| so i never talk about my day job, cause i hate it, then i find DPC. I went to school for art, and i found a nice outlet here, and at first she thought it was great. Now whenever i talk about new ideas i get rolling eyes. Or i'm checking my scores to much. I can't win. I feel like im in F?*$& high school...sorry, glad they added the rant forum! |

Exactly how I got started here. It's nice to have a common interest/activity to share. Never even had a vague interest in photography till my guy gave me my canon powershot for x-mas.
This weekend we're going to rent the EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM and go shootin'. Can't wait!

Switch to porn sites and a large bag of Cheetos® - no wait - nearly forgot about the orange stains. Anyway, it's a diversionary tactic. When that becomes an issue, agree with her and she might even be the one to suggest going back to that DPC place.

| Well, I'm going to assume you were loving and encouraging and have complimented her photography skills and told her she should join dpc too.... If not, maybe that would help. It seems like she's being a bit immature and maybe a bit jealous of the time you spend on something she just "doesn't get". Like women who get irritated with their men who like sports or whatever. |

Perhaps you really are spending too much time on DPC. She may not be doing it very well, but she's letting you know she misses you and the time you spend together.
I also know how much this site can mean, and how taking on a challenge can put a spring in your step.
I came to a time when I had to monitor the time I spent on here. I decided an hour a day (bits and pieces of time add up) was reasonable. Find your own reasonable amount of time and stick with it. |

Best way to solve this problem is to do what I did. Buy her a camera and get her into it too! It's great fun to challenge each other! (When I look at it that way, have we become nerds??) ;)

Yup...I get in twubble for the amount of time I spend on here...but to be honest...I am usually only on DPC while I am waiting for processing, batching...stuff like that. It is my home page...so if my net is on...then DPC is on...and my pc is on 24 hours a day.
Realistically I don't spend that much time here...it just appears that way. I got in twubble the other for wanting to go out with hubby with a special photography project I had in mind. He asked...does the camera always have to come along. But seriously...we have only been out once this year with the camera...so think about it. The site or subject that is being used as the arguing point...might only be a cover for the real problem. That's what you need to look at...!
As someone said earlier...do you spend enough time with her? She might not want to photograph...but maybe she can be brought into your hobby in another form...maybe in front of the camera...maybe she is creative and can give you ideas for challenges...or understand technicalities of different topics.
Just food for thought.

| Start taking lots of pictures of her. It will be a way to include her in DPC and she can sit around and hover over the update button with you. |

| He used to roll his eyes at me but now I'm bringing in some cashola! :0) The other day he saw a check on my desk and said more money> I said yep- and there's a thank you note attached!!!! Ok, so now I've had one too many drinks but man, you can't beat that so good feeling like what you do actually means something. It's heaven! :0) |

| I've gotten in trouble for being on DPC too much. We had one of those serious conversations, so I gave it a rest for a few days and then started back up again. I've finally gotten my SO to start giving ideas for challenges instead of just rolling his eyes. Just make sure you're giving her enough undivided attention and maybe get her involved in a hobby of her own (whether its photo related or not). That way, when she's doing her thing, you can do yours. |
