My wife chats all the time when she is at home. It annoys me no end. I can't tolerate her chatting!? - Raaj - 10-15-2012 08:17 PM
I love her and give her a lot of freedom. I also use Facebook, manage groups & pages but my activity is transparent (OK 90%). She works and tells me that there also she checks her offline messages all the time. I feel inadequate as if I am unable to complete her emotional needs to discuss issues and matters those she likes to discuss.

talk to her as much as possible and spend time with her because she may feel lonely so she chats with friends

Have you talked to her about your insecurities? Have you tried chatting yourself so that you know how harmless it is?
I was thrilled with the Internet making it possible for people to get to know and exchange ideas with people all over the world without leaving one's living room. I started chatting as soon as the software made chat possible (usenet, telnet, listserv, IRC, and so on), and eventually I was involved with online book clubs, movie review groups, and just plain social conversation along with work-oriented communications. My late husband, who was much less computer savvy than I, had a long talk with me about his feeling left out when I used Internet chat for socializing. Two things then changed: I agreed to spend more time in one-on-one communication with him and he agreed to join one of the Internet chat groups, one that used a browser-based interface. He got caught up in the interchange and we developed friendships with people on-line that continued off-line. We visited several of the people we met and they visited us, and we never would have known them if not for the Internet.
I suggest that you have a talk with your wife and retain an open mind to trying new experiences.
