I don't understand why Gab couldn't get a job. Get out of the house and serve little European people tea and coffee and stuff and make yourself 10 bucks to go see a movie with. She can't admit to her own faults and blames Rob for everything she's unhappy about. That make me sad because Rob is kind and diplomatic, passionate and creative. If you want $ and stability in your everyday schedule, than marry a business man and save the artists for those who can love them.
She's asking you to pay attention to her. If you don't feel you can then you'd better just let her go because if you really do care she'd be top of your list of priorities.
Come on, what is this nonsense. This isn't why I watch these blogs. Rob are you really as pathetic as you appear or are you just trying to inject some emotion into this crap? It isn't working, it's dull, this started off as a a series of blogs of you making a film. What's it become? As for explaining why you're in a mood, don't be ridiculous! Give us some credit... we know things are tough for you and G, we've known for about 20 blogs. I want to see some filming!
That was kinda hard for me to watch... I hate when two people fight like that... I really hope this movie will be great! Even tho I have never met you I feel you are a good friend that I can watch on youtube overcoming all obstacles. You are great! And I wish you joy!
How long is this film supposed to be? I understand that you are doing this all on your own while doing other jobs, but I don't understand why it's been taking so long. But I trust that the final product will be worth everything you put into it and more. DON'T GIVE UP, that goes for Gab too.
Stay in it mate, filming is a tough game, I admire your perserverance, but I would be careful of the home life. As always with these endeavours, they reach a low point where everything seems impossible before the massive crescendo to the finish. Can't say I know the whole story line of the film, but maybe your character makes a miraculous discovery of lather soap and discarded razors in the post-apocalyptic world? That'd be a boffo scene. Anyway, bests in the coming weeks.
Great that there were notes with the blog or it mght look like things were never going to go well. Great attitude towards your blogs many others would just edit them out to make themselves look better.
Looking at this video it looks like a classic case of "I gotta get this done now at all costs" actually mate you are not under that pressure at all. Take a bloody holiday then come back to it because if you carry on at this rate both the film and your relationship is only going to go one way .... Down. Be realistic.
As you said yourself Rob, chin up and keep going, Im glad youre showing us these blogs because it definitely makes the journey a lot more personal. Looking forward to the next one, and of course the finished article Good luck!
Has anyone ever told you it would not be worth it to finish? It will be, but i know that im not u and i dont know u, but take care of gabby. i just feel bad i know she loves u and u love her but take her out and stuff. U are both doing great tho.
just wached video 42, thought id post here in case you dont check old ones, chaucer44 has a really good point, it didnt look post-apogaliptic at all, quite like that bloody pristeen bear that has been bugging me since the begining! :p
forget this drama, do what you set out to do, then.. maybe, you can question why you did it and learn from all of this Bee-Ess.. ay? why leave a job half complete.. there could be a lot to learn from this, mainly that.. its your life and OTHER people have their own.. i dont think anybody should really compromise, merely just.. live in a form of symbiosis.. and THAT is up to everyone to make happen on their own, for themselvs.. BOOM!
life isnt all about work u need to chill with the film and talk it through because even tho she wants u to get over with it and finish and shave if u just do that you 2 will just come apart from eachother give her something back aswell let her b free i dunno life is hard
Stay strong guys. If it was easy everyone would do it and you wouldn't grow from the experiences.
Hopefully once it is completed you will be able to look back and take in what you have accomplished. This film is a great idea, and Gabby you are amazing for going on this Journey with Rob.
Good luck to both of you for the remainder of the project and if the formal Blogs you were doing are getting too much then just a short piece to camera would be fine :)
Thanks to you both for not forgetting us, even though we are the least important at times. Look forward to the movie, and what I a story behind the movie. You never know it may well be remembered for trails and tribulations that came from the making of the movie (DVD Bonus Extra - lol).
Take care of yourselves, hopefully in a few years when looking back, this will prove to be the making of you both..!!
I'm curious to see whether the story of Gabby and Rob that we're being told is true or not. it seems like either its totally fake, or its actually happening, but we're being shown a real story in a professional, well edited fashion.
Alastair1112 - A lot of people are asking that! I can say that it is real - but I know you're not going to fully believe me because it's me that said it! So let me put it like this... This blog occured shortly before I vanished for months. Maybe it will make sense of why I stopped posting? And if this was a scripted story with a LG15 background - why would I have stopped posting loosing over half of my viewers?
I put it to you that I couldn't continue for genuine emotional reasons.. :-)
