Well, bro, I think she was doing a bit more than talking with them. Sorry but I'm new here so I don't know what you've said about this before. Most women don't stop playing games until they reach 26-28. She's probably making up for lost time.
No. She just decided that she liked talking to all her 20 year old, single with no kids, friends (She's 27 and has 2 kids) on Facebook, IM and texting more than she wanted to watch her own kids.
One night I woke up at 2:30 am and found my son playing the Wii in my room. I saw that it was 2:30 and went into the living room and found her on Facebook and texting. I proceeded to her out and ask why my 3 year old was playing the Wii and not asleep while she talks to her friends online.
The arguments continue to this day everytime she comes over. I discovered that one of the days she was watching the kids while I was at work, she was IMing someone. Because I can't trust her to ignore her friends (She left me because she wanted to go out with them, went to Seaworld with them instead of watching the kids one time when I couldn't get out of bed without throwing up, because it was her birthday [the week before it was not that day]) I told her that while she's here at my place she can't be on my computer.
If her online life is that important, she should bring her laptop but she can't use my computer. She gets mad saying I treat her like a child, but I respond if I could trust her to act like an adult, I wouldn't have to treat her like a child. I'm only a year older than her, but yet, the difference in mentality seems like almost a decade.
Anyway, that's enough of that. I've said too much on the subject matter anyway.

She's out of my home now, and since she's left, I've done some playing of my own, both with her and an old friend from high school, so it doesn't matter anymore.
I just don't want that stupid around my kids. They're priority #1 always.
Yeah. her. If she left you and her kids then she's a disgusting filthy . I'd wrap up the salami next time you have relations with her. Personally I'd toss that pussy as far as it can be thrown.
Eh, she knows how to please me in bed. Plus, my friend had just broken up with her boyfriend as well, so we were just straight ing, and she had a pregnancy scare from the ex (she was already late the first time we slept with each other) so I was cut off from my friend for a while.
We're supposed to take our kids (she has two as well) to the museum later on today. Hopefully sometime this week we can find some time to get together again.
As for my wife, all I know is, if she has another man, then she's definitely cheating on him with me, so who gives a . She's come after me the past few times and I'm making sure I get mine, so yeah.
Yeah, sounds like Facebook was really the root of your marital issues.
No, it wasn't. It was the straw that broke the camel's back. When my son was born, I became a full on parent. My wife wanted to be the person who could still go out. She started living vicariously through her immature friends and eventually wanted to act like them.
I had to keep reminding her that she could never be like them because she was 7 years older than them and had 2 kids to she was responsible for. She didn't want the responsibility, so now I have all the responsibility.
However, Facebook, Myspace and all the other sites encourage things like this. It's not the site's fault, but the site isn't helping matter either.
I prefer to live in the real world with human interaction while she was more concerned about the words on the computer screen or her phone.
Dont have a facebook, not interested in facebook, never will care about facebook.
Im sure it great for people who have friends and fanily spread out over large areas, but I dont.
But I find it...difficult to comprehend that events are now scheduled within Facebook and that if you arent connected, youre left out.
I dont find myself to be so interesting that my daily events need to be plastered on the internet for my "friends" to see. Nor do I care that much to know other people in the same way.
Facebook/Twitter/MySpace are all just venues for egocentrism and reinforcing the repressed narcissism of all people. I'd rather not wade into the spectrum of humanity that encourages people to assign an unrealistic and undeserved worth to themselves.
Sorry, but I can apply just about everything you guys say to the telephone. I agree completely that facebook can expose narcissism but so what? We've had plenty of ways narcissists could express themselves before facebook and we'll have more ways in the fufure.
Why are you suprised that you're left out if you're not using the form of communication being used? If you didn't have a phone would you expect people to come to your house to let you know what was going on? If you didn't have a mailing address would you be upset that you didn't get the invitation in the mail?
I don't even use my facebook account very often. I log in a couple of times a week and I update even less, but I do see its usefulness as a communication tool or a tool to stay in touch with others I otherwise would not stay in touch with.
Its a communication tool. Thats all social media is.
It can be a communication tool. But far too often it becomes an obsession. At work I see people on Facebook on their phones whenever they get a chance.
I use Twitter because it's a great way to break news in a very quick fashion. The first time I saw this in action was during the NBA trade deadline. It was amazing how fast trades were being reported. You'd see the trade on Twitter long before it showed on any sports site. Plus, sometimes I wake up in the morning, check Twitter and see some trending topic like "UT shooting" (example) and think, "Wonder what happened at UT?" only to check CNN.com and find the story.
A lot of people like to post mundane details on Twitter but a good majority of the people I follow are posting links to stories that interest them, or in my case, music that I don't see many people talking about that I really enjoy. I've come across some good stuff through other people's links on Twitter.
And then there's Uncle Rukus.
But I don't spend tons of time on Twitter either.
imo facebook was awesome until parents and grandparents started creating profiles.
"now stan, poke your grandma."
