Hey man, if she don't like the "whole bundle" of you, Eve (occasional of course ) included, then get a new one.
I recently replaced mine with one 10 years younger than me .... Someone said in this thread that there are millions of chicks in London, I agree! So don't be afraid to dump her into space
Yarrr! We should all join "Relate". Wonderfull work guys!

You sound like you found a new girlfriend and shes hot and your in the early stages of the relationship.
Stong emotions are flowing through your body and the sex is better then ever and all you can think about is her and your life that is going to be.
Your hobby is Eve and she doesnt like it.....she gives you **** about it and makes you feel bad for something that you love to do.
Take a step back and analyze your life:
Is this relationship going to last? Are you in it with this one for just the pussae? Is this the one you want to marry?
If you answered yes to any of these three questions, then you need to take a serious look at your EVE habit or any gaming habit and think about chilling on it for a while.
Maybe even taking a small break from EVE (keep the skills going) and just seeing if it works for you.
My prior experiences with games arent the best with women (I lost a good one to EQ), but now its totally fine and I have a girlfriend that loves to watch me play EVE.
Ive even got her playing WOW now and she loves it. Its cool to see her eyes light up when she plays, and when she watches me play EVE.
If the girl doesnt like you gaming, its going to be hard to change her. Either quit gaming and join her world, or find another one that likes games as I did.

If she is that hot just say, "You know I understand your argument however I feel a compromise is in order rather than just an ultimatum, so if I quit playing games you have to quit wearing clothes around the house when I'm here." _ _ How many pilots does it take to wire a Flux Capacitor? 3, 1 to wire it and 2 to talk about how the old one was better. |

Edited by: R Dan on 14/04/2005 14:40:15 OMG! I wouldnt have let her last as long as you have! OK, fair enough I've been called "harsh" before for the things I've dumped women for, but lets face it if they are the right person for you you'l know it and change accordingly, if she was the right girl you wouldnt need to post about it, you'd do it. This bird, although hot is a dead loss in my opinion, ditch her, play some EVE, go out and find another hottie, tis easy :) (and yes I -am- single at the moment, and loving every minute of it ....well OK not every minute, sometimes the stray thought pops in "wouldnt it be nice if *insert some ex's name here* was here to keep you company..." I just tell myself I'm going nuts, pop some bad guys (or girls) and go out on the Thursday and/or Friday and/or Saturday night for some fun)
Bite me....for i taste good :)

Here was my problem- used to play Planetside (another time sink of a game), on the upstairs computer, as I couldn't play it well enough on my laptop.
My wife would moan, in some cases fairly, that I'd spent all weekend on the game, and hadn't seen her hardly at all.
Eventually, got bored of PS, discovered Eve, and to my joy, found it ran very nicely on my laptop. So now I sit downstairs with my wife, she watches telly, I play Eve and chat (well, respond!), and everyone's happy. Voila I am spending more time with her.... --------------------------- |

everyone's different on this type of thing. ppl have different needs in life. my last g/f didn't get it either. she was a party-type of girl, needed the face-to-face contact all the time w/ ppl. i'm more of a homebody. she had the same type of issues, but mostly she felt like she was being ignored. anyways.
my new girl, she rocks. not because she lets me play Eve, but because she understands me. she doesn't get jealous over time i spend w/ the guys/gals on TS. This is my hobby, as is golf, as is softball. when i don't do the other 2, i play Eve. Every other minute i have is spent with her, and it's time well spent too.
just ask yourself if this is the girl you want to live with forever. if there is any doubt at all, then it's pretty simple.
1) you're not ready for this relationship w/ her. 2) you haven't been around enough to know. see #1
Either way, if she means more to you than your other hobbies, you'd be happy to give them up, and she wouldn't have to ask you to. That's obviously not the case here, is it?
Don't complicate this issue, keep it simple, you'll find the rest takes care of itself.