i don't think there's much else i can say, other than a cliche. good luck, and i hope all turns out for the best with both, the movie and the relationship.
I work everyday doing things from still image work to video editing, not for a job but, for reaching my own goals. I'm used to having my thoughts and concepts shot down and used against me. it really adds an overbearing weight to an already stressful struggle.
It's enough to have your confidants out-casting you but to add the effect of working on your own, brother, i wish that upon no one!
Rob, your efforts are not going un-noticed. I too can say that I am anticipating this movie as well! I see a lot of drive in you and know you can pull through this.
Remember the over hanging tree? you faced that fear, now on to the next one!
All i can say rob is this, relationships always turn into a Division. Sooner or later someone will begin picking the scabs of selfishness. with gab, she is seeing it as you are all about you and she is just along for the ride.
you, you see it as progressing on a goal that you've already put your heart and soul into. The time you spend finishing work or taking on a new project is time she thinks should be spent with her or on making her happy.....
Hang in there mate! maybe take 48 hours total break and clear your heads... set out you top priorities, make whatever changes are needed to improve things and refocus on the end goal, then get back into it and crack on! dont give up!
Critisising and showing up who you care about, was not really the most constructive idea...? That won't fix it, will it? I know theres problems on both sides, but that was not a step in the right direction.
Ive been watcing these since the beginning and I wish you all the best in your film, but more importantly I hope you sit down, and realise your priorities.
i really like your work, and i dont know how to help you with this problem, im sorry for your conflicts, i just wish you luck in this and wish you to finish your movie:)
we love you rob we believe in you man...let them tears flow cause pain only brings growth and wisdom!! you have done nothing wrong...do not blame your self for any of this!!
you follow your dreams...dont you dare give up! a million mile journey takes only a few steps to begin and your half way there.. so dont you dare stop now!
bless you..know your efforts do not go unnoticed sir! we truly do love and respect you, your movie is the most anticipated film of my 29 years on this planet!
man....im pretty angry right now so im going to be as nice as i can!! rob we all have see how tuff things are getting for you...but it seems you get zero support, zero help! not with your movie just with LIFE! gabbie should be there to give you a shoulder to lean on to make you feel like your succeeding! not to cut you down and treat you like a door mat every time she feels inadequate!
she was all about this in the beginning...she had it preplanned in her head what it was going to be like and when it didnt go the way she had figured it would...she got bitter! you deserve so much better brother, your an amazing man who truley motivates others with t he same drive you have! no one said being the first to do something was going to be easy...but god damn gabbie lighten up on the man youll never find anyone else out there like him! why didnt you clean his room? HELP HIM!!!!!
its just a shame a group of strangers LOVE rob more than you do and your around him everyday gabbie!! he need re insurance, he needs support and love...not disrespect and mocking him for his efforts! take some of the weight off...YOU clean his room, You do Something Anything to help, cause i havent seen hardly any of that from you!!
he has an incredible drive and the will to succeed! the man is a visionary attempting something no other human being has done!! and this is how you treat him? WTF
tbh i think gabbie has been a great GF for rob, and has commited quite a lot. well better than any one from the random "group of strangers" would be able to cope with any way. Rob has done great- but so has Gabbie, they are like one team, who have worked together on this project...
i totally disagree, but your entitled to your opinion. i dont see hardly any team work and these "strangers" are the ones keep this man going in case you havent noticed!! see, i have a wife with three kids and i own my own production company...so i know what support from your wife or girls friend is... what she gives him is not support!! its discouragement and strife...but like i said...you have your opinion and i have mine!
but i think its a whole different story, giving support behind a keyboard, without having to commit is a lot easier than having to actually commit day in day out.... look at some of the earlier blogs, surely rob wouldn't have got so far without gabbi?... more recently i must admit gabbi hasnt been as supportive as she used to be, but it's just a low point (which would get better)- dont forget theyve been at this project for a LONG WHILE now....
yea i think i know how long they been at it! your behind a keyboard as well dont forget so why should your opinion be any different than mine! it an opinion, but you clearly didnt start watching these videos because of Gabbie i would hope...its about rob and his dream and when i see her shitting on him and recording it for everyone to see exaggerating everything and whining when shes under no pressure what so ever besides spousal problems! she says im living off of rob and goes on mock him??
hey squee152 FUCK YOU ASS HOLE!! "wouldn't be surprised?" why you think hes as weak as you are...well you fuckin wrong! i consider this man a friend and some one i can relate to!! take your snidely little comments else where!
