I still do it. I'm 34 and currently with my second live-in girlfriend. The first one didn't leave me due to programming; I just decided to go for a younger model. I'm not trying to brag but rather dispel the myth that you need to stop programming to have a relationship. My girlfriends have always known what is important in my life: me, my computer, my car, my bicycles, then them. Instead of relying on being the most important thing in my life, I encourage them to the be the most important thing in their own lives. It's a far healthier relationship and part of a Stoic lifestyle which I find to be the true path to happiness.
