Is there room in the modern boudoir for two lovers and a laptop? For some, the answer is an unequivocal no, but for others, well… wait a minute please.
Some may say that the social phenomenon of doing e-mail in bed is really the new form of alienation of affection among couples. In the case of the computer in the bedroom, three really can be a crowd not to mention a crime against the flow of romance, which is so important in a relationship.
Let’s face it. The bed should be for crumbs, sleeping, reading and sex, but not necessarily in that order. For those who argue that couples watch television in bed, the point is that they share a common screen. When we do our e-mails, they are private things that exclude anyone else who might be lying on the bed hoping for some crumbs of any sort. Do you really think, by any stretch of the imagination, that working on a computer in the bedroom is conducive to any extraneous activity? If you do, you need to think again.
This new social phenomenon really needs to be re-evaluated and has a negative effect on quality couple time. Perhaps the answer lies in doing e-mail together on the bed? Not a chance. This would only compound the problem, as two people doing their e-mail in bed makes an office. You might as well go out and buy a cubicle to sleep in. You can always add a pillow to make yourself feel more at home and in bed.
Seriously, folks, stop doing your e-mail in bed. There’s always time for it, but in busy households there is a very delicate line between work and romance. Don’t smudge the line. We, like the late Johnny Cash, all need to walk it once in a while.
Happy laptop, but somewhere else!