shows your ignorance, because when he RETURNED to youtube...he had no beard and was apologizing for not being here...these blogs are actually OLD not recent!
everyone give this cunt a thumbs down so no one can see his BS comment!
Rob, the call is yours, but I've read through pages of these comments and we love watching your blogs and keeping up with your movie. We're all really excited for it and whether you continue making these blogs or not, I will continue to wait patiently for this film. Best of luck, no matter which path you choose to go down.
I find it very brave of you that you let us look into your personal life like this. When I watched the first blog way back I thought it was just going to be some documentary-style thing. I totally did not expect situations like this (and I'm sure you nor Gabi hadn't either). I do wonder how this journey will turn out, but I have confidence that it'll be ok in the end. You didn't look as depressed in blog #39 anyway, so fingers crossed on my part. :)
Moan, Moan Moan - i've got to live off my boyfriend i don't have to do anything, i do these temping jobs they never last.. tell her to stop moaning, that was my girlfriend that said that.
I don't get it, she knows you edit that footage, so why does she talk about you only in the third person. I assume she says these things to your face too?
Give us an indication - how far through the film are you, how many scenes left?
End of the day. Film making is not the world. You don't have to pursue it. You have the power to just draw a line and stop. Take heart from that control!
wow. I feel you, man. When the two loves of your life conflict, it gets messy. I really hope things work out for you guys. I don't quite understand what Gabby is putting on hold for you. It doesn't sound like she has big dreams that she isn't fulfilling. However, if you ditched this movie for her, you'd regret it your whole life.
Dude, stop moping about! No one wants to see this ingenuine, arguments-about film-cause-relationship-breakdown, this-is-so-hard-on-me bollocks. The Lord of the Rings and Apocalypse Now were made quicker than this! COMBINED!
Actually Geoff Searle's made a feature film by himself. Look him up. Anyway I get your point, I'm just tired of all this "it's a strain on our relationship" crap. These blogs have lost their direction and point.
no one has forced you to watch them...go watch something pointless and meaningless like fred of shane dawson!!
i love these blogs it truly shows how much a human can endure when following their dreams! i believe you missed the point of all this man! and "Searle" did have lots of help.... maybe you should do some more research before making such statements.
Rob, these video blogs are just incredible. I'm really busy doing editing work myself, but I'm tempted to go back and watch them all in order from the beginning. The dynamic of your relationship is a powerful story in and of itself. I hope that you're able to finish the project soon, edit the movie, have a fantastic run in the festival circuit and that you guys can happily share in that. Also, I'm thinking maybe "the character" should have been in a wig from the very beginning...
you've got what you've got it's "caught on tape," you will ahyve it later. if you need to take some time, as long as you need, you can still finish it later, not quit, just postpone. looks like you need to figure some stuff out. we'll still be here and i'm fucking certain i'm seeing the movie when and if you do release it. man, do what you need to do.
You've put a lot of effort, Money and Time into this movie, it would be pointless to give up now.
Instead of her complaining about being supported financially (buying food and what not) why doesn't she get a job?
I think you should keep going! It is better to keep going and finish then get your life sorted, than stopping then having to start again and go through the same problems.
You can do it! You don't look bad,you look greater than I could ever look,fuck. It doesn't matter how much you've worked,you'll always have used nothing of your strength, but you also have to relax but don't do it too often or you'll end up giving it up.
there are billion of others that will make a better match a different point in you life
plus if you stop because of her then you will resent her and that is no a recipe for a healthy relationship and the result will be even worse in the future.
Man, you could announce you're not going to make the film right now, yeah we'd be dissapointed, but i think we would all give a sigh of relief that everythings good with gabby
Rob, you have made a really great effort making this movie, but your girlfriend is more important than this movie. You have to talk to each other, and the way to do that is not with video blogs..
Rob, maybe it's time for a break? I know this film is super important to you, but Gabby obviously is hurting, and you as well. Take some time to rest up, then come back. I would be really sad to see something happen between you and Gabby because of the film. It's a clash of priorities.
I can understand the emotional difficulty involved, however, Gabbysaid previously she wantedhim to hurryup and finish the film,and now shes upset hesalways working on it.She doesnt like taking money from him cos itslike beingback in brazil yet shecontinues to take money andbe dependent. If she wantsto be independent then she needs to work for herself:P
As for the movie maker, finish the movie as fast and best u can so u get back on track with ur relationship again, i.e. cutting the beard :)
Only untill recently, I never thought of your beard as being nasty or ugly. I loved it. But with an unhappy face underneath it, it appears lessdesireable. I do hope that you have a better time now, after seeing you in the blog: "From the static."
