It does talk well about married men problems. I&#8217;m not married but recently I saw so many discussion about relationships etc. I can only give you my honest opinion from the indie-developer point of view. If you want to ask yourself, what is the best situation to be indie? there&#8217;s no doubt about the reply: the best condition is to <strong>be single<\/strong> or at least <strong>not living together<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Why? there are tons of factors. Here&#8217;s a brief list:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>if you are engaged, <strong>you will have bad moment and discussions<\/strong> (if you know a couple that never has problems let me know, I&#8217;m curious to meet them). Does I need to tell you that programming (concentrating) in such moment is impossible? so if you&#8217;re angry for 2-3 days, in those 2-3 days <strong>you won&#8217;t work<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>if you are engaged, <strong>you&#8217;ll have to listen to partner&#8217;s wishes<\/strong>. Don&#8217;t tell me that you always do what you want! that&#8217;s not true. you can&#8217;t ignore all the partner&#8217;s requests. If he\/she wants to go out tonight, or go to last concert or &#8230; anything else, you&#8217;ll have to accept them, and organize your work&#8230; maybe when you are in a good productivity moment. People don&#8217;t realize that <strong>being indie, is more similar to being an artist &#8211; than a database programmer. <\/strong>Speaking with many successful developers they really &#8220;got insipiration&#8221; in particular moments and that can really make the difference from a topseller to an average game.<\/li>\n<li>being indie is really a particular job. People think is fine not to break balls if you&#8217;re in a office, but if you work at home (or the <strong>home is your office<\/strong>) then voil\u00c3 , doesn&#8217;t count. Like they are entitle to distract you every possible way (if you live together).<\/li>\n<li>being indie means also dealing with <strong>bad periods<\/strong>. There can be moments where sales stagnate, and what will happen usually? unless your partner understand you well, he\/she will complain about it and maybe the classic phrase will get out &#8220;why don&#8217;t you get a regular job?&#8221;.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Ok I think is enough &#8211; there are many more possibilities. Living in same house 24\/24 can be very stressing if you&#8217;re indie!
