Total agreement. I even asked if it was ok before deciding to sell. She's more of a Guild Warsy player anyway. She understands my need to don pretty internet spaceships and shoot people in the face and I comprehend her need to dress in skimpy neo-medieval gear and run around the countrysides.

I've got a yellow lab and three cats...and the lab likes to jump in my lap just as much as the cats do, and he's fully grown. There have been "incidents" here as well, LOL!
Camilla, my smallest runt cat which is the most talkative and acrobatic of the bunch, loves to jump from my wife's PC chair onto my shoulders (we have perpendicular desks in our game/music room) while I'm playing, scaring the living crap out of me. She then looks at you after you yell at her for scaring you, and then yells right back at you while purring and standing on your keyboard and waving her tail in your face.
Then there's Cleopatra. She's the boss of the house and will let you know it. She's a beautiful grey cat who constantly bitches and complains and hisses at you. She never does anything about it, just basically yelling at you for getting in her way. She'll do it while she's cuddling with you. She also likes to lick my clothes for some reason while she's in my lap. Dunno.
Finally, we have Banjo, the closest thing to Garfield anyone could have. This is the biggest, cutest, cuddly-st, hungriest, most annoying cat in the history of cats. I would have killed him a long time ago if he hadn't been so damn cute. He has razor sharp claws and loves to surprise me by clawing his way up my leg when he jumps into my lap while I'm playing. It's extremely painful. He then proceeds to apologize by purring and walking back and forth in front of my keyboard, waving his long, periscope tail in my face, rubbing his face against mine. He'll then crawl into my lap facing me, sit down, and literally put his paw on my face over my mouth, as if to say, "That's enough Eve. Pay attention to me now."
One time my yellow lab Marduk had to go away for a couple of days because we went on vacation, and he missed home so much that my mother in law had to go pick him up early from our friend who was keeping him for us for a week. He didn't miss people, he missed his couch and his cats. When he got home, all three cats ran to him as he jumped on his spot on the couch and they all laid down with him and went to sleep together. My mother in law said the cats were desperate when Mardy left. People laugh when I tell them that Banjo is Marduk's brother, but it's really true. They are inseparable, even though Banjo's a cat and Marduk is a labrador. I'm a dog person by nature, but cats and dogs together are unbeatable. The dynamic in this house is hysterical. |

Going back some time, my mother had Margaret and C'thulu. Margaret was an apple-headed tiny little Siamese, and C'thulu was a big(!!) brain-dead Maine Coon. Margaret hated C'thulu, and he never understood what was happening - She'd run into the room, nail him in the face three, four times hard, then vaporize; He's stand there looking around trying to figure out what happened.
Margaret whould also body-check C'thulu off of tables: Run across the table and slam her body into him, shoulder-first. He'd fall off the table - often straight onto his head, -then get up, shake himself off, and wander away.
But when C'thulu wanted your keyboard, well, give it up, 'cause your productivity was done. Bare-claw climb up the leg (all 18 pounds of him!), stomp onto the keyboard, then plop himself down. Immobile, short of picking the keyboard up and flipping it over. Which didn't phaze him at all - He'd just get up (off his head) and repeat. The bloody stab-wounds in your leg usually deterred you from trying to remove him after the first experience.

Don't have a wife, but go for a gay gamer instead? :p
Sadly I'm not gay though, so i'll have to scour the globe for another female eve player (or gamer i could introduce to eve) that could stand me. (I'm not that hopeful :D).
But introducing any somewhat techie oriented spouse to eve might work. Especially if they are into sci-fi System ideas: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=191928&find=unread |

Im a (now reserve) comm ops officer in an armoured brigade which needs the same skills. Its wonderful to watch a movie listen to TS and the mrs and hold 2 conversations.
However apparently when i do it my eyes lose focus so talking to the mrs and listening to TS has resulted in head slapping and once a full blown arguement.
Still, love the skill. Jus need to train it to 5 to reduce the aggro. "I think you should buy a new Mayan calendar. Mine has muscle cars on it." --áKenneth O'Hara

Your partener should respect your hobbies just as you should respect theirs, and if you find your self in a position were you can never have "you" time because your patener does not approve of it for whatever reason, is that really the kind of person you want to be with?
And this ofc does not just have to mean games. You have a TV show you like but you cant watch it because its not "ok" in your pareneters opinion? Or you want to go and work on that old car you have sitting in the garage while you have a few beers but its out of the question because it means you will get "dirty" or there are so many better things you could do with your time. Or ofc you could just want to read your newspaper because thats an activety you enjoy but nope... cant do that either because you need to pay attention to what they are doing
These are just a few examples. But the point is.. Everyone needs time for them selfes to do what THEY want to do. It does not matter how much you love your partener/famely, sometimes you just need to forget about what is going on around you and let your mind drift.
So i can agree to some extent..a game or hobby shouldent destroy a relationship, but if this is your hobby and your better half cant respect that, what are the chanses that you will stay happy in that relationship?