Why don't you take a few weeks or even a month off the project? If you're running low on motivation sometimes that's the best thing to do. Spend some more time with Gabi, get all those practical things sorted out and come back revitalized with new-found inspiration and motivation. Thats what I did on a recent project. I was afraid I'd never get back into the groove of things it if I stopped, but I was able to and once I did my excitement for the project had been rekindled. Middle bump is worst.
either these are the blogs, documenting the making of a movie...all genuine...if thats the case, these blogs are coming across as unnessecarily exploitative now, stop airing your personal laundry and get back to what the blogs were intended for, the making of the movie, otherwise you have us viewing you like a car crash...too horrible to watch, yet too fascinating to look away, and youre the guy in the edit suite after all
OR...theory 2...which seems stronger to me, and something I mentioned in the last blog entry....this is feeling more and more like a movie...again, not meaning to be hurtful if its all genuine, but if its a film, its getting painful to watch and your characters are acting in a cliched way...whatever theory....resolve this...move forward...finish the project...its beginning to feel like a lonelygirl15 project
Also, whenever you have a break, or just walk through the mess around the house, just pick things up a little at a time and eventually it will get cleaned up. If you have a big segment of time get a big area done!
How much is left of filming for the film? It seems to me you should get all the filming done so you can get a haircut and shave! Like the others said talk things out, make a definite plan that you both can agree on. During this blog both of you are unsatisfied. Gabi should get a part time job while Rob does those other film commissions. Sometimes the thing for relationships to help get better is breathing room. Good luck guys! we have faith in you to work things out!
True to your project, you let us share the life of the LoneFilmMaker. And as in many films, the blur between reality and fiction keeps up the suspense. I expected at some of the more cheesy moments of this post Gabi to walk through the scene and greet us with a wide grin.
From one filmmaker to another, you're really acting like a spoiled selfish prick.. No movie in the world is worth losing a girl for especially since she's devoted her last year to your little project. This is was a disgusting video Rob, setting up Gabi like that and just nagging. Hopping the future videos get better! Peace
I understand it's his vision, but like it or not, Thelonefilmaker isn't alone in his journey to realize his movie. For the whole weakness and mistakes, that would've worked had he not said anything when she was speaking about him.. Just seeing Rob looking at her video in silence would've suffice!
its really sad to watch these blogs. rob, don't act like your little obsession with your film and your stress are not uncontrollable. leave them aside at least for a while, groom yourself, clean up your apt and treat gabi for a perfect night out. she seems like an amazing woman with enourmous patience and she deserves it. remember that most women would have left you on the skids with your film project and all going on. shes not gonna hang around for long if you blame her and your work
Talk to each other,no cameras,just talk.Life can get pretty hard for everybody and defenetly relationships!Only one cure,talking!Good luck with postproduction and there's always tomorrow!
Life is hard when one person feels dependent of the other in a relationship. I think you both need to sit down and talk, but talk with only one rule: No reproaches. Just say what you have and what you need.
Relationships are based on common interests and compromises. On both sides.
Also, I don't know if she already have one, but I think Gabi needs a job or a hobby. Preferably something that will take her out of the house a few hours a week.
Chin up. Goodluck Rob. If you feel Gabi needs you, you should put down the project and return to it at a later date. Take a break. You can't run yourself into the ground. Gabi loves you too much to watch that happen.
I see how hard it must be but you have to hang on. dropping it could help slightly but if you are able to get to an end, you'll probably have enough energy to sort things out.
hold on! that what doesn´t kill you makes you stronger =) i know this is not how you are currently doing but still... i'm very curious how thing are now between you and gabi..
We don't know what goes behind closed doors, despite what we see in the blogs, however, Rob it seems like you and Gabi may need to sit down and just talk out everything.
It's horrible seeing you guys arguing all the time now. Maybe Gabi would be happier if she got a job. She mentioned the fact that she misses it. Maybe she should just go out and get one....
Not scripted. If it was a LG15 the updates would be regular and the hype carefully managed. I am however a documentary filmmaker so understand structure and narrative - hence the videos may come across well conceived.
I don't understand why Gab couldn't get a job. Get out of the house and serve little European people tea and coffee and stuff and make yourself 10 bucks to go see a movie with. She can't admit to her own faults and blames Rob for everything she's unhappy about. That make me sad because Rob is kind and diplomatic, passionate and creative. If you want $ and stability in your everyday schedule, than marry a business man and save the artists for those who can love them.

