Strawberry Letter: Is Technology Going To Ruin Us?

Subject: Is Technology Going To Ruin Us?

Dear Steve & Shirley,

My fiance and I have been together for almost two years now and mostly everything is great but we have this one issue. The issue is that at least two or three times a week he will get out of bed after I’ve fall asleep and go sit in the bathroom for hours. While in there with the door closed, he says he is watching movies and playing video poker and smoking cigarettes. My issue is that it just seems odd that he needs to do that. I’ve questioned him often and we get in arguments about it. His reasoning for doing it is because he says he can’t sleep and doesn’t want to wake me up. I’ve told him that it bothers me and he says it’s because I have control issues and that I just want to control him. In my opinion the technology with all the social media and chat stuff can really affect a relationship and I’m worried he may be doing something he has no business doing.I told him any person man or woman would have an issue if their significant other did that. He always comes up with some irrelevant b/s type stuff when we argue about it and try to talk about irrelevant b/s type stuff . I have never cheated nor has he to my knowledge so no infidelity has not taken place . MY question is, am I over reacting when I get upset about him doing this?
