as ian mentioned in another post, his girlfriend thinks he spends too much time on here. she's right. and so is my girlfried. my girlfriend's spare time is spent watching 'stenders, corrie or programs on descovery about children (no jacko jokes please, it's her job). meanwhile, i spend my spare time doing freelance work, looking at message boards and downloading tunes. sometimes i feel like things would be better if she understood where i was from with respect to my job and lifestyle (i.e. online stuff) but at the same time i like it like this because she's always something new and refreshing to me

yes it would be much better if you rushed home every evening to sit in front of the TV watching hours of intolerable drivel, maybe get a copy of 'Hello!' or 'OK' and who knows, by the end of the month you may even be able to have conversations with people at work about the Eastenders casts private lives - true happiness is to be found in the blissful land of celebrity gossip, you never need think again!

I did actually go through a phase of getting into trashy publications like the National Enquirer! but it's not a very difficult addiction to break. I can only read about Britney's lesbian antics so many times before I want to drill a hole in the side of my head to let the boredom out.

I would agree but my girlfriend is currently doing a masters in design.
She prefers illustraton and print etc while I love my multimedia.We have decided that we could never ever work together as it would lead to one of our deaths. Its very cool being able to talk about design etc to her and we like similar designs and designers.
We argue about everything else though, music, films, my comics and TV. I think she reads Hello...

People, I feel your pain. Even though my girlfriend is very cool I have to suffer Romantic Comedies and other indignities but I have a secret weapon...
My gf wanted to watch an episode of dark angel with me, she loves it and knows I think its pants, so I got all enthusiastic about watching it and told her that the lady in it was damn hot and in my top 5 women of all time. I never got to watch the episode and the subject never came up again...
Moral of the story? Next time your gf wants to watch some shit like charlies angels 2, tell her you will happily watch it cos the women are fantastic, if she calls your bluff and makes you watch it keep making suggestive comments about the ladies all the way through the film.
Now, on the other hand I have made my gf watch an ungodly amount of shitty horror films during which she inevitably falls alseep.

oh well....it's so important that your other half is interested in what you doing and vice versa!

I keep out of her shit, she keeps out of my shit, that's how I like it :)

dont live with your girlfriends, have them over when you want to do something together, have seperate lives, dont be a matching jackets and holding hands kicking leaves at each other couple

i couldn't live with anyone else except my bf. everyone else annoys me too much! And also we do so many different things from each other that I probably wouldn't see much of him if I didn't live with him...

I found a cure to the problem.
Get them involved, they then realise they have no clue what you do and thus making you look like a God in their eyes. They then leave you alone because they have a slightly better understanding

i have not lived together with one woman for many years now. this one i am together with now-i do not think is one to move in with. not yet .more as just foreplay or even sex. when i think about it tieing pants and stockings or strings i think are a prequel? to somethin very serious. we will go away some place this weekend and i will see
