The GirlfriendFollow

Is slowly driving me insane.

They'll do that :s

What if he's not having sex?











Ha Ha

What drives you so insane? Is it always the same thing? If you find you keep having the same argument and the same thoughts, you may want to spend some time being proactive rather than reactive.

Edit: Just read Chand's post. He's right, you know. People don't change. You either decide to live with their particular brand of crazy (and they yours) or ya don't.

I'm currently running the latest version of GirlFriend and I have been having some problems lately. I have been running the same version of DrinkingBuddies 1.0 forever as my primary application, and all the Girlfriend releases I have tried have always conflicted with it. I hear that Drinking Buddies runs fine as long as Girlfriend is ran in background mode and the sound is turned off.

Unfortunately, I can't find the switch to turn the sound off. Therefore, I have to run both of them separately. Girlfriend also seems to have a problem coexisting with my Golf program, often trying to abort Golf with some form of timing incompatibilities.

I probably should have stayed with Girlfriend 1.0, but I thought I might see better performance from GirlFriend 2.0. After months of conflicts and other problems, I consulted a friend who has had experience with Girlfriend 2.0. He said I probably didn't have enough cache to run Girlfriend 2.0 and eventually it would require a Token Ring to run properly. He was right, as soon as I purged my cache, and realized that no one in their right mind is installing new token rings, Girlfriend 2.0 uninstalled itself.

Shortly after that, I installed Girlfriend 3.0 beta. Unfortunately, there was a bug in the program and the first time I used it, it gave me a virus. I had to clean out my whole system and shut down for a while. I very cautiously upgraded to Girlfriend 4.0. This time I used SCSI probe first and also installed a virus protection program. It worked okay for a while until I discovered that GirlFriend 1.0 was still in my system. I tried running Girlfriend 1.0 again with Girlfriend 4.0 still installed, but Girlfriend 4.0 has a feature I didn't know about that automatically senses the presence of any other version of Girlfriend and communicates with it in some way. This results in the immediate removal of both versions.

The version I have now works pretty well, but there are still some problems. Like all versions of GirlFriend, it is written in some obscure language I can't understand, much less reprogram. Frankly, I think there is too much attention paid to the look and feel rather than the desired functionality.

Also, to get the best connections with your hardware, you usually have to use gold-plated contacts and I have never liked how GirlFriend is “object-oriented.”

A year ago a friend of mine upgraded his version of Girlfriend to GirlFriendPlus 1.0, which is a Terminate and Stay Resident version of GirlFriend. He discovered that GirlFriendPlus 1.0 expires within a year if you don't upgrade to Fiance 1.0. So he did, but soon after that, he had to upgrade to Wife 1.0, which he describes as a huge resource hog. It has taken up all his space: He can't load anything else. One of the primary reasons he decided to go with Wife 1.0 was because it supposedly came bundled with a feature called FreeSex Plus.

Well, it turns out the resource requirements of Wife 1.0 sometimes prohibits access to FreeSexPlus, particularly the new Plug-ins he wanted to try. On top of that, Wife 1.0 must be running on a well warmed-up system before he can do anything. Although he did not ask for it, Wife 1.0 came with MotherInLaw which has an automatic pop-up feature he can't turn off. I told him to trying installing Mistress 1.0, but he said he heard if you try to run it without first uninstalling Wife 1.0, Wife 1.0 will delete MSMoney files before uninstalling itself. Then Mistress 1.0 won't install because of insufficient resources.

P.S. Watch out for the K-I-D-S virus because they have an insatiable appetite for memory and CPU time over and above everything else above.

Thats pretty much were I am at AF, I like the girl a lot.

However it truly is coming to the point where I want to say "Figure your sh[Antiquewhite][/Antiquewhite]it out or else it is over". Of course ultimatums are childish buts its just how I feel.

Ultimatums aren't childish if it's over something serious. While it's all well and good to want to accept someone as they are and all that lovey-dovey ********* if they're doing something that you just can't stomach for the rest of your life...well...

This isn't Seinfeld and I'm sure you're not considering breaking up with her because she twirls her hair constantly. If you've been working with her for a long time, made the problem you have known, and she's making no effort to work on it (or if she has no intention to), you have to decide if you actually can live with it and be happy or not. I may be being rather obvious here, but some people are so "love conquers all" and "love is blind" that they can't see that it's never going to be some storybook romance (not you Bhodi...I'd never accuse you of living in a fairy tale).

If I am not living in a fairy tale then why the f[Antiquewhite][/Antiquewhite]uck am I wearing this swashbucklers outfit?

She has issues? Why not offer to attend some kind of counciling with her? 2 birds with one stone. You could get some couples counciling which I always reccommend before you get too serious and she gets some personal counciling which could help fix what ever issue you are having. Some churches offer this free, some colleges offer it free so their students get the training/experience they need.

Alot of workplaces do as well, since personal issues inevitably end up affecting your performance at work. Starting out with couples counseling is also a great way to get someone to lose their fear of going to a counselor in general. Although if you continued with couples counseling, the same counseler would be unlikely to accept her on for one-on-one sessions due to confidentiality issues (hard to remember what you know from the couples sessions as opposed to the one-on-one sessions I would think and it would be easy to slip up and say something you shouldn't).

Before my wife and I got married, the preacher who was performing the ceremony wanted to counsel us.

He ended up just telling us a really long story that could be summed up as "If the husband wants a ******* from the wife, it probably means he is gay."

I don't know if that is standard church counselling, but you might want to be careful.

Tell me about it. I didn't appreciate it one bit.

I've been mulling it over for a couple weeks now. Usually given enough thought and time things tend to figure themselves out. Its just not happening this time.

She has this whole thing where she only wants my attention if I am occuppied (reading, playing a game, going out with friends). If I dont drop what I am doing for her then I am a bad boyfriend.

She is obtuse. Example she read Life of Pi and didnt get the whole animals being representation of people aspect even though its clearly explained at the end.

She is unhappy with various aspects of her life and tends to have a "grass is greener" type approach to pursuing happiness. "If only I did this or moved here" I would be happy.


Part of me knows that these are probably issues that are too big to get resolved however I have been going out with the girl for just 1 month shy of two years an despite these things I really like her and hold out hope that somehow things will work out.
