I was just thinking that had I been living with someone, I am not so sure I would have been able to carry on so much online talk in his presence. I guess it depends on how much room partners leave for one another. Possibly I would have felt uneasy about spending so much time talking on the computer and not, say, cooking or doing something else productive. So in a way I am glad that right now I live alone and am not accountable to anyone for how I choose to spend my time.
