That's great, how many people in a relationship come out of it realizing that they hate the other person?

First of all, let's acknowledge a simple fact: Chicks are whiny.
I know. I have known, dated and spent too much time with quite a few of them, and no matter what you do or say in life JUST FOR THEM, they will still find something to whine about.
Spend some time with her obviously, but remind her that sometime you need time to yourself. It's a guy thing. I know because I sometimes feel the need to break free from my chick, too.
Remind her that there are worse ways to spend your time. For example, you are not spending time at a bar with your friends who look for single chicks. Remind her also that you work hard for a living, and besides here, you have very few joys in life. I know your pain because I work hard too, and sometimes find myself curious about the new Joe line. So I read these forums to find out information about my one hobby. Chicks also need to realize that virtually all men have a hobby. So tell her that you like your hobby, and that you are simply following a habit.
Flowers on occasion help. Chocolates too.
Yes, oh my GOD yes they are and yes they will.

Same thing happened to me last night. I'm in the same boat, only my girlfriend went out and got me M&M's for a peace offering.

she was just kidding. and i know this cuz today while she was at walmart she looked for bill......alas to no avail.
Now you've got a great relationship there. Understanding, Humor, & acceptance. Sounds swell.

I feel the same way. We both have wireless laptops and being next to her isn't enough. Always with the attention.

Thats fantastic advice and so topical. It's an analogy everyone here can understand.

Women on the other hand, probably would trade the Joes first chance they get, to have someone else marooned with them
If your GF is not open to your hobby, no matter how much time and effort you spend with her, toys are always going to be a negative aspect of your character to her.
But if your GF is open to toy collecting, try cultivating 'quality time' together in which you share your passion. Examples: Talk to her about why you like this or that figure. How you remember getting Spirit back in 1984 and why it's such a thrill to find him in stores again. Ask for her opinion if she thinks Firefly or Zartan is a bigger whimp. Bring her to watch Iron Man and go toy hunting in the stores together. Play Sims together. Basically so that she will feel included in this part of your life.
Soo true. I've tried explaining the hobby and my childhood with Joe. She doesn't get it. She's from the former U.S.S.R. and had a summer house in Siberia. She's materialistic about clothes but does not understand my obsession with Joe.

Best thread in a week. Time well spent away from my lady.
