Always worth whatever happened to my 'toon, mind you - And sometimes I'd discover my ship and toon were still mindlessly wandering through spece with nary a mark on them. Sometimes.
Still totally worth it.
These days, she's back to work, aqnd doesn't have as much energy (or frustration) to work out on me - So I've been getting more uninterrupted game play. Not at all sure I can call that a 'win' though.

There have been a few times that my wife has gone to bed and ask that I come "tuck" her in.
Fast forward a few hours......
She'll wake up and say "did you remember to log out? I hope your ships are ok." Surrender is still your slightly less painful option. |

My mrs doesnt do that, her tactic is the sneaky neck breathing followed by sultry voice seduction which her accent does naturally anyway. Her other tactic is to rest her chin on my shoulder and ask EVE related questions like "is that you?" "You were different last time" "whats the top level of the game?" "havent you beaten it yet?" "Can i make another cute girl character?" "Oooo pretty" and "Are you still playing that space game?" until it gets annoying and she reveals her true intentions... usually something like "Can you get the big bowl from the top shelf?" (Mrs is 5' 7" tall, i'm 6' 2" tall so the top shelf is my domain to get things) or "It's bin day tomorrow."

And since she can take me two falls out of five (and is a nasty hand with bunt instruments), I find it easier to safe-up and deal with whatever it is she needs done. Unless and except as otherwise noted. Tell someone you love them today, because life is short. But scream it at them in Esperanto, because life is also terrifying and confusing.

Mines a military nurse, but since I was, and still am (but now reserve) an officer, she cant pull rank on me except in medical matters.

Where is the husband aggro threads!
Believe it or not but in some cases its not the wife that is causing aggro because of online games So going to add in..well two stories here.
First one is wife aggro. My (at the time) BF asked me if he could start to play EVE and me ofc wanting to be that perfect GF that was so much better then that cruel X that never allowed him to do things like that i said yes go ahead. Well.. i did not expect that i within the next few weeks i would be completely uncapable of getting any form of attention from him. Now im talking to the point were i would suprise him when he came back from the store or similar all dressed up ready to..play.. and get a "Im sorry honey, i have to do something in EVE". Well i guess my way of retaliate was to start to actually play my self
Which leads to the BF aggro. My english was...awful to say the least. I knew basic things like "hello" and ofc the standard "i love you" and similar that you see on a regular basis in varius situations. Luckely he was a member of a pure US corp, which meant i could log on during my day time and be all alone, mining away and feeling so proud of my self for helping him gathering minerals and whatever, and log back off when he woke up so he could play. But then we got a member who worked night and would log on during my times and he was very insistant on trying to talk to me. He helped me a lot with my english even if it was a lot of online transelators and guesses. Well anyway... I got more secure in my self and when my BF had to leave for the army for a year (mandatory service in Norway) a lot of the corp members were trying to make me feel more welcome and keep me company and try to help me understand the game a bit better, which ofc meant trying to talk to me. By the end of the year i was a very capable EVE player, and had many friends within the corp (some to this day,even if they no longer play). I guess my BF were a bit..jelous perhaps, because his attitude towards both me and EVE changed rapidly during the time he was in the army, and even more so when he came back for good. Before i knew it i was not hiding from corp members, but rather staying awake waiting for him to go to sleep so i could safetly log online my self without having him getting angry at me
Well..after living together for 5 years, and him deciding to do a small..mistake at a festival including another girl, and repeating said mistake shortly there after (with the same girl) and then proceeding to blame it on the fact that i had changed to much as a person because of EVE (and yet having the nerves to say that we could keep living together as.. playmates and me as his personal coffee maker) i packed all my stuff and left.
1 year later i met the person who is now my husband, and the only wife aggro he gets from me because of EVE is when he overrules me regarding diplomatic stuff because he can be to nice in some cases But in general we have a simple rule.. While ingame we dont treat eachother as married when it comes to serius discussions which allows the both of us to speak our mind and yell in chats or forums, but as soon as we log out whatever discussion we had in EVE stops. Ofc this dosent always work but hey, no ones perfect
So short version.. If you want to more or less eliminate wife/husband aggro, recruit your better half to your corp, talk for a couple of years, meet in real life, get married and move across the globe Phoibe Enterprises official recruitment thread The Eve Reader - -áAudio Recordings of Eve Chronicles

i don't have bf aggro. we don't harass each other much. i leave him be when he is at his music and xbox. and he pretty much leaves me to it when i'm "playing 'puter" as i call it. lol. except if he is hungry. he can be so direly helpless at taking care of himself. i sometimes wonder how he got along at all before we moved in together. perhaps i've merely spoiled him.
but the important thing is...we always make time for each other. i've very, very rarely had a feeling of being neglected in the slightest...and i hope the same is true for him. though i know he'd never say so if he did. but after these past few years i like to think i'm fairly adept at reading his moods. |

Make him learn to cook for himself... as a grown soon to be happily married man, I am totally self sufficient and there is no reason a man in this day and age should not be either!
Besides, in my house... well apartment I'm the boss of the kitchen. My mrs can barely make toast without burning it.
Still, props to both of you ladies. "I think you should buy a new Mayan calendar. Mine has muscle cars on it." --áKenneth O'Hara

I have never felt that he has neglected me,but then again im used to being on my own and i honestly dont mind not having dinners or watch tv together every single day. We make it a point to go out on "dates" which was very hard when we were actually dating (again the whole thing with living in different countries, both with jobs we couldent just leave, and money and visas) on a regular basis, and try to have atleast one meal together whenever he is home (paramedic so he is gone quite a bit).
I know he often worries that i feel neglected tho.. Either because he is lost in spreadsheets for hours or because he sends me upstairs with my laptop and the cats so he can record his podcasts without having to worry about background noise but honestly the fact that he obviusly does care about how i feel makes me extremely happy, so i will offer to leave our living room (which is where we have the computers) so he wont have to feel so bad about it

My wife loves to cook (as do I), plays violin, and is an avid gamer on all platforms, from NES to PS3 to PC MMOs. She left me behind in Diablo 3 when I got tired of it and now plays whenever she's not studying Bach or Vivaldi. She also plays guitar and is a metalhead. When she finished Skyrim, I showed her the new Hitman game and she was addicted to that for about a month. It's hard for her to get much gaming time in because her violin studies are taking up a lot of her time these days.
The only time I get aggro is when one of our shows comes on, such as Game of Thrones, True Blood, The Big Bang Theory, Bones (we like to watch Bones while we eat because it's so gory and it makes us laugh), but since I love doing those things it's more like "Our show is on, come see!" rather than actual aggro. She's the coolest wife in the world and doesn't nag or ***** at me about my playing, even if I'm playing a lot because she understands what it means to be consumed by a game. Of course, I don't abuse this while she's awake because I want to spend time with her, but she doesn't have a problem with it if I'm doing something important. She'll actually ask me if I'm at a place where she can talk to me during my game time.
She bought me a motorcycle a few years ago and we usually take trips on it during the summer, often bugging me to go on the motorcycle when I don't even want to. Why is she so awesome? Because she loves me for who I am and has never once tried to change me because she feels that she married me BECAUSE I am a gamer and musician. Oh btw, she also helps me load and unload all my gear whenever my band plays somewhere and always comes to support me. How do I keep her happy? I never bug her, I always support her in her endeavors, and she loves my big ****. Advice for the fellas: giving your wife a good dicking will always keep you in positive sec status. |

My cat messed up a Lvl4 mission two of my friends lost ships, i totally forgot to boost them. As my lovely cat decided that the sounds emanating from the speakers offended her and she had to push them off the desk, those speakers where never the same again after that.. |
