Dear eve community
I need your help urgently!
Basically ive been playing eve for 20 months now and love it greatly, i have in that time seen and done much and am still amazed i find eve so compeling. Over the last 20 months i have had a very understanding girlfriend who did not mind me playing eve, coupled with my job that keeps me on the road Monday to Thursday i was onto a winner as i had decent evetime over the weekend and a girlfriend who if supplied with chocolate and wine would leave me alone.
But....
I have just traded my trusty old girlfriend in for a newer model....and the 'new' girl HATES eve. we have already had a blazing argument over it and she has told me to stop playing.....
I am on my knees here.... please tell me of situations you have experienced and how you managed to work it out?
I have tried buying stuff for her and agreeing times to play, but to no avial, she thinks it is a dumb thing to play games....ARGHH
(by the way, getting rid of her is not an option cos she is hotter than a steaming Mega Pulse (fnaar fnaar)
HELP!

The problem is that when i was with the ex we had got over the honeymoon period.
With my new lady, were still in that honeymoon area and she has a REAL problem with eve. She was shocked when she saw me log on sunday afternoon and start talking to people i never met....
I tried to explain the wonders of such an immersive universe and that i was speaking to people form around the world: americans, australians, new zealanders, spanish, russian and so on.
She was not impressed and told me to grow up 
The reason i post is that its come to a head this morning as she told me when i get home 2nite i should uninstall and cancel account. she really has a problem with it

Guys i love you all.
Needed to hear this
Shes a very beutiful girl and when we hit the bars and clubs i feel great cos she looks amazing. she also seems to have a real thing about me so there is mutual love there.
In our lives i would say im the bossey one also the decision maker but its just this one thing...eve she cannot stomach it, nothing else bothers her accept..eve.
We were in covent garden having a few drinks last weekend and i was telling a mate all about eve, she didnt speak to me all night cos of that. She thinks its the equivalent of an adult man dressed as a baby - its just wrong - quote
Man this is a hard situation for me

Her problem is that whole "computer games are for kids thing" which is utter Rubbish in my eye.
She can barely use a mouse let alone play a game and doesnt understand.
Dont wanna loose her cos she generally isnt that funny about anything else, shes not got crazy demands, its this one thing.
Was thinking of introducing her to The Sims or something to maybe get her into games?

The EBay thing is a fantastic idea as shes very image concious. i think her problem is that she thinks its a little embarresing to her and her friends if they found out her fella did this game thing. Her priorities are *****ed i would say.
Thanks for the ebay idea im sure that will work, Might cost me a fortune but it would be worth it as i love eve.
Women, sheesh talk about 'jump thru the hoop'

nerf bat 
i try to give her the 'nerf bat' on a regular basis, sometime i find she has a tech 2 BPO drop and some times its a civ gatling loot drop.
if you get my meaning
this thread has been so useful to see others in this situation and how the mighty power of eBay has helped out. i thank you all my fellow eve pilots and i hope to be logging on in 6 hours when i get home without fear of the frying pan.

My old partner was cool, she wanted to sit and watch tv all night. the problem with her was complex and we had to split. (a long story involving baby oil, a mop and an oven ready chicken)
The new hotness is worth it, shes just got this mental block, ebay will be a great start as she loves shopping so hopefully i will tonight be online in eve (on the laptop tho )
Thanks for all the possitive posts, my faith in the forums has been restored.
p.s convo me in game if you want to hear the gruesome details of mine and my exs split

She relented last night about it cos she was tierd but i have a dinner date 2nite with friends and im gonna start talking about titans and jump drives to my mate while the ladies talk about shoes. Lets see how she takes that.
The old girlfriend = April was a star but she went completly bonkers and was dangerous for me to be around her. She once tried to run me down in my own car........shock eh?
That happened a long time ago but acted as a catalyst for her actually going slowly mad....shes now on triple strength anti depresants and the police have warned her to stay away from me.
so the moral of the story is "eve slowly drives us all mad, but what a ride!"
no joke
