I get that. I also get emailed at all hours and if I'm alone, I will usually reply. But if I'm with someone, I'll either turn off data on my phone or will leave it somewhere where it won't distract me. She must do the same. Especially given how it's affecting you.

Put some time aside earlier in the evening for her to catch up with emails?

Does this ring a bell? * You're dating a woman only to find out you're in a long queue of suitors that she rotates, flakes on, and/or won't sleep with * Your ex-gf/wife repeatedly f*cked with your head and demonstrated low interest throughout the relationship * You've been dating a...

That is a question I have thought about a lot, not least because everyone kept telling me to stay home, take time off work, stop running etc, but I just went straight back into it after a few days, and so I couldn't help but feel guilty about it initially which led to this very question. I think...

Thanks, appreciate your unique perspective. Over the last few weeks we have been spending time differently, more active dates (like hiking) as we have some of those hobbies in common, something we weren't doing at first. This is now going a lot better than it was when I first posted and in the...

Freelance penetration testing is a growing field, very lucrative, and if you know anything about web development it's super easy to get into (and make more $$$ from per hour than web development). Look up "awesome pen testing" or "awesome security" lists on Github and other similar things and...

Thanks Augustus, that's what I'm trying to do. Probably just takes more time than I'm giving it.

After some advice. I haven't posted here in ages, mainly because I fell in love and got married to this awesome girl. To make a long story short, she passed away last year, and now I'm dating again. The first weird thing I noticed is that unlike a decade ago, now that I'm early 30s it's...

If you read enough absurdist fiction you will come to understand that objectively, we cannot ascribe a purpose to life. That is of course irrelevant, because what matters is the subjective purpose that gets you out of bed in the morning. So, if you believe procreating makes your life...

I've been quite dominant, wouldn't say 100% but much more than 50-50. Saying "I love you" has seemed to liberate her. Before I sometimes got the feeling that she was waiting for the hammer to fall, like she thought my interest in her wasn't that high and she was afraid of scaring me off. As a...

Thanks guys, I guess the best thing to do is just act normal like none of this happened.

So last night me and gf get back from a night out, both of us still slightly buzzed. We're cuddling in bed and I just felt like I had to say "I love you". She said it back and then initiated sex. In the morning she initiated sex again. It could have been the alcohol that made me say it, in...

I don't like hanging around smokers. If someone I was going out with had the nerve to lie to me about their smoking like that I might storm out too. But I wouldn't threaten to end the relationship over it, that's just overreacting especially if she's been great in every other way.

I've had the same problem, it's just nerves with a new girl. He'll be fine next time they do it, or the time after that.

^^ Yeah but they still need to prove it. Otherwise they could just walk into your house, take any change they find lying around, and claim it was "stolen". This whole business will probably end up in court and if the treasury can't prove that the coins were stolen they will have to return them.