I know the feeling sometimes. My fience (was my GF when I started) didn't totally understand why I played. But since we where apart during the time and still is I can enjoy my evenings playing it without issues.
Now on weekends I had no problem going out and doing other things so its not like she was seeing less of me when she was around. Now shes spending more time at my place due to having a job in the area. I still love spending time with her but she does her own thing sometimes and she knows that I have a much different hobby then what she has.
Truely if shes telling you to give up somethign that you've been doing way before you started going out theres an issue. She doesn't understand why, and thats where its conflicting, and from the sounds of it she doesn't want to know why you do it.
I do it for fun and relaxation. I meet alot of nice people out there and have lots of good laughs. Thats what its all about, and to get away from real world stuff at times. I know someone said this before, theres much worse things that you could be doing with your time then this, let alone much more expensive.
If she doesn't take time to understand what you do, how do you even think a relationship will work with her? It sounds like she wants the pants in the relationship.

Relationships are all about copmpromise. She is making unreasonable demands. Gaming is part of your (and frankly everyone who posted here's) lifestyle and difficult to stop cold turkey.
First she says no computer games, then she will go after all of your RL friends, then your money, when that's gone so will she be. 500 for a purse screams high maintenance.
Call her bluff, if she leaves you are better off, if not get rid of her anyways as shes a pushy bully.

Edited by: Devestator on 14/04/2005 16:12:14 I completely understand your problem. And a solution might be for you to do some stealth eve playing for a while and enjoy your girlfriend.
I have been waiting for thread like this to see what some of you guys think of my situation.
I think have one of the Best Relationships with my gf in my eyes. This might not help you but it might be a situation many MMORPG players would like to find themselves in. You guys can tell me it sucks but I enjoy it. Mind you IÆm only 23 and IÆm not looking to get married anytime soon. I just enjoy having fun on the weekends.
Here's the story:
I met her in college and fell in love. Smokin hot girl. We graduated and she went for her masters one and half hours away from me at another school. I thought the relationship would end. But we kept it going with a long distance relationship. Now, for the last two years, we have been seeing each other only on the weekends. (Friday night to Sunday night)
I get Monday to Thursday to play eve after work. Then I have to call her when I log. The weekends I go to her place I set a long skill and enjoy a nice weekend.
In the beginning I used to play eve when she came down to my place. But that ended quickly as I realized I should be giving her more attention than my video game because I only get to spend a small amount of time with her each week.
Now I have a perfect balance of eve-time and gf-time. I don't get burnt out on either. We drink and party and have a great weekend then she leaves!!!! We have our own lives during the week and don't get caught up in the mundane weekdays.
But I sense doom in my future. She graduates in May and is moving home with her parents that live 2 and half hours away!!!!
Who knows what going to happen but if itÆs meant to be then its meant to be.
IMO SEX beats eve 100% of the time. But i'm still young.
Good luck Pyrex!

Personally I think your relationship with this bird is doomed. Try to make sure she doesnt give you a right kicking before the inevitable happens. She's got a seam of `control freak' about her if you ask me. She isnt content with simply not understanding your interest in something new to her but excepting its part of who you are...she demands that it stops. Big difference. Let me guess...she'll happily sit through crap like Sex in the City or Footballers Wives. Imagine if you said `Bin those or i'm off!!'....she'd probably ring the cab for you. I've been on the recieving end of this kind of thing before. Its a test. Shes calling a tune and seeing if you'll dance.

