the wife

[Narcissic]

Wife?! Don't have one of those. However, I DO have a girlfriend. When I first started here, 5 months ago, I'd get her to keep an eye on my guys while they macroed. I taught her how to restart them if the connection was lost. She wasn't very good at it, but she tried! Haha. A few weeks ago I pulled an all-nighter waiting for an IDOC to fall. She woke up to use the bathroom and just shook her head and said,"just make sure you eat something! and drink some water!" She even hums the soundtrack. So, no, my lady doesn't hate the game...yet.

My gf doesn't hate it, but she still doesn't understand why I can't pause it.

[Drunk'n Disorder]

You're the wife.

Key difference, I don't complain about her shopping habits...

but she still doesn't understand why I can't pause it.

This.

Maybe, Freeza.

You're the wife.

Read this while driving and nearly flew off the road laughing. Hilarious.

A wise man once said you broker peace BEFORE the war. After starting up and playing every night for a couple weeks, I knew I was staying. I knew the wife would not be happy at that pace. I developed a peace treaty that allowed me to play Tuesday nights, Thursday nights, and any time on the weekends after the kid goes to sleep. The peace treaty remains in place a year later.

A quick side note, if the wife wants a girls night out always say Yes. In the best case scenario the wife comes home loopy and frisky. You get some action, and she can’t complain about your game time. Worst case scenario she doesn’t come home and you get to play a free game as much as you want! The freeness will mean a lot more when she gets half your stuff.

"ever notice how a guy will marry someone that doesn't have the same interests other than general attraction?

Notice to all guys: You don't have to marry someone just because they give you sex. In fact, that usually stops after a couple years.

Find someone that actually likes the things you like and stop letting the other head think for you."

So let me get this straight. It's not that no one will have sex with you, you're just practicing abstinence within the human race? How many Hamsters do you own again?

I live in a place where women have sex just because they got bored from going to the grocery store.
"I'm tired.....probably should find someone to have sex with".

KNow what? Haven't married any of them.

I realize that sex is a bitch to get in the US, but it doesn't mean you gotta putaringonit.

No one thinks you need to putaringonit. Nothing promotes the idea that you grew up a hermit than the notion that you have any belief in that.

My main point is that people in every game I have played, they tend to complain that their girlfriend or wife hates what they're doing. These are people that spend more time in games than in the real world.

The implication is that they had a physical attraction, so they chose that over any real connection, based on interests.

"why did you cheat on me, honey?"
"all you care about is your stupid games"

this is the excuse for every argument you'll ever have. No matter how much time you give them, it'll never be enough to stop the hate for your hobby.

My first post was meant as a joke, hence the quotation marks and the fake quotation of Buddha.

I am only continuing this because you nerds made it serious. I felt the need to continue on the same track, regardless of personal views.

Girlfriend is a different realm so I won't speak to that. But when you are married GK...every minute you are NOT doing what they want, is something they hate. Games or otherwise. I wouldn't read too much into when dudes talk about how their wives hate something.It comes with the territory.

Me and the wife share something deeper than pixelated decapitation and piracy. So her hating UO is not a real concern in sustaining a real relationship. But I still reserve the right to bitch about how she bitches about it.
