So, as I am currently spending a lot of time at home I'm desperately in need of excuses for why I have played EvE all day when I should have been working on all of the things that I promised my wife I would do.
I may not be here tomorrow ----------------------------------------------

Buy a PS3 and move. She can have the controller, you can use the PS3.

Stop the excuses, get sh*t done and get RL sorted before playing EVE.

My GF was a bit hesitating about me paying for an on-line game, but I calmed her down by explaining that Eve is not another microtransaction game.

Damn, what are we going to do without you?! Oh, the same as every other day. Suggestion: Remove the "new topic" button from everywhere apart from the list of topics section within a subforum.
That'd save those with chronic hand/eye coordination some face. |

Join the club... ever since I got my now old "new" job in 2008, and home obligations combined with constant travel, well, lets just say I make enough money to waste $150 a year to just train skills - I feel terrible. Haven't touched EVE in a long time
You cant make excuses, just do stuff quickly for her, and then play EVE. I used to play at night for a few hours when my dear other half went to bed. Now its just too much even that. Makes me sad panda.

Edited by: III ZiggyBang on 07/10/2010 00:30:59 Yes OP, this is a subject I have some experience with & it's a sticky one. a few points;
a] always make sure the Kitchen is tidy & free of dirty dishes when she returns home.
b] give the house a quick vaccuum clean.
c] take all trash out.
d] sweep & tidy the front entrance (or whatever entrance she uses).
If you do all this you can sit down and enjoy hours of uninterrupted EvE & rest assured 'she' will struggle to find things to complain about on her return.
I do this everytime I'm "working" from home & I find a list of jobs like this can be knocked over in 45 mins max & gives the impression to the better half that you've been way too busy all day long to enjoy yourself at all. That's the main thing, she must not be allowed to think that you may have enjoyed yourself at any time.
If the above approach still falls short, I suggest the time has come for a complete service to be administered, do a thorough job and she'll run beautifully for weeks!
Good Luck.

So your promises are worth nothing.
I would suggest that you either start to respect your wife or let her know that she would be better off finding someone who will.

I've actually neglected EVE almost entirely for the past week, having spent five or six hours a day painstakingly cleaning the house and running various errands. I was enjoying cleaning so much, I didn't even want to play.
And I'll tell you this: Dusting, sweeping, mopping, scrubbing and tidying a room is literally more fun than running agent missions, and more rewarding, too. I thought to myself, "Damn, I sure am glad I'm doing this instead of running missions."
I haven't run missions in years... never again. Rather get a part-time job at Mickey D's and buy PLEX, if it came to that.

Sounds like you are an addict, maybe you should spend sometime away from your pc just to reassure yourself that you can still function whilst not looking at a screen.

A few things you shouldn't do: 1. Tell her the nanobot paste you got was suppose to take care of the cleaning, not you. 2. Tell her not to worry about it because you just traded her minivan in Jita for a Rifter Fleet Issue. 3. You had to stay online Eve because the Privateers had all of your trade routes gate camped during the war dec. 4. You don't ever remembering to train up the skill "Wife Nagging Compensation"..
And last but definitely not least 5. Never, ever refer to her as a Minmatar slave wench.

And, because you're weak
Originally by: Blnukem 192 So... Can I have your stuff?
I found out earlier how much my wife has spent on shoes. You men need to start being pathetic and show your wives aggro. Mine came to me all meek and cuddled me and tried to be all cute, after I'd barked at it.
I've been married for 10 years. My wife understands full well that I'd sooner replace her than my gaming habit, just as she'd rather replace me than stop playing Sims 3 and watching the rubbish she watches.
This is called being your own person and not being in an abusive relationship. Enjoy being em*****ed whimps.

If your wife isn't a higher priority than a video game, you REALLY shouldn't be married.

You feel the need to, and actually justify yourself to your wife?
