My bf isn't talking on the phone, he's searching, researching, forums, stocks, texting.. ect. He is also an IT tech, and I think he feels a little lost with constant information being fed to him through a screen. I think it's perfectly reasonable to ask for sometime with out the distraction.

I know how it feels to be sucked into the digital world, I work in IT as well. So can understand how one can get lost but
family time it my number one priority to me and when they are around everything else can shrivel and drop. I may have chewed into him about it tonight.. I was expressing the way I felt in kind words but very honest at the same time. It was through an e-mail because I was at work brewing about it. He wrote me back and said "so you don't think I have my priorities straight?" I don't think it was meant to be defensive though. I felt bad, I suck at telling him about things that bother me in a nice way. I have told him many times to get off the computer when he is home alone with our daughter and not paying attention to her [she is five.] But I have to keep telling him, and telling him and telling him. It is either the phone or computer.

I don't think he has any digi-flings on the other end, he just isn't like that.
Thank you for your input though, you are right.. too attached.
