1. Humberto you should communicate with your GF about your me time. Not an internet forum.

2. I tried to think up the saddest internet forum nick for myself, but mike hoxbig has beaten me to it. By a long shot.

Make sure your partner understands the need for "me-time"...

Usually requires them working a 8-5 job and understanding that when you get home, you sometimes just need to relax without having to give further attention to the spouse.

My wife understands completely, my time usually involves mountain biking twice on weekends and many a night playing PC games. However I do try balance is out, and when I game its only for a couple or hours and not the whole night.

She loves to read and watch crap TV shows.. she can do this when im doing my thing, and we are both happier for it.

seriously though, this is basically it. Woman take it personally in the beginning, but they eventually get it and figure out that its nothing personal. Guys just need "cave time" just like woman need time with the girls to talk their heads off. She goes out to visit mom, or girls and I play games. It is all about balance though

Sorted :)

I have this picture in my mind of this 20-something loser with handle-bar salvador dali moustache. He loves the sound of his own voice. Likes to ask advice threads on this here forum that are not so much "I have a problem with my ferrari" questions that they can't resolve - they're just that loser's way of telling us (on the internet, where you all lie through your teeth) that he has a ferrari.

I just don't know if that person is nuke or humberto.

I do not have a moustache,I have a beard/goatee

anyway I agree,humberto is a much better troll than me,except I dont troll(my threads are genuine with bits of ridiculousness)
anyway humperto,go do your own stuff and when she contacts you,tell her to fsk off :)

I'm sorry for my meltdown. And I'm sorry I was mean to you, Mike Hoxbig.

As regards the troll thing, I'm not really a troll. I post "works of fiction" but beyond that I don't vandalise the forums or derail other people's threads. I do not incite arguments. All my works of fiction are posted in Off Topic though not all of my threads in Off Topic are works of fiction; all my threads in the other subforums are essentially true, though sometimes slightly embellished. I never post fiction in other people's threads, only in the ones I start. So I'm not really a troll in the true sense.

Lately it irritates me when I ask a serious question only to have it dismissed as trolling and get mocked and called names.

As mentioned above, the boy who cried wolf comes to mind. You need to differentiate your trolling from your serious questions if you want people to take you seriously...

Wtf do you know about my relationships?

Boo hoo I'm sitting alone in my hotel room. Boo hoo I went on a date with a woman I met online. Boo hoo I have an embarrassing medical problem. Boo hoo I want my staff to work from 10 - 6. Boo hoo I'm back in the dating arena. Ad infinitum.

Seriously, grow a fscking pair you teletubby. Your trolling was amusing at first, but now that you've run out of ideas it seems like you're an emotionally immature delinquent...

+1000

And since when can one talk to ones hand? Oh wait, he probably has one of those sock puppets. Wouldn't surprise me, I hear socks feels quiet nice when you do sexy time with yourself. Does your sock have yellow or brown wool for hair? Hence forth Humberto will be known as the Puppet Master.
