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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Originally by: Blnukem 192

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.

Do the "most visual effect" duties. Works for me. Just make sure you did SOMETHING and for me that usually means cleaning up the table etc or washing clothes:
Cleaning table: Putt all the dishes into the dishwasher/sink and pile all the other stuff nicely. Done.
Washing clothes: Throw clothes into the machine, add goop. Push start. Done (she can take them out when she comes home, I mean she should also do something...).
Usually this takes... perhaps 5-10min and then you can eve all evening and she comes home to see "ohh, clean table, oohh smell of clean clothes". You are married, they don't stop whining before you actually do something. It's just about finding the sweetspot for efficiency

I go to work at eight, return to home between six or seven. Cuddle/change diapers/feed my four week old twins (which btw I do the whole night every three hours). Afterwards I eat and talk to my wife - and if I'm really, really lucky and not to tired I log in and earn a bit of money and talk to some friends.
At nine I fall into a coma - which is interrupted by said twins - until I go to work again.
It's called a family. You should try it.

I generally agree...
The one big annoying thing though is that women NEVER see the things you've done, but only focus on the things you've NOT done. Therefore you might as well do only the things that are absolutely necessary and enjoy the rest of the day. 'She-who-must-be-obeyed' will find things to nag to you about, no matter what.

I also agree, but it's not about giving 100% to eve or your wife. It's about giving for example 20% to eve and 60% your wife and 20% to yourself. The problem lies in the wife, who thinks it's 100% to her only. In the end it doesn't matter how much you play eve (as long as it's not 100%). The only thing that matters is the time you don't spend with the missus or doing her things. Even 1% of eve is too much in that calculation.
The first priority of women: To be the mans priority number one. Period. Anything less is naggable.
As for women not seeing...well try this. DO all the cleaning and basically everything you can. Then just before she comes home you play eve for ONE minute. When she walks in...you have been playing Eve the whole day according to her. Hmm...perhaps one should exit the game instantly when the wifeys coming home. The blitz to the kitchen and have some dishwater running. Alas, i have been doing "household" things all day...

Not with **** like that on the recruiting poster, I shouldn't. Stories like these reaffirm my lifelong commitment to avoiding marriage and especially children for as long as possible ù ideally forever.
Besides, last I checked, the world was already severely overpopulated. I wonder how much vasectomies cost these days?

With this attitude you clearly don't have think about this problem, cause you won't get a wife/gf anytime soon unless you live in Russia or Alabama.
Women want attention and 'do' stuff together (also 'that' kinda stuff obviously but here i mean the sort of stuff we men see as a waste of time). So i'll opt to do that kind of stuff so i can play Eve in peace when the wife is doing *her* stuff, like washing and ironing etc ;)

I thought the one hour downtime was so you can run round and do everything that you need to do to keep the wife happy??
A few tips
1. Ice mining in high sec with an alt means you can do the hoovering with minimal input
2. Spray cleaning products on the radiators and turn on the heating. Its like an air freshner for the whole house and makes it smell like you've been doing the housework
3. You can setup an ironing board in front of the puter and work away on the pile whilst running mission - after all you only have to press F1 every now and then to pop the rats or run annomalies <-- personal favorite of mine
4. Putting in clothes washing machine. Line up the clothes into piles the right size and when you have a long warp between gates just throw in a new load. Its worth investing in the "tablet" type detergent for this as you just throw one or 2 in and no time lost measuring.
Follow just a few of these and you cut down on aggro and wife thinks you've been so good she lets you play spaceships when she gets home as a reward

Start going to a pub and coming home drunk every night (a delicate scent of cheap perfume on your clothes when you come back home is a bonus). She'll beg you to stay home and play EVE.
On a more serious note: RL > EVE

I go to work at eight, return to home between six or seven. Cuddle/change diapers/feed my four week old twins (which btw I do the whole night every three hours). Afterwards I eat and talk to my wife - and if I'm really, really lucky and not to tired I log in and earn a bit of money and talk to some friends.
At nine I fall into a coma - which is interrupted by said twins - until I go to work again.
It's called a family. You should try it.

