Hide the keyboard and mouse before he gets home every night so he can't do anything on the computer. icon_twisted.gif

my DH is in IT and does some of his work at night. We have 4 computers in the house right now. I think he must have blocked CC on the server because none of the computers will access it. UGGG! IF only I knew more about computers.

He may have blocked it through your firewall. Go to the firewall software and look at the blocked sites. You'll have to go into the advanced settings to see. If he indeed blocked it through the firewall you can delete the block and it should go back to normal. If he's blocked it in the server then I'm not sure how to fix that one. Maybe someone who knows more about it can help. HTH

Couple of things:

1) What is the eror that comes up when you try to get on the website?
2) It may have been done at the router, you should get a message like "file not found" or something like that if that's the case.

Like sweeteness said, it can also be blocked thru the firewall.

We'll help you figure it out, He'll learn not to mess with you!!! thumbs_up.gif

Sorry, I was going to try to help you by asking my husband since he's computer savvy but he just laughed and said he wouldn't tell me because he may want to do the same thing sometime.

Ask your husband if he knows how to cook, clean his own clothes, enjoy his newspaper in one piece, have a need to use the remote control, because I would not give in to doing anything for him until he restored your computer privileges. I would without hesitation go on strike. When did he become the parent and you the child? That to me is a big control button. Is he jealous of your new friends? I work with a very knowledgeable computer guy that I could ask some questions for you, but I would need to know more about what type of system you have. Then maybe you could figure out how to block him. LOL

Maybe you can tease him and tell him that since you can't chat wih your friends at CC anymore you may have to start chatting with new friends on "other websites", if you know what I mean. icon_rolleyes.gif Wonder what he'll say then.

Um...NO. BLOCKED your site?! I thinkI'd call and cancel the internet connection...and his cell.

Then I'd cancel...what? What else could I cancel? I would cancel DTV if we had it.

The remotes would be in the fish tank...

Wires on his Sirius radio would be gone (he commutes 2 hours each way, so that's a big deal)

What else?

I think you guys need to have a serious talk. He has no right to treat you like a child. He obviously doesn't care that he's treating you like dirt. IMO something needs to change. If you do anything for him like laundry, cooking, cleaning, etc... It needs to stop. Let him know that until he treats you like an equal then you are on strike. This would not fly at my house. My DH would do it as a joke, but would never do it just to be mean. He knows better. He knows that he never would have a home cooked meal again let alone any clean clothes. Seriously you guys need to have a talk and work this out. Good luck.

I agree with everyone else that you go on strike and somehow hide/take away the stuff that he likes.. a connector cord for cable, wires from his sirius. I'd also tell him that if he was going to treat me like a child he could sleep in a seperate bed, and make his own food (or better yet, make you food, clean the house and dishes.. OH what about allowance? LOL) What a jerkish thing to do, grr.

Oh I so agree with everyone else, I hope you get back on CC soon. I would definately hide some things from him. underwear would be the first to go. while he was sleeping I would remove his house key and battery from the garage door opener and when he is on his way home from work. I would go out with a girlfriend. and leave my cell phone in the car icon_mad.gif

then I'd do what everyone else said. cable, tv remote..... icon_evil.gif

I am so glad my DH is computer clueless. Although gut reaction tells me to do what everyone else on here says to do maybe communication would work better. Sorry guys, I agree with you but I know if my DH got into that big of a fight we would be pushing on the doors of Divorce City!

LOL thats funny

I am sorry he did that. My dh wouldn't do that because he spends plenty of time on his PLUS he knows that if we aren't getting along doing something mean isn't going to make it any better. I hope you guys work it out!

HI everyone! I can still only get on through email---and haven't told him he was succesful in blocking CC! I hate to see that smug face. Tonight once the kids are in bed we are having one SERIOUS talk. Jon normally treats me as an equal and his best friend but the last few weeks he has been treating me more as a child. icon_evil.gif (I am NOT one to put up with this but rather shove a boot up his tapedshut.gif --but since he has been really stressed lately I've just been blowing it off---well no more! HE HAS CROSSED THE LINE BLOCKING CC!) He blocked it because he said the house wasn't cleaned enough to his standards. I laughed at him because our house is 2,700 sq. ft. with 2 adults and 4 kids in it. Our kids are small and he has his family over a lot! I am the only one who cleans our house, does the dishes and laundry. ( I wash dishes at least 5x a day and do on average 3-5 loads of laundry a day.) I am the only one who puts laundry away too. He doesn't even know which dresser goes to which kid. I also take out the trash and recycling almost every week. His friends and family tell him that they would marry me in a heart beat and he tells them that he would never give me up because I treat him so good. WELL!!!! Time to get on my old combat boots and get to beatin the crap out of him! icon_lol.gif
He actually told me I have to drop out of culinary school so I can run errands, cook and clean more. I laughed right in his face and said "I know you work 60 hours or more a week but you can get off your hind end and clean. I'm not your maid and never will be so get off your high horse Nasty." THAT'S WHEN HE BLOCKED CC!
When I try to get on to CC a box pops up saying "Content adviser will not allow you to see this web site" "This page is blocked by your approved sites list" I have a Dell Latitude lap top.
He normally doesn't treat me like this, so I guess it's time to put him in check!

