Scenario 1: Other half hates computers
Always get grief for spending time on computer instead of holding her hand, talking, etc. This includes ridicule in front of her mates when we go out even though my career in IT has (so far, touch wood) supported her and the kids quite nicely (she doesn't work by the way - apart from being Co. Sec.).
Scenario 2: Other half (reluctantly) thinks computers might just be useful.
Still get copious grief about the amount of time and money spent on computers.
Scenario 3: Other half accepts computers and uses them regularly.
Still get a little grief about excessive use but now have much higher budget of time and money without having to buy her a new diamond ring each time I buy a new PC!
Get the picture?
