recently my gf noticed that i had an obsession over music, not just one genre, i listen to as many as possible, i could not belive that she told me how much time i spend listening to music, producing, mixing, on djtechtools.com, on my own blog vs time spent with her, im sure im not the only person with this problem, so whats the best way to deal with other people not understanding the passion that we have.
you’ve just gotta work out a way you dedicate time to your gf and your ‘musical mistresses’
have a chat to the missus and tell her you need to spend x amount of hours to music related activites a day, and see what she says
was music a big passion (i.e were you spending several hours a day/week doing it) before you got together with your girl?
the short of it is you just gotta find an even balance. happy wife, happy life… but if you are finding yourself using music as an excuse to get away from your girl - you may need to weigh it all up!
She noticed a looong time ago, but just recently got worked up enough to to tell you.
This should be a red flag and you should take notice…she’s going to make a decision…if you don’t step up to the plate.
So you have to either find balance and put your priorities in check, or cut her loose and move on.
Or,
Open a line of communication…keep it open, in check and often.
Like Josh@Firestorm above said…balance.
Women need attention.
It’s like those magnetic mines in The Terminator Salvation…you can only avoid it for so long before you cross paths with it and it blows your legs off.
Spend time with her. Talk with her and make sure you’re in check and she’s good. Let her know how you feel about your passion and ask her where she finds the balance in the relationship. That’s your guide. Make her happy.
I bolded the important parts…
All the rest is just jibber jabber. I had to come back to correct my Yodaspeak…damn Stormtrooper thread
Idk man, fuck. I was recently talking to a bunch of friends after my broadcast and the only thing I could really describe it … was like foreplay. Idk. I love love love love love being on the air!
I honestly think playing live would be like sex for me! Probably not exactly like it, but same-ish.
I love it. Every second of it.
On a side note: wtf? Did b3nz0n just have a post with words only?!
1st thing, no ones old lady is ever satisfied. There is no escaping, there is no permanent fix.
You just need to act like you care for a little while until she gets over it. Do something nice just for her, cook one night or something. Then you will get a pass for awhile. Rinse and repeat.
