The fact of the matter is she wants your time. That will never go away. I have been married for 11 years, we dated for four before that. I have been a developer in some capacity for almost 8 years and never in that time did my wife let me get away with being on the computer too much. She wants to spend time with you (or I should say that she wants you to want to spend time with her instead of your computer).
Bad, bad advice. In California you can actually get arrested for killing someone.The Ninja Space Goat wrote:Kill her... its the only solution.

I'm just going to say, tell her to go home or tell her to come over an hour or so after you get home.
Now, when I had a girlfriend, that wasn't me.
My trick is to only sleep 4-6 hours a night. That way I have time away from my girl, my roommates, etc.
I'm single now and now I sleep 3-6 a night and spend all of my time coding. Bus to work, at work, bus to home, at home. lol
Sometimes I do in my sleep too but that's another thread. bahaha

Re: Trouble with girlfriend/spouse/significant other
Given the choice between an woman and surfing the web -- I would choose the woman every time. Let's face it ... we all spend too much time on the web and should be among humans more ... especially those of the opposite sex.hydroxide wrote:How do you deflect the incessant complaints about 'how can you always be on the computer' or 'you like the computer more than me' or 'if you look at one more website, I'm going to be mad?' What techniques do you use to take advantage of your precious computer time at home?
I am married with kids, and being single with a girlfriend who wants your time is about as easy as life gets. It will be gone all too soon ... so I would recommend enjoying it as much as you can now ...
George Bernard Shaw - "Youth is wasted on the young."
Henry David Thoreau - "... I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear, nor did I wish to practice resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out the marrow of life ..."

I understand what you are saying here, but because my wife reads over my shoulders at times, I can't agree with youarborint wrote:I am married with kids, and being single with a girlfriend who wants your time is about as easy as life gets.

Re: Trouble with girlfriend/spouse/significant other
I didn't say bings young and single was better ... just to enjoy it while you have it. I would agree that being married is better and that having kids takes life to a completely different level.Everah wrote:I understand what you are saying here, but because my wife reads over my shoulders at times, I can't agree with you. I will say that married life can be better than dating life if done right. Oh yeah baby, way better...