Is there a point where the Aggro/Waggro becomes justified? Personally, there was a time where I would sit down to EVE and blow off reality for HOURS. After that much time, does wife aggro become "justified"? Red Fed Grunt.-á Co-Host of the High Drag Podcast. http://highdrag.wordpress.com/

Well, on the subject of that I do have a story but its a tad long.
It's back from when I used to play WoW (yes I know), and in my mates guild there was a really nice guy who played with his wife and his young lad. Anyway we were all noobs together, we met while leveling around the mid 20s or 30s I forget and we started leveling together. We managed to get him on vent and his mrs followed shortly after and we had a good time chatting to them. He worked from home and ran his own business so he had oodles of free time to do as he wishes and the wife was fine with that. On vent it was always a "back in a mo, loading dish washer" "back in a tick, helping the wife take in the washing" etc etc.
This all changed around the time we hit 60. My friends guild was just social, we did the odd 5 man instance (this was back in vanilla wow in 06) and BGs together but nothing serious. Most of us were university students or in their teens. After a while he started to push for us to do raiding, and get some good gear. We tried, and failed terribly. So he decided to leave and join one of the better guilds on the server. His mrs and lad stayed in our guild as she liked the community and his boy was about... 7 or 8 at the time I dont remember and he just enjoyed doing what we told him.
Pretty soon he caught the raiding bug, and as it happened the guild he joined also used our vent as well. Then the problems started, it was always "can't, boss fight" / "can't, got to do x y z" and the mrs would confide to us about it as they played in separate rooms.
Soon after his wife became more and more inactive, and in my friends list I barely ever saw a time when my mate would log off. On the times the wife would log, she would say in guild chat how he wasnt doing his work now, and customers were getting angry etc or deadlines coming up. Long story short on that, he lost some big contract he was doing and had to pay the penalty clause which was something like 35 grand and the mrs went mental on him. She had a kind of RL intervention for his raiding addiction (This was just when they'd added Naxx 1.0 before TBC) and told him it was her and the lad or WoW.
He actually chose WoW. The mrs moved out and quit shortly after. I know he sold his house and took his 50% and was living on that and basically giving his life to raiding. I dont know the end of the story as I quit shortly after I 70'd in TBC and decided WoW had lost its fun with arenas and so forth and the death of world pvp which is what I enjoyed most.
Not a happy tale, but a good warning I think. "I think you should buy a new Mayan calendar. Mine has muscle cars on it." --áKenneth O'Hara

Aye.
Shame too, they were a lovely couple. But I think deep down he had a highly addictive personality and WoW's press button, receive bacon nature appealed to him.
I always took it as a warning. But the thing is, could this happen in EvE? I mean.... I know the old MC raids would last 8-10+ hours. Is there anything comparable in EVE? I'm not sure how long pvp roams and so on are, or fleet fights. But I know how long incursions and plexs etc last and its not a terrible amount of time. I never do logi on my incursion alt so I have sneakily disappeared from my keyboard a few times when the mrs needs a hand and nothing has gone wrong.
Yes, it might have given the others more of a job quickly but family comes before games especially if its something either super important or something that will cause strife.
Now if I do something I tell the mrs in advance. "im going to be doing something for about an hour and a half in eve ok?" And she will give me her nod of approval as in "sure" or "can you help me with the washing in 10?" or something like that, to which I will oblige and get my uninterrupted time barring some kind of disaster.

I take the same approach. Most of my game time is in 1-2 hour blocks near the family's bedtime or after. I'll also do a variable 1ish hour when I get home from work to "decompress".
However, the last RVB FFA was a very long EVE day. I arranged it with the family that I was going to be in game for quite a while and there were times where I had to step away for prepping meals for the kids and such. The wife was at work for most of it and the kids are content to watch over my shoulder and entertain themselves.
That was 15 hours. Start to finish.
I really had trouble logging in after that. Burnt me right out. Marathon game sessions like that are very very few and far between. Red Fed Grunt.-á Co-Host of the High Drag Podcast. http://highdrag.wordpress.com/

Aye but thats the inherent beauty of eve. You can take long eve breaks and as long as you're subbed and your queue is set you keep progressing skill wise.
I do that a lot. I'll probably be doing that soonish myself. Got a marathon set of skills to train which always kind of suck my motivation and work is going to be hectic for me. "I think you should buy a new Mayan calendar. Mine has muscle cars on it." --áKenneth O'Hara

So, is there a point where aggro begins? How much time do you get "in game" before the "glare" starts? Red Fed Grunt.-á Co-Host of the High Drag Podcast. http://highdrag.wordpress.com/

I used to aggro my ex BF a lot over playing consoles when we had perfectly good computers to play with.

Fleet fights can last hours - many, many hours. And if you're managing base logistics or participating in sales warfare, well, you can burn a LOT of hours, every day.
Frankly, Guild Wars was me at my worst, but even in EVE there are times and events where I have to block out six or ten hours at a go - I'm a corp director, and that sometimes means you've just got to spend the time. With three other people wanting the computer, well...
So, in sheer self-preservation (which means, among other things, preserving my relationships), I try to advance-warn everyone and schedule the large time blocks well in advance. We'll negotiate computer access - "You can have it from here until there, but then I get it from such until the other, and then the girl will have it for so long, before rotating it to the boy..." Solves fights, usually. Except when my wife fails to turn-over at her allotted point - She's notorious for that. Which results in three people staring at her, arms crossed and toes tapping, until she logs out.
But usually, the negotiations work. Sometimes peopel will negotiate chores in exchange for extended time: "I'll give you an extra hour of my time if you'll do the dishes." Tell someone you love them today, because life is short. But scream it at them in Esperanto, because life is also terrifying and confusing.
