New relationship

Robisere

This is how my wife and I use London for a break:

We stay at the Glenlyn - http://www.glenlynhotel.com/
If by car, it's straight off the A1 and down through High Barnet.
Just down the road from the Glenlyn is Woodside Tube, on the Nortern Line. https://tfl.gov.uk/hub/stop/940GZZLUWOP/woodside-park-underground-station/
Although there was disruption this week, it will be over by the time you go. It goes direct to Waterloo & central London. The Glenlyn has really good meals, although if you just want B&B, breakfast is buffet and you can eat as much as you like. There is a Sainsburys across the road, lots of good restaurants nearby and LT buses run 24/7. It is the cheapest way to see central London: use the Northern Line to go there, and return to the Glenlyn for a good night's sleep. You can also use the LT bus up toHigh Barnet, which is a very nice area with shops and restaurants.

Really hope you enjoy your selves and have a sound, lasting relationship. Have a good time!

So someone here tells me I am apparently a bad girlfriend!

Can someone tell me if I am wrong here?

According to this person, because I don't e-mail my boyfriend constantly (because he has a job to do and so do I) and we only talk at work if we have to (During work time) We text before work and chat after work, (Sometimes on our break/dinner if we can). This means I am not dedicated to him. My argument is that we do talk but if either of us are in a meeting then we don't want to be disturbed or if my boyfriend is fixing something he doesn't want disturbing. plus it gives us more things to talk about .

Apparently I'm wrong.

Just as many, most likely more, people would think you're a bad girlfriend if you were constantly emailing/texting him throughout the day. There's not really any right or wrong, and it's nobody's place to comment on how 'good' or not a girlfriend you are, as long as you're both happy with the amount of contact there is then all's good.

Why do you care what they think?

That sounds very "playground politics" to me...

Thats what its like here, when they spout their opinion as gospel.This person also made me feel rubbish about that I might not be a good girlfriend

I've not heard anything bad from my boyfriend, it gives us a lot more to talk about than just "you ok?" "yeah you?" "Ok then"

I guess you won't be dumping your boyfriend in order to date the poster ? I was once told that I was putting too much horseradish sauce on a corned beef sandwich I was making. "Very sorry", I replied, "To make up for my mistake, I won't make you eat it".

Years before mobile phones, a friend of mine had to work away for a year ; so he wrote to his girlfriend every day. When he got back, she'd married the postman.

I know, it just annoys me that people think because of what they read in cosmo or hello that is gospel, Like today according their logic when I was in meetings I should have been texting. I just don't understand it why some people need to constantly text their partner. Admittedly I felt a bit stressed and I text him and he rang me back,

They also said that I should have skipped work to go see him in another company office he is working in! Logic of these people!

I agre Geoff, I just don't get why they feel the need to tell me they are right

Perhaps you should find a particular piece of advice, thank the poster, and tell them that you are going to follow it to the letter. Then a week later, you post that you've been dumped for doing it. That might get them off your back, and everyone else's.

When Micheal Caine was up for an Oscar, his agent apparently told him, "Don't make a long rambling speech, just say 'Thank you'; and sit down again, that would be really good." Sir Michael agreed that he might.
On Oscar night, Sir Michael won, and made the usual "thanking everyone" speech.
When his agent quizzed him, Sir Micheal said, "When you win an Oscar, you can make whatever speech you like".

When it comes to relationship advice, I know I'm likely to do more harm than good.
Google : "why men shouldn't write advice columns"
Not that I don't enjoy seeing others being successful.

So I've booked the Hotel (Completely using points now!) and the train tickets first class return have set me back £100 all together, My boyfriend has the Oystercards and paid for us to go to Harry Potter tour after I said I'd like to go.

I got a 2-4-1 book and had a look on here.

I'm quite excited. He also told me that I am not to worry about making things about me and he will eat where is suitable for me as he cares that I'm happy and healthy
