>and congratulate her for reaching day number X without a fight.

Maybe it's just worded wrong, but if this is serious, then I think I found the problem.

It takes two to tango.

If you're fighting that much with your girlfriend a better hack is knowing when to walk away. A relationship like that just isn't worth the energy, especially with work as demanding as ours.

You shouldn't have to reach into your bag of tricks until things get real, i.e. marriage + kids + money problems, etc.

What a presumptuous post. You're assuming OP doesn't have kids, or money problems or any other issue that would make it hard to walk away from just because he used the term girlfriend (rather than wife). With no information other than the word girlfriend, you made a series of assumptions and ended up implying OP's relationship wasn't 'real' cause it isn't a marriage.

Links to three of his social profiles are next to his post if you care to learn more about him.

I guess if my opinions don't apply he could choose to ignore them. But if they do apply, maybe it'll help him. I consider that worth it.

I respect your opinion. However, I'm the type of person that fuels from relationships. Regardless of the complications, the added motivation and state of mind in general I get is well worth the cost.

I don't see how computer science has a relation to this, as you imply.
