I play Eve Online because I can progress without playing all the time unlike World of Warcraft. Its understandable when your other half gets a bit tetchy with you for always being on a game and neglecting them. It annoyed my fiance even more when I was doing an instance/raid in WoW and wouldn't just dump my group/raid to deal with something.
At the time I thought she was being unreasonable but in hindsight she was right. No game should be that important that you can't just drop it and walk away. With Eve I can just warp out of a mission and dock my boat. The mission will still be there when I get back and if rats have respawned its not the end of the world.
I also think that there are many players who do devote too much time to MMO's and expect to much of other players who want to get involved in corps and alliances. As in WoW it can be difficult in Eve finding a corp with good people who accept that RL has priority over the game. I knew raiders in WoW who raided pretty much 7 days a week and no doubt there are people in Eve who have similar gaming habits. I'm sorry but thats just not healthy

Not sure why I decided to read through all these posts. I guess human curosity - women always want to know what men are thinking and vice versa.
Some of the statements...offended is not the right word, but some of you categorize women into a single box. I guess that is because there are many women out there who give us great ones a bad name.
At any rate - this isn't just a woman vs. man issue - it is a relationship issue. This could easily be the other way around. You should always do what makes you happy, bottom line.
If you are in a good enough relationship then you will want to spend time with that person and turning off a game isn't such a big deal. Most likely you will be with someone that shares your same interest.
Good luck and happy flying.

OP: Sorry to hear of your current situation. I hope a resolution presents itself.
Was in the process of making a long post about how I am in the same boat with my (current) GF and her hating EVE. Instead I shall just say this.
FanFest Dating Service?
Find someone who enjoys gaming as much as you do, that is the only way they will understand how you feel when playing games (EVE) and perhaps why you spend so much time playing it. I can very easily spend 50-60 hours a week just on EVE. For me, EVE is an escape from the stresses of RL. Not only an escape but also a recreational activity that helps me unwind after a day at work. It is the one thing I look forward to when I get home. It allows me to detach myself from reality and become a completely different person. I become 'Jack Paladin', a Caldarian pilot residing in the depths of the Pure Blind region.(I should direct an EVE advert xD)
Alternatively, if your educated enough to look after yourself, get a place of your own, make your EVE Pad and don't worry about relationships. For everything else ... theres ****.
Don't be the person your expected to be, be the person you want to be.

My ex-wife seemed to think that eve was stealing quality time away from her. Her idea of a fun evening was making me watch garbage tv shows on MTV and VH1 and the other trash channels.
Can we watch Band of Brothers? No
Can we watch Trinity and Beyond? No
How about one of the plethora of dvds I have that are cool as hell that she's never watched? No
So, it was typically me sitting next to her...asleep.
Now, I do understand where she was coming from when she'd climb in bed and be begging me to join her...but she'd have to wait because I had to deagress my vindicator and dock...okay, that is kinda lame.......but wouldn't you do the same?
Trust me, getting rid of the ***** and getting a NOT-LIVE-IN girlfriend who patiently waits for you to finish what you're doing, or even takes a nap(!!!!!!!!!) while you finish playing with your friends is MUCH better.

"The moment you stop nagging is the moment I pause this game."
The PMS seizure will be grand but worth it. If it doesn't care to learn that you can't pause your hobby, because it's too busy being a spoiled brat, the sooner you will be better off without it.
I endorse all Frontal Impact posts aslong as i retain the rear impact title...
I await your arrival with great anticipation, don't make me wait too long though. I don't want to |

Mine plays Sims 3, so I don't really have a problem. Besides, she finds Goons hilarious for some reason.
My son just tells me "Blow something UP, daddy!!"

I have been blessed with a family of gamers. Kids play theirs (and play outside too, best RTS game EVER) and my wife...heh, she loves mining and mission running.
The worst I get is "Crap, hun, it's midnight. We gotta be up in six hours."

My wife prefers my gaming addiction to having me chasing her around the house all the time...I even get, "don't you have a raid or something to do right now?"

Funny if he'd say that on the street and FBI came charging in putting ya'll behind bars. I would laugh SO hard.
With that said, yes computer games can cause strain on relationships. But only on those relationships were there is no mutual respect and/or communication. That kind of relationship is doomed anyway.

Another marriage (15 years) reduced to name calling and visitation rights. Guess I'll be mining solo from now on.
Sounds like an addiction.
If it is an addiction, then quitting Eve probably won't help. People with addictive personalities just replace one addiction with something else.
If you want balance in your life I'd seek professional help, if I were you.
Because visitation rights and name-calling sound pretty depressing.
