Dating S.O.S

By Emily F.

My name is Emily, and I am a newly-wed. In the year preceding the wedding I was so busy planning the one day on which Murphy’s law was let loose, that I had absolutely zero plans or expectations for any days after the honeymoon.

So, here i am now. Married to a man who is fantastic, but also a chronic workaholic. He has a regular day job, and in the evenings he blogs (who doesn’t). He is quite obsessed though with taking his blogs to the next level, and making serious money with them, that he loses all track of time. He is focused only on this task, and I am starting to think I never got married at all. I used to see him more when we were dating, and before we actually started living in the same house.

I’m no stranger to technology, and I’ve started observing hubby-dear. I’ve made a point of dragging another desk into his office, so I can spend a few hours a day co-blogging with him (and spend some silent time together, otherwise I’d never see him). I also noticed he spends far too much time on the technical side of his websites, and the trouble he is getting from the hosting company. Tonight, I’m going to suggest dedicated hosting as a possible solution. If he would only start using some of the money he is making to outsource the things he has most trouble with, then at least he could focus on the things he is good at.

With a bit of luck, it leaves some time for the relationship. We’ll see.. he is a man, so by definition he is (he thinks) always right.
