Question

Could you please help me correct these few sentences please?

1 It sometimes feels like my husband can't wait for me to go to sleep so he can/in order for him to go online. I want him using the computer even less now that I feel this.
2 Who else would you not get up to go to the phone for (if one were to call)?
3 Not one day has gone by that/when we haven't watched a movie.

1. It sometimes feels like (or as if) my husband can't wait for me to go to sleep so that he can go online. (there's nothing really wrong with how you say the 2nd sentence in this sequence, but it doesn't sound quite like what you'd say in this situation.) try...That makes me really want him to stay off the computer. or, "That makes his computer use bother me even more."

2. This is somewhat ackward phrasing, but might be something that is said in conversation. If someone were really tired, ill, or upset, and in bed, a friend or loved one who was there might ask this question if the person in question had already declined to talk to someone, or, had expressed that they did not want to take a call from someone. But, it would be more natural for them to say, "Ok, who else do you not want to talk to, in case they call."

3. that sounds more natural, but either is ok

4. Doctors know about when the baby was conceived. They might even know to the day. or, They might even be able to pinpoint it to the day.
