simultaneously does indeed work quite well. It's not as if we are sitting side by side with two desktops between us, or worse than that, in seperate rooms. And we can still dip in and out of any tv program that we might want to
I can play games but after 30 minutes I immediately got bored of it...and I can't sit next to him when he's playing it because I am annoyed by the sound of the game and he talking like a kid. So everytime he have this odd Wednesday of playing, we are in separate rooms for hours...he will be at downstairs and i am upstairs trying to entertain myself or distract myself byturning the volume of the tele to the maximum. He would come to bed with me and is ready to sleep.

What do you think? Will I consider it? I'm gonna talk to him about that but first I need your suggestions/advices/reaction to that situation.

Aside from that, he has his evening kungfu class every Monday and Thursday. He would left home at around 8pm and would come home 10:30...I approved that because it is a good physical activity to him although our quality of time being together is affected with that...

So if anyone could tell me how to act accordingly to this...please do so. Thank you. :-)
