My Girlfriend is Having an Emotional Affair
post=114118
Why do people come to internet nerds for relationship advice?
Well I went to the bar first but the ATM was broken and they wouldn't accept a tab <3
My Girlfriend is Having an Emotional Affair
Oh I meant to put that in but I was fuming . . .
Oh I totally confronted her. Slammed doors and everything. And she denied everything.
EDIT: I have proof because I reached a breaking point and read her text messages. :(

Dude I said in the OP that I did talk to her about it. Now I am fuming on the internet while she sleeps peacefully and without worries because she does not have feelings.
My Girlfriend is Having an Emotional Affair
It's not the thought man - it's the reality. I have seen the emails. And I have seen the appointments that she doesn't tell me about. She otherwise tells me about her day in exacting detail, unless this dude shows up. And she was listening to music the other day and wouldn't tell me who she was listening to and then it was that guy. So they are totally getting along and she is totally into him. I'm not being paranoid.

Haven't we had this thread before...?
Kidding aside, you should definitely ask her about it, not us. We can't do much to help you other than offer advice based on the above four sentences.
Oh I way asked her about it. And she insists that its innocuous. I don't know why people caught cheating insist that they aren't. They are cheating for a reason. Shouldn't they give up??
My Girlfriend is Having an Emotional Affair
So my girlfriend is talking to this other guy a lot. She texts and emails him all the time. She is a massage therapist, and he comes in for massages all the time. He has also invited her out to Yoga practice in the morning and has sent her pictures of himself (while playing guitar of course). The Yoga and guitar are a smooth move with which I cannot compete (I play an electronic keyboard and I write video game music).
So basically my girlfriend is having an emotional affair with this douchebag.
Have any of you been in a similar situation? Is there any conflict resolution, or should I move on? I feel like there will never be trust between us again.

Famitsu scores Final Fantasy XIII
About reviews: I guess you guys like to say that game scores are always bought and everything but if you look at the best-reviewed games ever . . .
http://apps.metacritic.com/search/process?ty=3&ts=&tfs=game_all&sb=5&release_date_s=&release_date_e=&metascore_s=&metascore_e=&x=37&y=13
. . . they are all really good games and I know that some of them are personal favorites of yours, Nightblade Orange Box for example). I think it's disgusting that you guys are so cynical about a hobby you invest so much time and money into (well I guess some of you pirate everything).
Anyway, like Neophyte I'm not afraid to admit that I will buy this as soon as it comes out and like it a lot.

Digital Games and the Military Questionairre (for my Dissertation)
Well I say it's a little disingenuous for them to call it a dissertation if it's for undergrad but anyway:
1. Have you played any games that concern modern warfare, especially Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, America's Army or Rainbow Six: Vegas? If so, which ones?
Only occassionally. I avoid realistic shooters for the most part but I have played most Tom Clancy and COD franchises at some point.
2. How realistic did you find these games to be?
They don't seem very realistic at all.
3. In what light do these games present the military and did they alter your opinions on the military in any way?
They do not alter my opinion of the military. However I think the glamorized and amplified nature of military conflict presented in the games is pretty insensitive and it is profoundly disturbing that there is such a large market for "realistic" shooters. I worry that some young people sign up for duty thinking it is like a video game.
4. Do you feel you have a better knowledge of military practices and procedures after having played these games?
Not any more than I would reading a Tom Clancy novel. However, I feel like I understand the concepts of clearing a room using demolition charges etc. that I would would not have ever thought about had I not played military shooters.
5. Have these games made you more aware of the strengths and weaknesses of different types and models of guns, including their attachments, and which scenarios different equipment is best suited towards?
Yes, but I suspect that my knowledge of guns through video games is very distorted. For example, it is impossible to make an accurate shot while walking or running in real life. However I know about lots of gun models and stuff, whereas without video games I have 0 interest in firearms.
6. Would/ Have any of these games influenced your decision as to whether or not you would like to sign up for the armed forces?
No.
7. Do you believe that if you were to sign up to serve the military, that you would have a head start over other recruits from playing these games? Do you believe that these games can pre-condition someone to have an enhanced knowledge of the theoretical side of military life?
That depends on the application. I think for infantry, video games give the wrong impression about combat and actually present a handicap to the recruit. However, for pilots of aircraft, submarines, etc, I think that simulations give new recruits a tremendous advantage. I suspect that combat flight simulators are much more like the real thing than a Call of Duty game.
8. Is it your opinion that these games would be beneficial in the training of soldiers?
No.
9. Do you believe/ know of technology which powers digital games that is used in the field, by the military, on a day-to-day basis? Please give examples.
I believe that unmanned aerial drones are piloted in a way similar to playing a video game. I have also seen a documentary about a robot used in the middle east to disarm bombs that is controlled by a device that looks suspiciously like a Playstation controller. The documentary told me that the design was intentional, because most soldiers have played a video game before.
10. Do you believe there are any subliminal messages within such games that may condition you to be of a certain opinion?
No. I think video game violence is really ridiculous and that only a crazy person would have their worldview shaped by them.
11. How do you think that digital games will have impact on the military in the future?
I think the military will eventually realize they are wasting their money on video games training for ground troops. For pilots, however, they will be extremely useful. However, as far as I know the military has been using simulations for pilot training for far longer than consumer-oriented simulations have been around.
