Question - (10 November 2009) 1 Answers - (Newest, 10 November 2009)
A male United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

My GF and I live together and spend each evening together, which is great. However, she has a boring office job and texts me and IMs me all day long, five or six times an hour. I work at home on my computer as a freelancer and HAVE to get work done or else I won't have a job. Also, I love my job.

When I tell her I can't be distracted, she gets mopey and sad. I understand that she doesn't like her job and it would be great if I could support us both, but that will never happen if I don't excel at what I'm doing right now.

Any advice on what to say to her or how to set up some rules without hurting her feelings?

Just tell her the truth. Tell her as much as you love hearing from her, it is very distracting and I am having trouble getting my work done. So please stop trying to contact me at work.
