Myself and hubby play eve, him from 2003, got me playing in 2006. He has quit eve numerous times and went back.
I play WAY more than he does and he cant complain cos it was him that got me playing in the first place.
I too have also played in fleet battles while youngest kids are running around wrecking the place or pressing buttons on my keyboard
Eve is part of my social life.

Respect for each other is the key and if you take the other person for what he/she is/likes, it's all peachy.
If she dictates that you cannot play games, you have an issue on your hands you need sorting out.

Damn.. there goes my coffee again...
Still seems alot of people here have relationships... I think Eve is one of the most forgiving MMO's out there to have a social life beside :)
Try WoW in a high end raiding guild... 3 nights raiding, 2 nights and a weekend supplying for raids.. and then left over time to do actually fun stuff in the game like completing your quests... bye bye social life (hence why I quit and never regretted it) I even quit eve once for a few months but I can still say that this game is way better for me as I can step a way from it at nearly every moment to pick up something else to do. ------- Always a deeply religious people, religion remains of great importance to every Amarrian, a fervour which at various times has been responsible both for great good and great evil. |

Quote: A jealous, selfish spouse is the worst kind you can have. This has nothing to do with Eve. Save yourself a lifetime of misery and find someone who has some self confidence and feels secure in your relationship.
^^
My wife, while she may ***** about my 22/7 play, won't demean herself by demanding I quit playing, she has FB (ugh) and her music/crosswords etc...I have my EvE. We all have our drug

GF hates EVE, seriously. One reason might be the name aswell, a girls name, so as eve might be a hooker with a website where you can fly spaceships, before doing indicent things.
She does¦nt want to understand, she does¦nt care. What doubles the problem is that every secand char in eve has "girliename" - and i did¦nt hear any girls voices in teamspeak/vent (even i¦ve heard there should be at least some in eve). I gave her my headset for several times. Just male voices, but she¦s suspicious. One time, i¦ve been to toilet, she took the headset, and tried to chat to find the obvious girl in german, where everybody else spoke english in the gang, confusing the whole roaming gang.
Did i mention she pulled the power from my pc while i was in a 1v1 in my ishtar, defending our wormhole against a single catalyst? Epic lossmail.
My vote goes for HANK too.

Gotta put things into perspective, if you play EVE more than you pay attention to your wife/girlfriend then obviously its going to create a problem.
I've had some good friends leave EVE due to strain on the marriage and I applaud them for choosing their wives over the game even though I miss em.

I know at least one guy in EVE whose wife divorced him over his gaming. There were other factors as well, but gaming was the main one.
There might have been more guys that I've met just that people keep private about such things.
The bigger picture of things is not even relationships. But that if you spend countless hours every week on gaming, you're just not doing anything productive or meaningful with that time. Life is short. And you are spending it pushing around non-existent pixels, achieving virtual goals. I get especially amazed at married guys who run multiple EVE accounts, play a ton of other games, and then complain that they are having problems with their kids, that their kids are not doing well in school, that their kids have no manners. Well yeah, if their parent is glued to the computer screen all evening long then no wonder. Same goes for the whiners who seemingly can't pay for their 6-7 accounts because they are in debt that run 40 POSes but it doesn't occur to them to get a second job, or learn some new skills to get a better job.
So while you deserve some time spent on personal entertainment, make sure that your personal entertainment doesn't become more important to you than your responsibilities and achieving some goals in your life.

My wife has now come to terms with the fact that there are 2 women in my life, her and Eve.
As long as I dock with her every now and again she's happy with the setup

Best way out of getting hassled about gaming I ever heard was to say stuff like "yeah your right maybe I am spending to much time at the PC I should go and spend some more time with the lads, go get some drinks or play some pool and get out of the house a bit"

the wife's ok to a point..
My Wifes usually ok with it.
I'm at home, not out spending ú40 a night on booze..
If it starts to bug her.. she lets me know.
Usually something along the lines off.. If I don't dock up and log off.. I'll be loosing "My Docking rights" for more than 15mins...
That usually does the trick..

LOL my girl calls Eve - Nerds Online - but I do watch Grey's Anatomy and a few other girly shows with her. Thankfully I can play Eve on my macbook and still hang with her

When I married my wife I made it clear I was a gamer before I met her and I'll be a gamer till I die, if she doesn't like it she can get lost. I can say it's worked out really well. I play games and she watches films, series and other things. I don't go on TS/Vent often because my wife's PC is right next to mine and I like to listen to watch she's watching and comment.
There are things I hate, for example that utter **** Crossing Jordan. They just might as well rename it Crossing Harry Potter because the dog farting on the other side of town has something to do with this Jordan figure (I hate Harry Potter, it's so childish). But then there're things I love, The Wire, True Blood, Doll House, etc. For those things EVE goes off and I sit and watch with her and it does miracles because she's happy and so am I.
Also my wife is ill and can't do much. She goes to work but otherwise sits behind her screen and rests. I cook, do the shopping and help clean as well. And then there's the case of my wife not being entirely PC literate. Who's going to fix her PC when something goes wrong. She knows very well if she dares ***** I simply will refuse to fix her PC and she'll be without her TV for days
You little pansies need to sort yourselves out. I love my wife, I love my offspring but I will not give up gaming for them. I don't smoke, go out, drink that much (a glass of beer makes me tipsy) and EVE is my escape from life. We all have one and you're deluded if you think watching Bold and the Beautiful, reading ****ty magazines that make you feel bad about yourself and whatever else isn't an escape.
So, when she *****es threaten her back, if she dumps you good riddance. However, you shouldn't neglect your family at the expense of a game, that's the symptom of a problem that needs to be addressed.

Originally by: Cindjin My wife HATES EVE. Why? Because I play it and really enjoy it.
Is it just me? Do other married citizens have the same problem? I have only been playing for a month or so so I am hoping it's just a phase.
Have you gotten divorced over EVE?
:)
Nah .. My wife knew I was a gamer geek before we got married. She spends time doing her thing and I spend time doing mine. So long as we still make time for each other and the important stuff is getting done, it doesn't really matter.

Quote: Moderation is the key to happiness. I've been playing MMO's for a very long time, so it was part of the package when my wife met me. Just never go overboard with your playtime, and make sure all your responsibilities are handled before you sit down to play. Make sure you spend as much time with her, and go out on dates and all that fun stuff.
Yup, what he said. Additionally some specifics....
- Make sure you clean the house before playing
- Make her food that she enjoys
- Call her on the telephone during the day ( She likes to know you are thinking about her )
- Give her a foot massage at bed time
- Empty the dishwasher in the evening.
- After she is asleep you should get some play for a few hours.
Foreplay can mean many things, but these are the general things that work for me û before playing.
