For as high def as the Vita is, it hasn't helped it gain marketshare or third party support one bit. Nintendo can do as it wants handheld wise, Sony screwed up it's chances twice there, Nintendo doesn't have anything to fear from them.

You love each other, and you've been together for four years. You should be able to talk about just about anything at this point. Use your words. Tell her how you feel (be careful to make it about how you feel, rather than something that she's doing wrong) and explain that you'd appreciate it - even find it an…

Let me put it this way: can you imagine life without her? Even when you're angry at her, would you rather be with her than with anyone else? Does she make you feel fulfilled, more positive, more alive when you're with her than when you're not? Do you feel like the two of you are a team, partners-in-crime, the ideal…

If you know your communication patterns, then let your partner know about them early on. "Hey, this is how I work" is a valuable conversation to have when you're still in the beginning stages - it helps avoid miscommunications and the dreaded "YOU DON'T KNOW ME AT ALL" fight.

And I've found the most useful way to…

Would you mind expanding on what might qualify as a reason to give an ultimatum and what is the best way to approach that? There are certain things I expect that I have found not all partners like to do, like go on vacation together, be a date to an event, or plan dates every once in a while (this is to some degree…

Thanks for the reply! It will kill me to not save on rent for awhile, but I agree an adjustment is important.

I hate to say it, but it sounds like you're starting to drift apart. This, sadly, can happen. Not every relationship is going to be for a lifetime. Not every love story is an epic poem; sometimes they're just a short story.

This doesn't mean that your relationship is a failure though - it was right for who you were…

Don't live with your boyfriend when he moves to your city. Let him establish his presence in your city and see how your relationship adjusts to the differences between the dynamics of an LDR and when the two of you don't have hundreds or thousands of miles between you.

Give it time - I'd say six months to a year, but…

"you know you'd rather be angry with them than happy with anyone else"

o noes this is totally me right now

I assume the lesson is that you will never interact with any of us again? Promise?

Other people have expressed it better in this thread, but it's not so much of a "challenge", it's just finding someone who isn't extremely passive. Finding someone who loves all the things you do is great, and in the opposites attract camp finding someone who you can bounce off of (as long as you're not just sat there…

@Posco Grubb: Unless the postage somehow came to be $87.75 instead of $5.75.... regardless of whether or not your host said they would cover the total cost of the postage is beside the point. Asking somebody who put you up for almost a month for the extra $1.75 is really tacky.

@mkozaqii: Never arrive empty-handed.

@zF23: But you TOLD him that you would reimburse him any amount above what you initially gave him! Why hold a grudge when he was just doing as he was told?

@spikenard: Good points. I would add:

I would add, be a gracious guest.

I'm so glad this is here. I would add:

Other tips for guests:

The most important tip for being a guest? Keep your stay SHORT. The longer you stay, the more of a hassle you're going to be even if you're the perfect guest. It depends on the situation, but I'd say anything more than a week is pushing your luck pretty hard.
