After a few days of long hours, I (28HLM) genuinely asked how she (24LLF) was feeling. Immediately and without hesitation, I got the typical "exhausted" comment. Then she said (after considerable hesitation) "....we can have sex."

It felt disgusting. More of the obligatory, keep the peace, star-fish sex on the Menu. So I told her "no, I'm okay. I don't want the kind of sex you're offering. I want actual involved intimacy. Or we'll have extremely lazy sex tonight, you'll mentally tally it, and we'll go another 2 weeks without any kind of physical contact." "OR you're going to say 'we can have sex' and then you'll fall asleep on the couch and make no mention of it tomorrow or the next day"

"I'm sorry. I'll work on it." (as usual)

Me: "How are you going to do that?"

"I don't know, I'll work on it."

Cue toddler waking up.

This is incredibly frustrating given all of the recent circumstances plus I was an idiot in the past and just left this at "I'll work on it" without actually hearing her plan. (She doesn't have one.) I think she's just saying it to shut me up but any talk about sex doesn't go very far with a toddler in the room. And, she fell asleep. I hate being right.

We've "compromised" in the past. 3x/week was the goal. This meant 1 time early in the week (usually a quickie just for the tally), me getting irritated later in the week (Thursday, Friday) and her reminding me that "OMG we just had sex on Monday!" So it usually turned into 1, maybe 2x per week if I'm LUCKY. She followed thru maybe twice on this in 6 months otherwise it's business as usual.

Last week: Thursday - work event until 9PM "too tired to keep my eyes open" Friday - "I'm exhausted" Saturday - "We can do it in the hotel tonight." Key word here was CAN. (Exhausted again) Sunday - "We can have a quickie tonight, but I'd rather have good sex on Monday" Monday - woke up to a note saying "I have a deadline for Thursday, so I'll probably be at work late." Anything over 8 hours is a definite no-go in the bedroom. Needless to say we did not have the good sex I was excited for on Monday night. She knew about the deadline before the weekend.

So here I am, more than a week from the first glimmer of hope in 3+ weeks.

Not sure what I'm looking for. Maybe just ranting tonight.

lol how does someone type all this and not realize that their sexual relationship is over and never going to come back

any questions? yeah. didn't think so. idiot

If you review the evidence, you will find that Windows 8.1 on the Tablet is supreme.

windows 10 was a little shaky in the beta but at this point it's cock solid and i have no ragrets about using it instead of windows 7. you gotta turn off cortana and poo poo but lol if you've ever kept a computer configured the way it was from the factory. like a child

windows 8 and 8.1 were bad.

this.

at a minimum delete the shity live tiles and collapse the start menu down to a non-comedy size.

now have 10 running boot camped on both my MacBooks and on both of my mac pros as well as on my shity acer home theater pc. I also upgraded my folks' desktop pic as a whim. they both primarily use their iPads though, and probably haven't noticed the change. I think they only use that fuckin thing when they need to print something.

my 'games' machine still has xp on it. idgaf about it, haven't switched it on in months. it's an old Dell P4 crapcan, prolly won't run 10 anyway

not switching any of the work PCs because gently caress doing all that work just some can spend time and resources retraining end users just to get them back up to the level of productivity that they have with win 7

that was p funny how microsoft forgot to make a desktop version for their tablet os, windows 8/8.1, and responded to that by forgetting to make a tablet version of their desktop os, windows 10



windows 10 owns but i only got around to installing it on my desktop like a week ago (had it on my laptop for a few months longer). i wasn't even getting nag messages about it though because it turns out i hadn't even installed any windows updates for like a year or something :nyoron: yospos bithc

(back in the windows xp days it had this cool setting where instead of updating automatically it could notify you so you could have it install them when you were ready with a single mouse click. windows 8 had an equivalent option except instead of actually notifying you it would just hide a message in a place where you'd never see it then force you to go through a dozen menus to actually install them :shobon:)

fairly even? i normally use the keyboard for post post posting but detach it for anything im just watching/reading. even as just a laptop its got incredible battery life, and it charges from micro usb / 5v chargers. even if you never detached it, i'd recommend it as a ultralight laptop.

Another coolcopy paste feature of Windows 10 is how it copies everything you type and pastes it to a Microsoft server.