*warning*
Don't get "Words with Friends" as an iphone ap. It's addictive.
for instance, just the other day i had my step-grandma (rofl) send me a message onf facebook worrying about me promoting the abuse of cats. one of my friends had posted the video of some cat playing a piano.
an hour later i had my stepmom send me an email basically hinting that i was some closet sociopath because i promote abusing animals. wtf? gtfo of my business. none of them are my facebook friends anymore.
or facebook can be a venue to see what people, who you have no way of seeing or talking to on a regular basis, have to say. i'm not saying that that it isn't a venue for narcissism, but it isn't that for everybody.
i wouldn't neccessarily group facebook with twitter. twitter is the far more narcissistic site. there compulsive FB users (people who update their status every second, always have something [even if it's not at all interesting] to put on their wall), but there are all just as many, if not more, casual FB users, who go on one or twice a day to see what peole are up to.
You know what else does all of this? Facebook. You just took the step after facebook with Twitter because it is faster. You are actually ahead of the facebookers.
Basically I see value in a social networking site. I dont, however see the value in multiple social networking sites. I don't get why someone would like to have Facebook, Twitter, and Myspace. What's the point? They all pretty much do the same things (except all tweets now being saved in the Library of Congress).
Too late. I have two games going at the moment. My friend has beaten me like 7 times in a row, but I'm absolutely crushing him at the moment. My only real concern with that game is to see if I can break 400. I need about 30 something points and about 5 letters left so it's going to be close.
Facebook and Myspace have far too many distractions attached to them. I'd argue that Twitter is in fact not a step ahead, but a step back. It's bare bones. Here's a snippet of what I have to say. Here's a link. That is all.
When I had Myspace and before my son was born, I had videos, pictures and so much more on it. I was on it constantly. After my son was born, I saw what Myspace had become (and further, what Facebook was about to become) and I pulled back. At a time when you thought I'd actually be on Myspace more updating on my kids, adding pics and whatnot, I pulled back.
Like I said, Twitter for me is a way to find new things that I wouldn't have found on my own. Sometimes I'll post comments on what I'm thinking, but mostly I respond to people I follow or post links to things I like.
It's streamlined information. Here's a link and quick description. Check it out yourself. As for Facebook, people are talking about personal stuff on there, sharing way too much information and having no sense of decency. , my family found out my wife and I separated because she posted something like, "Big changes ahead" and changed her marital status. At first my family thought she was pregnant again but then saw the marital status thing.
They told me about it. How ed up is that? And there are websites dedicated to showing all of this stuff and how funny it is.
If someone wants to get a hold of me, they know my email. Or they have my number and can text. Text messages stay on my phone so I can respond when I want and vice versa. Our schedules tend to clash a lot, so phone conversations can be difficult to establish. A simple text is the best way to get a hold of me because of the business of my schedule, what with a 40 hour a week job and raising 2 kids under 4 on my own.
I got 410 a couple of days ago.
I once pulled a 90 point word out of my ass. I figured that was the game when I destroy him. He came back with a word easily over 100. ass.
It's frustrating as , and just a pain in the ass overall. And yet, I still can't stop playing it.
David Fincher really can do no wrong. Best picture of the year so far.
Did anyone else notice the "Tyler Durden" alias Zuckerberg uses in the movie when he makes that fake account? He was even looking through Tyler Durden photos.
I only saw it because a friend told me to watch out for it, but I thought it was a great little nod to Fight Club
I should have added that as a disclaimer. I fully realize not everyone is that way.
But, to me, the narcissists far outnumber the normal, non-ego driven individuals.
Or is that they are the vocal minority? Not sure, but I actually listen to a few people go back and forth about so-and-so being a FB bag and I just roll my eyes at the lot of them.

True.
Trust me when I say that the "..being left out" comment was more an observation than a reality, for me.Why are you suprised that you're left out if you're not using the form of communication being used? If you didn't have a phone would you expect people to come to your house to let you know what was going on? If you didn't have a mailing address would you be upset that you didn't get the invitation in the mail?
All true, its just a tool that I choose not to ever use or be apart of. I understand your reference to the telephone, but I disagree with it. Before the telephone was the telegram. I would say a more apt comparison was before facebook/myspace there was (and still is) email, a totally viable method of communication that doesnt broadcast how perfect and cool some people are.I don't even use my facebook account very often. I log in a couple of times a week and I update even less, but I do see its usefulness as a communication tool or a tool to stay in touch with others I otherwise would not stay in touch with.
Its a communication tool. Thats all social media is.
Most people on Facebook are the type of bags who send you family pictures on their Christmas cards with blurbs about how little Johnny is a straight A student and the star of his tee-ball team. I'd rather leave people to their unrealistic and totally fabricated fantasies about their life to one correspondence per year.
Again, it isnt everyone and you, Manny, dont particularly strike me as a person who acts in such a way, but you know the people I am talking about. I also understand its usefulness for people with family all over the world/country (like DLF) where you can still see numerous updates per year of family/friends. I do get it.
But none of that applies to me, therefore I dont use it.
