My wife and I always have disagreements over the use of MySpace and Facebook. She constantly suspects that my female friends on those social networking sites are making advances on me. I try to explain to her that everything is innocent and on the up-and-up, but honeybunch never believes me.
That may have something to do with the fact that my wife and I met via MySpace. She figures if we met and became what we are today, what’s to stop me from resuming my role as a cyberspace lothario?
I assuage her fears by reminding her that of all the women roaming around the internet, she was the only one who stole my heart. She gives me that skeptical expression that I have grown to love anyway. 
I can see how MySpace and Facebook can put a strain on relationships, but if a computer is wreaking havoc in your life, then you’ve got more problems than you originally thought. Trust is the key issue. You have to be able to trust your mate to make the right decisions and know that nobody out there can take what’s yours if it’s truly yours.
Hopefully, both Mr. and Mrs. Addanac will come to the right conclusion. Now I ask you:
Do you feel that there’s any harm in Mr. Addanac meeting his “fabulous” ex-girlfriend for lunch? Is it strictly platonic on both sides? Is Mrs. A merely overreacting to the situation? I’d love to hear what you think. 
What on earth was Mr. Addanac thinking? Lol! Mrs. A does not play! Love the top!
I don't think any lady plays that. It seems like most of my fellas are afraid to comment on this subject.
Have no fear, guys! Speak your mind! B)
P.S. I love you, Babe! <3
I love you, too, Babe! <3
Such a touchy topic that so far only your wife has commented on it, George, and she's routing for Mrs. A.
I just want justice for the pc she killed!
My recent post Drunk Stops
My wife was definitely the inspiration for this comic. I had to slow down on my social-networking activities just to keep the peace in my household. Although, it seems to be perfectly fine if SHE has Facebook and MySpace friends. Are the ladies really that innocent when they're on there?
Of course I am! :*
I can see both sides: a.) If you're truly each other's one and only, then catching up with an ex should not pose a threat, but b.) If nothing is going to come of it, what's the point of catching up with an ex in the first place?
Anyway, maybe if Mr. A turned around and saw the top Mrs. A was wearing, he might forget about Portia and they'd still have a working computer. Mrs. A reacted too quickly.
My recent post A Snowman’s Fate
I agree with you, Dan. I guess my wife's viewpoint is "why put yourself in an opportunity to get tempted?" It's like being a recovering alcoholic and just visiting the liquor store for old time's sake. If you stay away, you won't feel the tug to return.
And Mrs. A is no slouch in the looks department either. Mr. A should have seen that top indeed.
Lucky for Mr. A, only the computer was bashed in!
If Mr. A keeps running his mouth about this, he may have a lot more than his pc to be concerned with.
Maybe Mrs. a should go along to lunch as well (that would be super awkward)!
The next time my PC gets out of line I know who to call!
Mrs. A will probably message that chick on Facebook and warn her off as only a jealous wife knows how.
Nooooo! Not Mrs. A!
There are exes that my wife goes out with every 6 months or so that I have only met casually. Who cares. If you trust them there is nothing to it. Then again…once you go Bear you never go back.
My recent post Oral Sex Banned from School…Dictionaries
I trust my wife. I just don't trust her exes. I know they want the greatest woman in the world. I can't blame them for that. I simply opt to keep them away from her if I can.
Now, Sweetie, I have told you that they are exes for a reason. If I wanted someone else, I would be with them. You DEFINITELY have nothing to worry about and I know that you're aware of that. The exes are not harboring any residual feelings, either. You're so sweet. I only have eyes and a heart for you! <3
Both sides are right on that one actually. Not much you can do about it, except make sure the one you sleep next to is the one you take care of…
You couldn't have said it better. If they keep making an issue of it, the fissure between the couple can become wider.
FB can be trouble!!
My recent post Absolutely Amazing!
Definitely. You have to be careful about how much time you spend there and how involved you get with your virtual friends.
Doesn't look like Mr. A will be doing much of anything online for awhile. :p
Looks like it's back to that fancy new cell phone of his.
Ad space on sanitary napkins? Genius! You'd better copyright that before someone does make millions off of it!
I should, 'cause somebody's gonna get rich off that sooner or later.
Hi George! I'm enjoying the new story line! I think Facebook & MySpace are ultimately, really cool. FB has brought me back in touch with people from as far back as Junior High. Also, a few old boy-friends. I think it's neat to know how people you once had a connection with have done in their lives. My hubby & I have come in contact with past 'loves' and it's been great re-connecting. They all have kids, a past, are usually married, HAVE A PAST, etc. The main thing for us is, my spouse & I tell each other everything. (we usually have a good laugh, too!)
I don't think you're wife should worry at all. Like you said, SHE is the one you picked! If she still feels insecure, I think she should examine her thoughts and feelings as to why she is feeling this way. Usually, when people feel insecure, it has nothing to do with the other person, and everything to do with them.
Love your comic!!! Keep up the good work!!
Thanks so much for stopping by and reading my comics, Tracy! You've made some great points in your discussion. Everyone has a past, but it's the past for a reason. We should all gaze into our spouse's/significant other's eyes and acknowledge that they're the ones we want to be with more than any other. Faith, trust, and honesty is sufficient to battle any insecurities or doubts in a relationship.
Please, come by again and enjoy Addanac City with us.
I actually read this whole article recently on why husbands and wives should not be friends on FaceBook. It made some good points, and if I remember right, issues like this were among them.
Anyway, it's a good thing computers are getting cheaper these days…
It's hard to build a healthy relationship if there's so many distractions. People like attention, and computers are excellent tools for focusing attention. And it's a good thing that Mr. A can run down to Best Buy and scoop up another PC for just a few hundred bucks.
