Well, if you've built an office into the house, and she hounds you when you are in your new office... shit, I'd be pissed.
Then, I'd find an office outside the home. Explain to her how you HAVE to rent an office now, cuz *she* fucked up the original money saving plan. Show her how much money you are gonna lose from renting an office. Then, explain that this cost is gonna have to be recouped by long hours of work at the new, rented office. Give her a kiss and head out the door to go sign the rental agreement... (don't be rude about it all). I bet you she will call you in 15 mins and promise to not bother you ever again while you are in the office at home. hehe |

More common than you think. My ex used to bitch and complain that I did the same thing, since the ICQ would go off all the time. She didn't have a problem spending the money though. |

He was barely around one month, helping the lady with whatever. Then she realized how tight the money was getting and set him back to work. Haha. |

I get the same thing..... "Quit playing on your computer", "Who are you talking to now", "You pay more attention to your online girlfriend than me"..... and so forth, lol. That's why I have an office now :)
If I am working at home I go in the den and shut the door.... she knows I'm working for real then. I finally showed the gf what all I do online and that chatting with people IS a part of my job.... she is a lot more understanding now. |

hi ramona, love ya baby!!! long time no see! come to atlanta and visit us!!! |
Set yourself a strict schedule for WORK and only work. During those hours, she can phone you, and you will be home on time, and even come home for LUNCH break as well ;)
Seriously, seperate work from non-work in no uncertain terms somehow. Get a hat made that says AT WORK and wear it while busy or something.. Get a door for your office.. a home intercom.. something so there is a clear line. |

when you get your checks in the mail, hold back on some so that it looks like your income has dropped quite a bit...do this for about 2 weeks, and explain to her nicely that you didn't have as much computer time to make the good money you do cause there was so much that she needed done.... then slowely work those checks you held back into the rotation again |
god, i am sneaky
|
sorry to hear, man.
I've been in the same boat. Luckily my wife is a webmaster too and she understands, but when I sit here posting and watching the movies that the other GFYers post, he goes like "are you going to work, or just going to look at porn?" And she's a pornographer too... who the fuck understands women??? |

Have any of you guys tried sitting your lady down for a couple hours and just have her watch what you do or work with you? I usually find that when somebody has a difficult time "understanding" something, if you show them exactly what's going on they start to realize what the situation really is.

my wife doesn't mind the fact I do look at naked girls all day, just cause I love her and would never think about being with another woman...we are secure like that but oh shit...the one day I found this kickass wallpaper with a naked chick on it...that lasted about 1 hour...i guess it is one thing to do work and sort pics and design shit with girls on it...but a static wallpaper is way different to her... |
Quote:
the biggest impact was when she saw income go down cause of fucking off with her all day....when the women see that income go down, THAT is what they understand the most |

To bad you guys aren't here right now, big party at the Sunset Room tonight :thumbsup Lotsa party favors are going to be there.......YOU KNOooooooooooooW! |
I not only caught heat for that EVERY SINGLE DAY, but she would look over my shoulder every time I started typing trying to see who I was talking to and what I was saying.
I'm like 'Can you see the room full of employees? Do you like your Coach and Gucci purses?? Then LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE AND LET ME WORK!!!!'. Drove me nuts and she never could get over it, eventually one of the things that split us up. Next time I have a serious gf I'm getting office space so I can just get out of sight. |

OH man, I feel for ya.. My ex gfriend was that way.. Even back in the day when I was solo and pulling down mad personal cash, she was then and until I left her set that I spent time online to just chat, bs, etc.. It's all fun and games moreless to her.
Damn damn damn glad Kristin isn't that way. Well, not really at least.. She just says I should work more and play less golf. I don't think 2 hours a day at the course is to much to ask :) |

Tell your wife to get a job.
My wife works full time although she doesn't need to. She'd drive me nutz if she was at home all day. |

:1orglaugh i have the same problem, just because i work with a learned skill i am not "working as hard". maybe if they werent fucking around in high school trying to look pretty they would also have a skill.
many people think because you work at home it is much easier, but i have spent over 8-9 years learning the skills i know today. i would like people to spend that amount of time learing something then come talk to me. my ex was really bad for this, just because i get to set my own hours doesnt mean i am not working. i sacrificed long time ago and i deserve to work from home. "come grab me from work you are at home" like they can just phone me in the middle of the day and expect a ride. |

Clicks like to see men work hard to make our money ... this is just a fact.
They easily get jealous, so just do as JaceXXX suggested: 1) Make a designated office spot in your house 2) Randomly bitch about nonsense, and how difficult your current project is. 3) Tell her to fuck off on days you feel like you have a lot of work 4) Show some physical wearage by missing some sleep and having it show A lot to do, but probably worth being able to work out of your own home. If all fails, choke the bitch. Hope this helps. |
My wife thinks because I'm at home during the day (recent development), she is going to quit her job and sit around all day just like me.

Stop working for a week or two. Let the checks come in smaller, and see if that's what she REALLY wants you to do.
