How about - don't invite her over when you're working.

count the number of times the word "bitch" is used in this thread and there's your answer

Well, if you guys live in different cities, I can see how she might want/expect your undevided attention when she is in town. That's a bit of a pickle, and one of the many complications of a long distance relationship.

nah shes not - infact older and way more mature than me [which aint hard]
admitidly i rarely see her as i'm living in a different city so can see why she prob moans - just thought id have a bitch about it cos no-one else wants to listen and i'm sure u lot prob go thru the same shit

sounds like she's a young and immature.
time to grow up and move up.

She and I were together for a year, and really, her interfering with my work was only one of our many issues.
I know what you mean though, WeLoveNoise, and I think ultimately, you just need to impress upon her the significance of your work and how it is an investment you're making in your collective futures. With the money you're saving, you can buy her a big ring, a down payment on a new house, and nest egg for when the babies come and she wants to stay home...
...and like I said before, there are SOOOOO many ways in which you two can make this time you spend working not mutually exclusive with her.

if she's a pain in the ass, are you absolutely sure she is indeed a 'she'?

Yeah, I've been there...it seems like some women just don't understand where money comes from. Braaad's advice is good though. There are ways in which she SHOULD be able to be productive while you're being productive. For example, she could bring some work to do herself, a good book, cook dinner for the two of you (for when you're done working), fold laundry, pay bills, write the great American novel...something.
My EX girlfriend used to keep me from getting anything done. I repeat, my EX girlfriend. ;)

Women can get like that. Men? Maybe I dunno, never dated one. She's gotta bring whatever she does over to your place, so she has something to do too. Dang dude, this is easy stuff- figure it out before you even think about getting married...sorry gotta go- my wife's calling me.

make her do everything and you moan and criticize

have you considered renting a desk somewhere?

Get her a bottle. Make her drink. Maybe have a glass yourself.

I'd have very little motivation if my wife didn't respect me and believe in my abilities as a designer. Hell, I'm definitely not a natural businessman, but she still believes in me. Makes a world of difference.
- how is it going with that anyhow?_salisae_
- Staying afloat, but barely. If every proposal I have out there turn into contracts on Monday though, I'd be booked for 6 months.Scotch_Roman