Tell her "Because I'm the man I don' need to explain myself to you! Now, take those shoes off and get back in the kitchen!"
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.
This. End of discussion.

Women want attention and 'do' stuff together (also 'that' kinda stuff obviously but here i mean the sort of stuff we men see as a waste of time). So i'll opt to do that kind of stuff so i can play Eve in peace when the wife is doing *her* stuff, like washing and ironing etc ;)
Way to sound like an ---. At first you seem to be trying to be the moral voice of reason talking about his attitude and then you go way off on a prejudice super highway talking smack about places you know nothing about. Good job kid.

Unless you are stuck with a wife/GF that wants you to spend every free second with her then it should be no issue to have a gaming habit.
I work away from home for weeks on end. When im home before the GF gets home I make sure that I clean the kitchen start supper and prepare to spend 30 min to an hour with her when she gets home. She know's that I have been sitting at home all day most likely playing EvE/WoW/Minecraft, yet because I put in some effort to spend time with her my nights are free to game even if I have already put in a 12 hour day. Unless they are a controling ***** they should be understanding. Relationships are a 2 way street and it only works if both are working to keep it flowing smoothly.
If they dont understand that you would rather not sit on the couch watching another generic sitcom you might be with the wrong person.
I can sum it all up in 1 sentence
RL>EvE and dont be a lazy tool and do some work around the house, also respect your Wife/GF otherwise you might find her in bed with another man/toy/woman.

If we men demanded the things you guys post about we'd be classed as abusive. But because it's a woman nagging, demanding, whining and crying it's ok. Grow up and realise that females who constantly demand attention have mental problems and need counselling. It's pretty sad to see you guys accept their childish demands as if it's the way it is, just because they have a vagina.
Think about it next time the wife/girlfriend whines about your gaming habit, while being a shopaholic or expecting you to watch some third rate soap opera you aren't interested in. Remember that there're men who're serving time for this kind of abuse and if you're still too weak to stand up for your gaming habit (which most of you are) tell her that you're dumping EVE but are going to get a new hobby which will cost a lot more money and time. Also complain about her hobbies. When she wants to spend time doing whatever it is she wants to do come up with things you want to do with her. Make her life as difficult as she does yours. Because, the moment they, as well as you, learn that a relationship isn't a one way street is the moment you stop being a little boy and can call yourself a man.

Take care of the RL chores. Kiss the wife, feed her dinner. Afterwards, "Honey, did you want a drink while you watch your show?" She's fed, happy, and concentrating on her show. Play Eve.
Or, in my house, "Tell you what hon. You uninstall all your Sims games and sell all your animes, and I'll uninstall Eve." Still playing, 3 years later. Never nagged about it again.

This thread made me laugh so hard I lost my shorts.
Truth is, if you have a problem with a wife or GF that has some reason to hate you playing Eve, you have to look at your situation. No way can you be married or committed and be a neckbeard playing an MMO endlessly. But if you are responsible and keep all of your bases covered and still draw fire, you have to investigate the matter.
In the last Sansha attack I was in, that took three hours - multiple worm holes, fleets popping up - what a nightmare - and surrounded by them too. It was epic.
My GF was waiting for me, 3 feet away. She had other things to do, and did them, and then, once I docked, logged out, and took her out on the town and she was quite well dressed too.
But in all other aspects, I do the best I can to be around when needed.
She asked me if I wanted her to play Eve - she's a horse trainer, competition shooter, and an activist, and I said "you got too much on your plate. Let me play space captain and be a dork when I feel like it but you don't need it".
I have seen in this thread the reasoning that Eve is far cheaper than hanging out at a pub down the street and drinking all night. I often state out loud that one of the reasons why I play Eve is because it's cheap clean fun and a lot better than drinking all night (though I brew my own beer and wine too). Then I use the money saved to buy her things for horsies and shooting and her farm. Today I helped with some of the more important tasks. I could have played Eve all night if I wanted.
My last observation is this: a lot of women seem to have notions as to how things should be. Frankly, that vacuous sort that has the same hair style as every other woman and does and says the same things (look at plentyoffish profiles and it seems that 90 percent of them like to take walks on the beach, movies, and dining - seriously what kind of empty-headed existence is that?) as all the rest is going to be the one that sees playing a MMO as "different" and anything different, along with owning a gun, having a classic car, learning an esoteric martial art like Sayoc Kali, or anything else not carefully depicted as "main stream" on television, is something to be "nagged against". The first time I saw my GF she was on a horse and holding a gun and ranting horribly about some coyotes making a try for her livestock.
Good thing I didn't allow this out-of-normal appearance run me off. Now she shoots competition pistol matches with me and likes to dress like Milla Jovovich in Resident Evil when she does it.

