are you saying she doesnt respect your design work?
- janne760
Your genius is being underestimated

thats a good thing, you can leave work and not think about it. the lure of designer mate is overwhelming but you have to understand that as a designer, you tend to compete with one another. And if you are unable to understand each other's style, nothing good will come of it.
best designer couples come with understanding, healthy crit, and complement. other wise it is destructive.

a muse on the other hand will support you no matter what. always there to inspire you. and that person does not need creative background, just creative flare.

she doesnt like im staying late doing work, she doesnt like my photography idea. i think i will go laying bricks.
- this sounds like more of a lack of support then a lack of understanding design. but thats just my opinion.nicole_marie
- senseg, one thing you can do is get her involved but it can be very painful, and you will get frustrated.MrDinky
- buy her a camera... every cute girl likes to think they are a photographer.nicole_marie
- i dread the day when you tell her that her posing pics are not good. good luckMrDinky

I don't think that a designer HAS to be with another designer for it to work, but they definitely have to have some type of understanding, respect, and love for what you do, or some form of it.
I would actually be scared to date another graphic designer, but I could never date someone who wasn't an artist in some way.
- yeah graphic designers are the worst of the worst. really the bottom pit of hell in terms of humanity.janne76
- hahahaha yes i would never want to myself.nicole_marie
- MrDinky0
there is that lure though, thinking that you see a cute designer type girl / guy, thinking that "man most of the creatives are freaky in bed like me, I wonder if she / he is"
- or just have a lot of problems.... like me. ahahahhaaanicole_marie
- more problems = more freaky sexMrDinky
- cause we are all insecure and constant need to have something new that inspires us. usually cheaters tooMrDinky
- and guys wonder why they pick the crazy ones. : ) lolnicole_marie
- i attract crazy girls, most of them are not creative, just crazy. like choking while i am driving. awesomeMrDinky
- haha hey at-least crazy keeps it entertaining.nicole_marie
- true enough. and sex was great.MrDinky

stop using such graphic language towards her;
pantone
magic wand tool
select her box
etc.
- MrDinky0
if you are not freaky, you are not creative.

I like to keep my ladies apart from my work and via versa..so I can have a break from them both whenever..

Did she respect your work a lot more in the beginning of the relationship? My X slowly changed from being impressed and complimentary to being cold and borderline insulting. I found out later (right around the time that we broke up) that it was because she saw I was happier and more passionate about my work than she was about hers. So her natural reaction was to act the way she did. It might be the same w/ your girlfriend. What does she do?
- Jaline0
She's doesn't respect what you do, probably doesn't understand it, and may not even think your job is "good enough" for the relationship. Find out if any of these are true, and talk to her about it. Otherwise, you may have to dump her.

Put her in a corner and give her a timeout lol.