Critisising and showing up who you care about, was not really the most constructive idea...? That won't fix it, will it? I know theres problems on both sides, but that was not a step in the right direction.
Ive been watcing these since the beginning and I wish you all the best in your film, but more importantly I hope you sit down, and realise your priorities.

you follow your dreams...dont you dare give up! a million mile journey takes only a few steps to begin and your half way there.. so dont you dare stop now!
bless you..know your efforts do not go unnoticed sir! we truly do love and respect you, your movie is the most anticipated film of my 29 years on this planet!

AbstraktTV09 2 years ago
man....im pretty angry right now so im going to be as nice as i can!! rob we all have see how tuff things are getting for you...but it seems you get zero support, zero help! not with your movie just with LIFE! gabbie should be there to give you a shoulder to lean on to make you feel like your succeeding! not to cut you down and treat you like a door mat every time she feels inadequate!
AbstraktTV09 2 years ago
she was all about this in the beginning...she had it preplanned in her head what it was going to be like and when it didnt go the way she had figured it would...she got bitter! you deserve so much better brother, your an amazing man who truley motivates others with t he same drive you have! no one said being the first to do something was going to be easy...but god damn gabbie lighten up on the man youll never find anyone else out there like him! why didnt you clean his room? HELP HIM!!!!!
AbstraktTV09 2 years ago
its just a shame a group of strangers LOVE rob more than you do and your around him everyday gabbie!! he need re insurance, he needs support and love...not disrespect and mocking him for his efforts! take some of the weight off...YOU clean his room, You do Something Anything to help, cause i havent seen hardly any of that from you!!
he has an incredible drive and the will to succeed! the man is a visionary attempting something no other human being has done!! and this is how you treat him? WTF
AbstraktTV09 2 years ago
tbh i think gabbie has been a great GF for rob, and has commited quite a lot. well better than any one from the random "group of strangers" would be able to cope with any way. Rob has done great- but so has Gabbie, they are like one team, who have worked together on this project...
raeeees 2 years ago
i totally disagree, but your entitled to your opinion. i dont see hardly any team work and these "strangers" are the ones keep this man going in case you havent noticed!! see, i have a wife with three kids and i own my own production company...so i know what support from your wife or girls friend is... what she gives him is not support!! its discouragement and strife...but like i said...you have your opinion and i have mine!
AbstraktTV09 2 years ago
but i think its a whole different story, giving support behind a keyboard, without having to commit is a lot easier than having to actually commit day in day out.... look at some of the earlier blogs, surely rob wouldn't have got so far without gabbi?... more recently i must admit gabbi hasnt been as supportive as she used to be, but it's just a low point (which would get better)- dont forget theyve been at this project for a LONG WHILE now....
raeeees 2 years ago
yea i think i know how long they been at it! your behind a keyboard as well dont forget so why should your opinion be any different than mine! it an opinion, but you clearly didnt start watching these videos because of Gabbie i would hope...its about rob and his dream and when i see her shitting on him and recording it for everyone to see exaggerating everything and whining when shes under no pressure what so ever besides spousal problems! she says im living off of rob and goes on mock him??