All you 'men' talking about doing the washing and ironing so that your woman will let you play eve are doing it wrong.
Here's how it goes:
When you first get together, do housework BADLY so she soon stops asking you to do it any more.
Get her hooked on whatever TV shows you can, as well as any simple game with easy rewards like Farmville. Then you can say you really want to watch TV but ok [sigh], you will go an play eve so she can watch telly.
Mine used to look at me wearing my headphones 'playing with your spaceships' and say "I'm married to a boy", but now she's hooked on Farmville she is more understanding.

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.

I bought my mrs a Nintendo DSi and an R4i card that I've loaded with hundreds of ROMs. Keeps her good for hours and she leaves me alone.
It was like giving a rubiks cube to a colour-blind kid. She sits with it for hours.
A sound investment imho

My GF is always cool with me playing EVE as long as I do all the things I say I'm going to do and make sure the time we do spend together she is made to feel special - I think you'll find most women want that.
Case and point - she was ill Saturday, I only probably spent a total of a couple of hours with her split over the course of the day but the second I woke up I got her everything she could ever want while being ill (comfort food, house blanket, pillows, medication, TV/BR/Sky/Xbox360 remotes etc) and put it on the table in our front room where she had taken refuge, bought her favorite pastry product, bought her some sun flowers, stoked up the wood fire, made a cup of tea and told her despite being ill and her feeling terrible, she was all I ever wanted.
Then she insisted that my Saturday shouldn't be ruined with her being ill and me stuck in the house looking after her so I should go and play EVE all day long and talk to my 'internet freinds'. It was raining outside so I complied, even saying 'are you sure?'.
I also have a cheat code for late night EVE sessions....I say I don't want my EVE playing to interfere with my time with her so I play it late night after she's gone to bed. That one works a treat ;).

I can feel the OP¦s pain.
Could not log in for a single second.
Friday we went "to town" and came home late. On saturday i went for a poker tournament in the neighborhood at noon. Buy in was lost after 3 hours. Got really drunk. Came home very late.
On sunday i was punished for coming home late (and drunk) and had to clean the basement. Who the hack needs a basement? Haven¦t been there for months. Anyway, GF having "Negotiation L5" so there was no way around it. Was so tired afterwards i did¦nt want to log in.
Perfect weekend. At least i know it¦s my house when things go really nasty.

Nerf yourself, learn and adapt. Turn on a high skill, learn to have sex again and relax.
RL first, EVE second. Take EVE easy, there's nothing - I repeat: NOTHING - important you will miss.
Be aware that the real cool stuff is behind your eyes, outside the window AND NOT in front of your eyes, inside the screen.
If nothing of this works: get help! Honestly!

Life goes on and we all want to improve our lives to make it easier.
How can you justify playing EVE if your life doesn't improve over the months?
Make slight improvements that will gain you her trust. Once she sees you can progress in RL she will be at ease with your hobby.
