bah, real life is for suckers. The whole point of the world is that everyone else is stupid and you should take advantage of them (and take their money while youre at it). Its all about sales!

OMG yeah because we point out his irresponsibility by buying a car he can't afford and has to work 15 hours a day to pay for it, that automatically qualifies us as teenagers who don't know what the real world is like.

you clearly didnt read my entire post.

i said i understand thinking hes irresponsible for buying the car and for having to work that much to pay it off. however, there have been sentiments in the thread about how if someone works too much, that is something you should get away from.. which i dont think is true. coupled with being irresponsible, id agree. i was speaking to those people who were talking about the former, not the latter.

grab him by the nutsack and poke him in the eye

so true, sothis. my husband works 7am to 4pm (and overtime when he can) and i recently got a job, working 8am to 3pm. we just bought a house (3 bdr, 2bth, capecod style), so money is not super abundant, we need to watch the budget. we are lucky that we have our evenings together, so we can have dinner, watch a movie or just cuddle before bedtime.

oh, and sexypersian, never, and i mean NEVER, try to come between a man and his ride!! i know, i learned that a long time ago!

Originally posted by sothis i understand the part about not wanting to be with someone who would be frivalous with their money. however. the fact that hes gone all the time? thats called real life, with a real job yea, its not 9 to 5, but hell.. programming jobs usually require 10 hours a day. you make shitloads of money, but you have to work your ass off for it. my sig other understands this, since he is in the same field of work. all of you must be used to dating other teenagers with part time jobs at burger king or something the real world generally takes much more time and energy, and the fact of the matter is, sometimes you cant spend as much time with your partner. dont like it? neither do any of us. but thats life.

Well, if that's the choice both of you are content with, than it's fine. But not all people are like that. I'd rather be lousy at work and have a crappy 650$ car I have now and be able to spend day and night with a girlfriend than to have loads of money, but work my ass off all day and see my girl once a week. The fact of the matter is, that guy didn't have to buy a car he can barely pay for. If he's working all the time to pay for this car, and he doesn't have a moment to spend with his girl, than it is obvious what his priorities are. If I was in his situation, I'd ditch the damn car right away (if I was to make such a stupid error of buying something that's way over my budget in the first place).

That is, of course, if the guy's interested in you. If he's not, than his actions are understandable. If he is, then he's a moron. My advice to you is just let him drive alone in his super car and find someone who's more willing to spend time with you.

If you really like him, keep him around.

BUT!

Since hes not around so much, get yourself a side dish, or a back up to keep you occupied till hes available.

(Back-ups are always a good thing to have around in the first few months of a new relationship)
