Term paper

[largo]

All right everyone, I need some help from those members of the board that are active in any of the following. . .

Writing, such as with guyver fan-fics, fan-art, rpg, or any other form of fan based works while in a serious relationship or even just dating someone.

Here it is, I'm doing my term paper for my psychology class on how relationships are effected by, now this may sound harsh but it's not personal, fan-obsessed activities?

So, if I could get some honest feedback it would be some serious help. I also plan to ask the same thing on several other non-guyver anime/gaming type boards.

Now, I believe that to help get on a level where one could talk about this kind of thing openly that I'll give some of my own personal experience for the world to share.

For me my girlfriend is well let's just say unsupportive to say the least. I dare not write my fan-fics at home becuase she would crucify me on the cross. Because with work and school I really only get to spend time with her at night so anything that would get in the way of us is, well from her perspective, evil.

I mean I've already written up to chapter 8 of my fan-fic but due to the fact that the only place I can type it up is at home and due to that she can't be home. So hey what's a guy to do?

Well there's me laying it out so if I can get any input that would help me greatly. This thing gotta be about 40 to 50 pages. So the more I get from all of you will be greatly apprecated.

[TheGuyversWill]

I've lost two girlfriends to Guyver and or other fan based activities.

One of them because I was checking out the internet more than her. I was more interested in the computer than spending time with her and the only time I would spend with her was mainly in the bed.

The other one I was hooked on a Super Hero video game where I played a Guyver. I'd put her off over and over and over. She could come up to me and try to initiate various acts only to have me tell her "I need to finish up this wolf run, then I'll come to bed." She'd go to bed and wait for me to come, but after I finished that run, I just had to do one more. So more often than not she'd spend the night in bed by herself only to have me greet her as she was waking up and I was slinking into bed.

I learned later that on these nights she would cry herself to sleep. Truly sad.

The sad part... I do the same thing in my current relationship. Will I ever learn?

Hope that helped you out some, Largo.

Yah that helps big time, but TheGuyversWill I would try to learn from those past mistakes me personally last time a video game came between me and my girl well lets just say I had to go buy a new PS2 afterwards and had the imprents of the controler and memory slots on my forhead. So lets just hope for your sake that your current girl isn't the get angry type when ignored.