Originally by: CEO Pyrex Guys i love you all.
Needed to hear this
Shes a very beutiful girl and when we hit the bars and clubs i feel great cos she looks amazing. she also seems to have a real thing about me so there is mutual love there.
In our lives i would say im the bossey one also the decision maker but its just this one thing...eve she cannot stomach it, nothing else bothers her accept..eve.
We were in covent garden having a few drinks last weekend and i was telling a mate all about eve, she didnt speak to me all night cos of that. She thinks its the equivalent of an adult man dressed as a baby - its just wrong - quote
Man this is a hard situation for me
An industry worth ú2,000,000,000+ is wrong? An industry bigger than movies is wrong? Just ask her if there's any difference between playing EVE and watching her fave movies/TV shows. And then ask if she has any concept of how many people are 'wrong' with an industry this size.
Man, things like this make me realize how lucky I am... my girl's not into EVE, but she doesn't mind me playing it, and she's certainly itno plenty of other games.
=/ Sorry mate, looks like you're outta luck. I haev to assume you had a good reason for you and the prior woman not being together anymore, but looks aren't everything...
Devestator; don't give up man. You've got something great there. I'm an eight hour flight + another hour and half flight + a total of three hours in a car away from my girlfriend, but we're still trying as hard as we can. Believe me, a strong relationship can overcome distance. (Frankly, a much bigger issue is my hairstyle, and it's a non-issue. xD) Bleh... xD |

An ex-girlfriend pulled this same kind of thing on me a couple years ago, but it was for my other hobby. About two months into our relationship she told me I had to get rid of all my firearms or she would break up with me. I said, "No frackin' way!" and stood my ground. Well, she didn't leave and in the end I think she respected me more for standing up for myself and what I liked to do. We broke up later for other reasons, but in the end I continued with my hobby and actually got her interested in it a little.
IMO, people who pull this kind of stuff are insecure and feel they need attention 24/7 in order to feel fully loved. When they see something intfering with that, they try to take control of the other persons life. What they don't realize is that a little communication and striking a balance between personal hobbies and relationship time will make the relationship better.
Stand your ground. If she leaves, then you've gotten rid of a bad apple. If she stays, then you may have a keeper.

Seriously Dude,
This is just a game...
Love vs Pixels on a screen? No comparison...This game does suck up alot of time and really what do you accomplish? So you have like 100 Million Isk...so what? Can this buy you a car or take you out for a good time?
Time to quit Eve and enjoy your RL!
You can still participate in the forums and keep in contact with your EVE friends via messenger/email/phone/in-person.
I know you will make the right choice!

Throwing in my 2 ISK here.
To alot of EVE players, it's more than a game, it's an actual hobby. Something we spend time and thought on. We enjoy what it has to offer us and enjoy the environment that's been created.
Your new girlfriend sounds shallow as a puddle on the street, mate. Spending ú500 on a handbag? Demanding you cancel your account? I'm sorry, but the reality here is that it sounds like you two are doomed. It doesn't matter what your hobby is, someone that immediately tries to change you this severely does not deserve any more of your time (or money). Pointing her to eBay will only cost you money and eventually things will get much worse. If she's so outraged over a hobby of yours, think of what the future holds .
I think you will realize this once the "honeymoon" period is over, and you realize that what you enjoy to do with your time is > some shallow twit, regardless of how "smokin hot" she is. There are many intelligent beautiful reasonable women out there.. I should know I managed to secure one, myself. And once you've found a better match for yourself, it's all about balance and compromise.
Keep us updated!

TBH i never told my bf to stop playing eve, we dont have much time together either but that doesn't mean I forbid him to play eve at all times. If you love someone you will let the person enjoy small things even if you laugh at them and think its pathetic ( an absolute terrific girlfriend will also fake enthusiams or interest).
Even now today I have no idea what his AD&d campagne is about , what they do, what they play but each time I ask how it was and whether he died. I dont like it to see him go off for a entire day to play a boardgame but actually demanding him to stop is just silly and a bit egocentric.
This is not a hijack

once you give in and start to comply to all of her demands, you will not be your self anymore. She will ultimativly leave you for another man for the reason "your are not interesting any more"... And her cycle will start all over again..
The 500ú handbag is just insane unless you are a rich guy and can afford such maintainance. My wife occasionally buys very expensive shoes (all women are shoeaholics) but she would never buy a hand bag for that price.
