Yes, there are times I've said, "please don't look that up for me. I can look it up myself later." I have no proof of this, but I feel like when he does look something up, he remains on the laptop way too long after he has found whatever it is, and I suspect he is reading his emails under the guise of having just looked something up for me. Or maybe checking facebook or whatever he is into. Maybe just my paranoia, but he does dawdle... Before I became comfortable enough with him to address this laptop issue, I just suffered through all the times he used his laptop and wasted our session time. Then he went on a trip and came back with the tremendous news that he had dropped his laptop and totally broken it! It took him months before he got a new laptop. Those laptopless days were great!
