Too Easy...... Your the first one other than one that sent a direct message to me, to ask about employment. I came to the conclusion I think. It is basically the fact that other than looking for jobs, we are both unemployed at the moment. He plays his poker for money and I have job prospects that should hopefully be happening soon. So I think I came to what is mainly bothering me. (through the thread and reading so many opinions) I figure that what's bothering me is that he plays poker almost like a job and because I'm currently unemployed I tend to hang around to watch and see how he does. Then when we go home or whatever, I expect that we will almost switch over to things we both could do or enjoy together or even something I want to do, but a lot of the time he gets online instead. I didn't really think about it but it's almost like if I had a job and then when I got off work I'd want to relax and wouldn't like it of he was trying to drag me to do stuff I didn't want to do. So yeah I think I'm going to be more patient and all and also hopefully I'll have a job soon to take up my time. Plus, we've come to an agreement that sometimes we will spend time together by being together but technically doing separate things. Then I sorta get my bf but I'm not forcing him into anything and it's a happy medium for us. Other than that, we will also have designated times for 'us' time, no computers or iPhones or whatever.

I think the no electronics is a great idea.... Its something we all need to do more of.

I agree. Thanks for your input

I enjoy discussing it afterwards with people but prefer to watch them alone at absorb all content being given away.

Are you still friends with Katie? (i'm guessing you are Anna by the 'a' in front of amichelle..) We need a Wangstas comeback! There are still some Og's in the struggle out there.

Withhold sex ldo

Too easy- Great post. First time I ever read a whole post but couldn't make it through the cliffs, but maybe that's just your style.

Is boyfriend introverted? Maybe that has something to do with it. Introverts need alone time to recharge. Or maybe he needs to make a better schedule. If poker is a job, then treat it like one. Spend 8 hours a day playing, studying, posting on forums, working on hands, etc. Then get away from the computer.

I can tell you that it is depressing to watch someone who is addicted to the internet spend all their free time hunched over a computer screen. Turning the computer off could help. If you leave it on, it just calls to you. "Come check facebook...someone may have replied to your post on 2p2..." If you turn it off and put it away (maybe turn it face the wall or something. Anything that makes it inconvenient to just check on things real quick.) it can be a good reminder that you are done with it for the day.

I can think of no reason someone without a job should spend most of their day on the computer and then after eating dinner with his gf would need to go back to it. Possibly something you need to think about seriously WVU.

Have you tried finding new similar interests Michelle? For example, maybe you both find that you really enjoy Math and then that's one more thing you can do together. Or eating well.

Let me play him HU4ROLLZ, trust me, he won't be playing any poker for a while after.

is he mostly on his computer playing online poker or is he often dicking around on 2p2 and other time wasting sites? if hes playing poker and he's a profesional poker player then get the F off his back. if he tells you he needs to play poker but then just screws around on 2p2, just constantly remind him how dorky 2p2 is, make fun of his "internet friends", make ignorant statements such as referring to 2p2 as a blog, etc. that's the approach chicks have taken with me anyways, with varying levels of success.

Introduce him to werewolf. That should solve the problem

This poster is driving me crazy because "not" is emphasized. Why in the world is "that" not emphasized.

He's just not that into you.

He's just not that into you.

Heads would roll over this if I was a studio exec.

lol i almost added something along these lines to my post

So what's the problem then?

So you nag him while he's at work (even though you spend plenty of time with him) and then you're surprised when he tunes you out?

You sound controlling and needy. Not to mention the whole drama queen thing.

Lmao! Katie is now with a guy that she's dating (and by dating I mean shes stuck up his butt and I can't find her). I have talked to her some but haven't seen her in a long time! Maybe I can make one to parody wvu and myself.
