Get her a hobby. My lady wants to write, so when i feel like doin' a beat she starts writing her book.
If that fails, have her organize your studio or do some business sh!t for you.
Keep her busy and keep her working. Can't afford a business manager or accountant for your music career?? --- she ain't doing anything.... you just got an administrative assistant with perks!!!

I think it's true that without the support of your spouse you can't have a music career. There's just too much risk and sacrifice involved for someone to be dragged through unwillingly.
So a word of advice to the unwed:
If you don't think you can give up music, make sure your significant other understands this fully and has verbally agreed to accept and support it before getting married. Otherwise, plan on giving up music or just doing it as a very occasional hobby.
Peace,
LC

LOL...
I haven't been Home (L.A.) SInce December, but this Reminds me of those (I Think its Guitar Center Ads, I don't Watch Much TV, so I Might Be Wrong) but, I think FumblingO.E. knows what I'm talking About.
They have these Ads on TV, usually When there is a Sale. Now I don't Remember them to well, but I do Remember they are funny. It shows like some chick at the end of the Commercial Crying, and on the Phone Trying to Get Hold of her BoyFriend/Husband...Whatever, and shes all upset. Then it says SomeThing About Being In Relationships with Musicians...lol, You Have to See It.
I wish I can Remember them Better, but I'm Sure that if You Guys Seen'em You Would Crack Up!
They are Really Funny.
Anyway, Nuff Rambling, just a Memory That Popped in My Head...

Heh thats prolly the best solution I guess yeah, would be nice to find that typa girl. My ex was really into the music I played and she supported me all the way, just a pitty we didn't get along in the long run 
Btw humanist, thought I'd tell you before mano1 does; you should shrink that signature pic down to ~60px height, to make life a bit easier on dialup users.

Did it ever occur to you that there are females in the same situation? The way that my boyfriend and I deal with it is by setting time apart for each other. We do our own thing then get together for dinner and then go back to doing our own thing.

Then Start a Thread Called "BoyFriend Training". WIth All Due Respect, but This is the "GirlFriend Training" Thread. Its a bit like posting about talking about "EQing", in a "Recording Vocals" Thread.

I can't believe I found this thread so late. Dude, seriously, i just dumped my girlfriend so i could have more time to myself. I really have no problem getting laid, so I see no reason for a girlfriend. I'm one of these emotionally unavailable types.
Where does it say that we have to grow up and get girlfriends/wives. It's an archaic concept if you think about it. back in the day, a man needed a woman to raise kids and take care of him, and a woman needed a man for financial and emotional support. There is a certain bond formed when you come to rely on someone. Now a days, no one needs anyone anymore so this bond isn't formed, hence the high divorce rates. I predict marriage will be extinct in about 200 years. Save yourselves headaches and half of your assets. Don't get married. You know all that cool music equipment in your studios. Chances are she's entitled to half.

What if half of it is hers anyway????
If the relationship you had with your girl was based on the concept you described no wonder u and ur girl are no longer together. Having a relationship with someone just for emotional and/or financial support or for someone to rely on is indeed archaic and went out with the powers of the midievil church.
Everybody needs somebody but not to rely on but to help us with the other side of our sexuality and growth. If you have met someone or live with someone who is your "other half" then you wont last. You should know yourself as a whole person before moving into a relationship with someone otherwise you will end up in the obligatory power struggle which does indeed end up in the big D word. 2 people need to be 2 whole people before they can attemt to move on and grow together especially spiritually.

You Both Have Good Points. I see both Sides of it. I Can See how in 200 Hundred Years (probably Less) that Marriage would be near Obsolete. I think that this is due to more then just what FoE said. I think it has more to do with where technology is going. I think that we will all be wired through the Net, and Virtual Reality, so that there will be no reason to Interact "Physically" with hardly anybody.
On the Flip Side. Being Human we desire, Friendship, Companionship, and Attention. Most of this you can't get when You are Alone.(most of us at least).
Even the Casual "One Nite Stand" could be Gone. It might be Kinda "Eeeew" in the Future. LIke in that Stallone Movie (forgot what its Called).
You Never Know...Should be interesting Though!

I find this very interesting indeed.
I think that technology is the one outstanding factor that is slowing down the evolution of the human race, it is technology that has caused us to forget what we really are and has caused our minds(and bodies to a certain extent) to lose track of the truth.
We are part of the macrocosm which is a never ending source of energy and knowledge which is far superior to anything we as the human race shall ever accomplish.
Technology has taught us to forget about this and try to find this knowledge by conquering and abusing our planet and ultimately destroying ourself.
Surely as sentient beings our goal should be to evolve to the point of pure energy, which is after all what we are.

No, it wasn't based on the concept I described. I don't need someone to take care of me. I was merely stating that this was the situation as short as 50 years ago. I'm not saying I condone this. In fact I'm diametrically opposed to this.

I know myself well enough that I'm too selfish to enter into a relationship. I disagree with you regarding your statements about sexuality and growth. Relationships I believe tend to retard growth. They make one cozy and complaicent(sp). Real growth occurs through struggle, and I tend only to take on struggle when I'm single. I don't like sharing or coordinating my life with someone else. It slows me down. I've known this for years and still I'm stupid enough to get into relationships regardless of the countless warnings I give my partner about the way I am. They never F*&king listen.
You may think to yourself that I'm a pathetic coldhearted individual for thinking the way I do, but I say people in general are brainwashed into believing that they need to share their life with someone else and produce offspring. I plan on having many partners through out the span of my life. I don't see why I should limit myself to one. Of course my mindset does come with it's problems. I'm often left in a state of self inflicted torture trying to decifer the meaning and purpose of this universe and this planet. Kids, wives, TV, religion, and especially music provide a purpose, as well as a convienient distraction from this question which should be on the forefront of everyones mind. If you want to know why I write music, it's to distract me from this question so I can be somewhat happy. That's why I used to love ecstasy. I temporarily found the answers to life in pills.
