uniqueone Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 I've told my story here about a LDR and going to visit him --our second time in person---and how he was e-mailing other women. We weren't in a serious relationship but I thought he would curtail it while I was there--at least for two (out of the seven days I was there) that we were going on a mini-trip. This caused a big explosion and it ended. My question is, what do you consider computer or cell phone etiquette while seeing someone? This guy had a high-powered position so he did get calls while with me (which I didn't mind). But don't you think that a person should explain it to the person that they're with? That they should tell them that they will have to be taking calls or getting online while in their presence? (considering it was a new relationship...casual or not) If he was on a mini-trip with a woman who flew to see him and in a hotel room at night and pulls out his laptop, wouldn't he at least say why? What is your view on laptop and cell phone use during dates or visits. Of course this will be influenced by how long you've known the person.

I'm sorry to say the "high-powered position" is what he has a profession between bankers hours and real-life. He is getting a kick out of using his profession to impress. Plus a laptop??? Whatever happened to his crackberry? Anyway, in my opinion, you are secondary and there are plenty of other women he is in contact with. If he wanted to spend time with a woman who showed up in a hotel room and pulled out a laptop instead of something else; he is not into you. There is another part of him that you see and accepted by keeping quiet. Other part of talking to other women. This is a LDR and not really a relationship till both parties agree. Even if both agree, an LDR is not easy.
