[Update] My girlfriend is not breaking up with me

[KenM]

I hope things go well, ForceUser. Spending too much time together can be bad and unhealthy for any relationship. Remember the saying: Absense makes the heart grow fonder.

Good luck, Forceuser.

As an aside, folks, please stay away from sexist comments. It's easy for threads like this to attract them, so we appreciate restraint.

.../snip/... We discussed things and figured out the real problem: she spends all of her free time devoted to the relationship to the detriment of her personal interests. We have agreed to spend less time together, and she has signed up for a poetry class and an aikido class where she hopes to make new friends and have a life of her own that does not involve being devoted to the relationship 24/7. It's strange new territory for me - the idea of her not being around as often - but it sounds healthy and if it makes her happier, I'm all for it. It will be an adjustment for me, but it's a lot better than breaking up, which as it turns out, is something neither of us wants to do.

Sweet Zombie Jesus...an island of maturity in a sea of...well... you know.

Congratulations and good luck going forward!

I'm glad talking it out worked for you. My life partner and I have these issues also. but thankfuly he isn't into gaming and I'm not into cars.

Good luck Forceuser. I hope it all works out.

 

[Treebore]

It can definitely work! Good luck!

Most couples have this issue at some time or another; congrats to you Forceuser for sticking it out and communicating together to find answers.

I wish you and her all the best.

 

[the Jester]

Good luck to you, ForceUser! I hope things work out!

I coulda been a contenda!

Love stinks.

Think for a second if you didn't have the desire to procreate, sow your oats, continue the species, for companionship, or whatever you want to call it. Think about the time spent dealing with relationships, the opposite sex, thinking about the opposite sex, etc.

If I didn't have to deal with all that, I could focus on my plan to rule the world!! Damn desire to further the species.... :\

 

[Pielorinho]

Dude, think about if you didn't have a desire to rule the world, how much time that would free up for spending with your loved ones!

Nobody ever asks Dr. Doom for love advice. Although that'd be kinda cool.
