Oh...just wait...pretty soon you'll be addicted and then obsessed...like the rest of us.

You'll find yourself up til all hours of the night...and coming on while you're at work too.

It's insane...but sooooooooooo much fun!!! The girls on these boards can help you with anything!!! They're so great!

Tell him to get used to it and find something to occupy his time while you're in the planning stages of this wedding.

Re: How do you all find.........

don't forget about him...but maybe ask him for 1 hour a night to look at the boards...where he can not bother or pressure you to get off...

you'll train him eventually

LOL DH is actually so happy I found LIWeddings.. it took so much stress off us both since we are paying and planning the wedding ourselves.. its a great place to bouce ideas off and learn from.

Once Jim learned I saved money and time by taking some advise I found here.. he was hooked.

Re: How do you all find.........

I find it completely addicting, so I make the time. I peak at work, before work, when I come home from work... my justificiation is that it is SO valuable and unless he wants to do all the research, BEAT IT! (love him!)

Re: How do you all find.........

I am lucky... my FH plays his X-Box and I get to use the computer for hours at a time. It does become a fixation. All I ever talk about is how someone on the site said this or that, and what stores or whatever everyone recommends. I wish I had internet at work, but then I'd probably never get any work done. I could just picture myself telling my patients to wait 2 more minutes while I finish typing a post. LOL.

That reason is not flying for me anymore

DH wonders what goes on in here but I think he's too afraid to ask

Very stealth-like.....

Actually I am usually at school when I am on here lately. I get a really long break 3 times a week.

Re: How do you all find.........

You can tell him that he is more than welcome to do the research and plan the wedding. Tell him to let you know when and where to be at the appointments. You will be surprised how quickly he doesn't mind.

You can also ask him to help- that way you will have less to do, so you won't need to do all the research.

However, I am slightly addicted and don't see myself getting off LIW any time soon ; ) The ladies here are just to great!
