Is it me or is she @#$!ING demanding? It may be both, but you should be ready to accept your share on the problem you have is there for sure (maybe it is even close to 100%). I had similar problem in the past and from time to time it comes into scene again. I used to play Warcraft III 2 hours every day. As crazy as it sounds: this is a lot of time, for someone working/studying full day. Of course I would like to play much more. The guys I played were there 3-8 hours a day and could improve much more. Another point is that man's brain is a little bit stupid: we can really concentrate on one thing at a time. When talking in the phone with her and playing at the same time, I was just saying, "yeah", "hmmm, hmmm" , "ok". And it is very bad to a girl if you just do that without really mean it. To feel loved, a woman must feel you are interested in her matters, not only that you stay there letting her talking. Ah, by the way, almost 100% of times that I was talking to her and trying play warcraft at the same time, she was pissed off and I lost the game. Just think about it: this is lose-lose situation. Both things that mattered to me (she being happy and me winning games) were screwed by my actions. I can't remember exactly how but we just came to the point where if she called me during a game I would say "I am just finishing this game. I'll call you right back". A warcraft game usually lasts less than 20 minutes and that's pretty much ok. Of course she would be pissed off if I just said "When I finish playing I come back to you" and then return her call 3 hours later. In your case, I would tell to speak frankly with her but find a compromise solution. If you don't like interrupting your practice say "I will just finish this exercise" and then return to her after the exercise, not 2 hours later. If she likes you she will understand that guitar is very important to you and you don't like to interrupt your practice in a key point (let's say specially if you are building up speed on an exercise). But she must also know that you are able to sacrifice a little bit of something that's really important for you to be with her. Otherwise she will just think that you only come to her when you get bored of practicing guitar. You are the only one that can make this last part work, my friend. If you really like her just think about it. This post has been edited by Gus: Oct 18 2008, 09:42 AM -------------------- my "Thank you GMC!" video