Maybe you could stop doing everything you do & make him realize what he has!!!

Good Luck!!

I hope everything turns out o.k. and that your talk turns out to be successful instead of a yelling match that dosen't really solve anything which is how me and DH's usually turn out. Good thing we hardly ever fight, huh?

I'm very glad to see that you intend to stand up for yourself! What your DH did is very passive aggressive. It's pure control. I'm sure he loves you and has many wonderful qualities, but he is trying to control you. His setting unrealistic standards on the house is the same thing. By dealing with it, you'll both be happier. Marriage just can't be successful that way.

I'm do speak from experience here. My first husband acted like that. I made so many excuses for him. It was easier to pacify him than upset him. The more I did, the worse it was. I convinced myself it was okay for him to treat me like a child. But, after almost 20 years of it, I felt myself disappearing. I felt like nothing. All I could look forward to was feeling like I wasn't worth a thing. I had an "epiphany" moment when I woke up from having a hysterectomy alone. He'd gone to work that day, because he said I'd be asleep anyway.

Anyway, you are a very valuable person! You take care of your family, your home and make beautiful cakes! No one should treat you like you need to be "handled" or "punished for bad behavior", especially the man who's supposed to love you! Talk! Work it out!

mkolmar, I am suppose to be seeing the computer teacher that I mentioned earlier, tomorrow and I will ask his advise. I have a feeling that unless you know his password, he has made himself the administrator and is in control of the computer. Do you have any clue what his password could be? I am hoping that the computer teacher does not side with your hubby, so I will not give him all of the details. I am sure there must be a backdoor into the computer. I have a Mac, so I am not that familiar with Dell, but will try to find out. I hope someone else has computer experience and can come to your aid if I cann't. You mentioned he has been under a lot of stress. Is it from his work? Since he can not control the situation at work, he is controlling you. Whenever my husband mentions that the house needs a once over, I tell him that it stays tidy when he goes out of town, so the problem must be him being a pig. If he objects, I just tell him to go look in his car. I win that argument hands down everytime. His car is a trash can. My husband is a natural born slob, a lovable slob, but a slob no less. My car is usually spotless.

You know I have this saying that I tell my Dh when he gets his panties in a bunch about the house and or dinner. I tell him that "it is not my job to clean the house, do the laundry, or cook you dinner. I do it because I want to. I am your wife not your maid." After that he backs off. I am not the cleanest person in the world, but I am far from the dirtiest. Not to mention we live in a 1200 sq ft house with 3 kids. Now that's small. I'm forever cleaning. Oh and by the way it sounds like he's blocked you from the server. Not sure how to unblock it but I do know that you can go in the back way to get here. Instead of going to cakecentral.com go to www.forum.cakecentral.com. I learned that from my last job that blocked yahoo. I couldn't check my email unless I typed in www.my.yahoo.com. It's not the direct way but it still gets you here. Good luck with your talk.

my DH is completly clueless and i'm the administrator on our home computer so thank god there is no chance of him blocking me but often times he says he will throw out the whole computer or the tv if he thinks i havent done enoungh in a day I tell him to go ahead because the minute he thinks he can control me in that way he wont have a wife to control I like to threaten that if he thinks i dont do anything i will really not do anything and maybe that will show him what I do but all that would do is make a build up of work for me. funny story my parents have been married for 30 years and my dad complained to my mom one day about how his clothes were washed I swear to you she has not so much as washed a sock for him in 15 years I love it we should all go on strike see how much our DH could get done.

It sounds like he blocked it through the firewall. I couldnt get on to CC until I changed the setting on this computer. However I am no expert on computers. I suggest going to a computer store or calling up the help line for the internet provider. They should be able to talk you through it. I will keep my fingers crossed for you.

However what your husband did was down right nasty and controling. Good luck with talking to him about it. No one deserves to be treated like a child unless they are one!!!!!

Well he unblocked it last night and I can now get on CC. However he said as soon as I step out of line and the house isn't clean he's blocking it again. So we then got in an argument and he told me I'm lazy and worthless and the only reason he doesn't blow his brains out is for the children. Needless to say my kids are staying a night at my mom and dad's tonight so we can actually talk/yell at each other and figure out where we both stand. I'm looking for apartments right now just in case and figuring out how much things will cost for a mom of 4. I hope we work things out, but I refuse to get treated like his doormat. I'm not cooking or cleaning up his mess or doing his laundry anymore either. Today the stuff of his that was already washed, didn't get folded but thrown in a pile on the floor, I told him that's how his floor closet looks so I'll just save myself the trouble of folding his crap. Anymore clothes of his are up to him to take care of. His own mother tells me I can do better, but she knows he loves me so please don't leave or he'll loose his mind. All of his clients tell me how much he brags on me and the kids all the time, guess it would be nice to hear it from his mouth once in a while
instead. We will be married for 10 years this june.
