Man wonders if he is a worthy rival to his GF's phone
So, we've given your friend a generous pass concerning her children.
Now, why is she playing Candy Crush at the dinner table? Does she offer a reason or excuse when she does this?
Do you confront her about her intolerable rudeness? And if not -- why not?
You are a fellow adult. You have feelings. You don't like being ignored, discounted and then told that your feelings are less important than her online gaming, or that you are "old-fashioned" because you don't like being ignored.
Frankly, she doesn't seem that into you. If she was, she would be paying more attention to you when she was physically with you.
Enjoy this relationship for what it is, while it lasts. But I hope that ultimately you will choose to be with someone who makes you feel wanted, important and worth it.
Dear Amy: This seems petty, and it's a little embarrassing, but every afternoon I go to my public library to pick out books, do a little work and just in general enjoy the atmosphere. This library is lovely and historic. I've been visiting it my entire life.
Lately there is a group of children who come to the library after school (and sometimes on weekends, too). They seem like nice enough kids, but they are given access to a (monitored) computer, and they play a game that has verbal prompts and various noises.
Amy, it is like nails on a blackboard. I literally cannot stand it.
I don't want to discourage these kids from coming to the library, but is there anything I can do?
