Hi warriors!

I just wanted a bit of advice from you all!
I have this friend... and sometimes when we talk... we argue first.. He is an IM... therefore online a lot...

When we argue he thinks its my fault.. because i moan he is always working and never has "time" for me.. and today when we skyped i hung up because all i could hear was his typing... he requested me to skype him all day... and when i came on he?

Now to ME.. thats plain rude.. not very good mannors, i didn't mind much.. but i felt a bit worthless.. because i was doing nothing else but talking to him and he was doign the opposite?

So in your opinion.. Was i wrong or "childish" to hang up?

Also... All i want is a little time each day from him.. where its just me + him.. no work .. nothing.. and its all hey diddle from my side, whenever we are on skype he has my full attention.. and then wen i moan a little that i want his full attention we argue? I mean.. yeah we talk all day... most nights .. but i just feel i am putting all the effort in... its like he won't give me attention unless i request it...

What do you guys think?



Thanks.

    I think it's bad manners to criticise someones spelling in a sarcastic way and not make a relevant reply to your question, but then again not everybody is as perfect as some.

    No, I don't think you were wrong or childish, and yes I do think maybe they could have been more attentative. Typing while chatting is probably like talking on the phone while driving. What you were saying probably wasn't even registering with them as I have done it myself and realised I didn't know what they were on about. Yes it's bad manners.

      Don't worry you'll climatize to the irony.

      To the OP, perhaps give your friend some incentive to dedicate his time to helping you. This might be a financial incentive or something as little as making yourself an interesting person to teach.

      Welcome aboard!

        He's not helping me... He claims to love me .... So why does he need incentive?

    I think you deserve his full attention for part of the day. The question is, how much time do you expect to have his full attention and how much is he willing to give?

    We have to promote mutual respect in all relationships. If your friend doesn't co-operate well, lead by example. If he still doesn't listen, you may have to let go...

    I agree with you that he needs to give you full attention but that depends on the objective, or the reason why you need to talk the "whole day" and Whether the two of you are in professional or personal relationship.

    I think it would be better that you two agree as to the best time that you can be skyping. I believe both of you have other stuff to do other than waste each others precious time.
    Hope am not rude in my statement you could try talking only for one or two hour at most.