I find it very brave of you that you let us look into your personal life like this. When I watched the first blog way back I thought it was just going to be some documentary-style thing. I totally did not expect situations like this (and I'm sure you nor Gabi hadn't either). I do wonder how this journey will turn out, but I have confidence that it'll be ok in the end. You didn't look as depressed in blog #39 anyway, so fingers crossed on my part. :)

I don't get it, she knows you edit that footage, so why does she talk about you only in the third person. I assume she says these things to your face too?
Give us an indication - how far through the film are you, how many scenes left?
End of the day. Film making is not the world. You don't have to pursue it. You have the power to just draw a line and stop. Take heart from that control!

It doesn't sound like she has big dreams that she isn't fulfilling. However, if you ditched this movie for her, you'd regret it your whole life.

Rob, these video blogs are just incredible. I'm really busy doing editing work myself, but I'm tempted to go back and watch them all in order from the beginning. The dynamic of your relationship is a powerful story in and of itself. I hope that you're able to finish the project soon, edit the movie, have a fantastic run in the festival circuit and that you guys can happily share in that. Also, I'm thinking maybe "the character" should have been in a wig from the very beginning...

You've put a lot of effort, Money and Time into this movie, it would be pointless to give up now.
Instead of her complaining about being supported financially (buying food and what not) why doesn't she get a job?
I think you should keep going! It is better to keep going and finish then get your life sorted, than stopping then having to start again and go through the same problems.

If she wantsto be independent then she needs to work for herself:P
As for the movie maker, finish the movie as fast and best u can so u get back on track with ur relationship again, i.e. cutting the beard :)

Why don't you take a few weeks or even a month off the project? If you're running low on motivation sometimes that's the best thing to do. Spend some more time with Gabi, get all those practical things sorted out and come back revitalized with new-found inspiration and motivation. Thats what I did on a recent project. I was afraid I'd never get back into the groove of things it if I stopped, but I was able to and once I did my excitement for the project had been rekindled. Middle bump is worst.

heres the thing. theres 2 theories at work here.
either these are the blogs, documenting the making of a movie...all genuine...if thats the case, these blogs are coming across as unnessecarily exploitative now, stop airing your personal laundry and get back to what the blogs were intended for, the making of the movie, otherwise you have us viewing you like a car crash...too horrible to watch, yet too fascinating to look away, and youre the guy in the edit suite after all
SlippyProductions 2 years ago
OR...theory 2...which seems stronger to me, and something I mentioned in the last blog entry....this is feeling more and more like a movie...again, not meaning to be hurtful if its all genuine, but if its a film, its getting painful to watch and your characters are acting in a cliched way...whatever theory....resolve this...move forward...finish the project...its beginning to feel like a lonelygirl15 project

Also, whenever you have a break, or just walk through the mess around the house, just pick things up a little at a time and eventually it will get cleaned up. If you have a big segment of time get a big area done!
nonnahs144 2 years ago
How much is left of filming for the film? It seems to me you should get all the filming done so you can get a haircut and shave! Like the others said talk things out, make a definite plan that you both can agree on. During this blog both of you are unsatisfied. Gabi should get a part time job while Rob does those other film commissions. Sometimes the thing for relationships to help get better is breathing room. Good luck guys! we have faith in you to work things out!
nonnahs144 2 years ago
True to your project, you let us share the life of the LoneFilmMaker. And as in many films, the blur between reality and fiction keeps up the suspense. I expected at some of the more cheesy moments of this post Gabi to walk through the scene and greet us with a wide grin.

From one filmmaker to another, you're really acting like a spoiled selfish prick..

I understand it's his vision, but like it or not, Thelonefilmaker isn't alone in his journey to realize his movie. For the whole weakness and mistakes, that would've worked had he not said anything when she was speaking about him.. Just seeing Rob looking at her video in silence would've suffice!

its really sad to watch these blogs. rob, don't act like your little obsession with your film and your stress are not uncontrollable. leave them aside at least for a while, groom yourself, clean up your apt and treat gabi for a perfect night out. she seems like an amazing woman with enourmous patience and she deserves it. remember that most women would have left you on the skids with your film project and all going on. shes not gonna hang around for long if you blame her and your work

This is the real deal. Extended solo projects _are_ hell to see through at times. They do take their toll on relationships and mental health.
But for some of us, we have little choice. It's what we are driven to do to express ourselves.
You have our deepest respect.
dclnm 2 years ago
Life is hard when one person feels dependent of the other in a relationship. I think you both need to sit down and talk, but talk with only one rule: No reproaches. Just say what you have and what you need.
Relationships are based on common interests and compromises. On both sides.
Also, I don't know if she already have one, but I think Gabi needs a job or a hobby. Preferably something that will take her out of the house a few hours a week.
You're both mature people, you can balance it ;)
FrederickCross 2 years ago
Chin up. Goodluck Rob. If you feel Gabi needs you, you should put down the project and return to it at a later date. Take a break. You can't run yourself into the ground. Gabi loves you too much to watch that happen.
