If she still got going for it, you might wanna drop the fact that the average age of video game players is around 30, not 10. Just cause from what I'm hearing she seems to think it's a childs hobby.

Get good sex while you can, then switch models again :) It won't work if you have to keep altering yourself to something you're not, been there and done that. |

This is turning into an AA meeting of eve-aholics 
I pretty much in the same boat as some of you, wife + kids = not much 'me' time these days. I usually spend an hour or two online while my wife persues one of her hobbys (most of them I got her into muwahaha  )
So basically if you can get your GF interested in something that would take an hour or two of her time, you maybe able to squeeze in Eve. Otherwise, dump eve for awhile, RL>eve. You can always come back to eve, but finding someone in RL is a little bit trickier imho.

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
Girlfriend telling someone to cancel eve-account = four torpedoes in the face! errr I mean perhaps giving her the boot would be good

It's time for you to look for a new Girlfriend T2 version.
This one will be ever embarrased if you would play ANY game. She wants to show off things and a boyfriend 'playing games' will not fit in her 'utter coolness'.

Doesn't sound like a relationship that will last tbh...
It can't last. It doesn't have a chance if it is getting started like this, I wouldn't want to be there for the end. What you are calling the Honeymoon period, is really the physical attraction period. By your own words on how hot she is. Once you get past the "hot", what will you find? A controlling, must be in charge, make him tow the line female, will be doomed to spending a single life. I personally would never have a man in my life that I can push around and dictate too. Chances are I would lose interest before he did.

My Girlfriend hates EVE, I hate watching sitcoms.
Sitcoms = on 24/7
therefore...
EVE = on 24/7

Now its eve, tomorrow your not allowed to look at other girls and you need to have your head down at all times( in case a nice girl walks on the street).
I'd ask her why she has such a problem with you playing eve, its a game, its not real, its there for fun. If she cant give you a good reason ( if you play 20 hours a day then she has a point) tell her the answer is no.
or, play it dirty and mention that your ex never had a problem with eve
The problem is simple...
While you play, you don't take care of her...
My GF is totally blocked with Eve and videogames in general...But she plays Diablo II and heroes IV .
She plays when she has nothing to do, so she assumes it's the same for me...That's why I play when she isn't at home...
Also, regularly each month, approaching the computer is strangely similar to a war declaration...I still can't explain that...

Her problem is that whole "computer games are for kids thing" which is utter Rubbish in my eye.
One thing I say to that sort of comment is that if games are for kids... why are there many titles out there (GTA, Doom 3 etc) that have 18 certificates on them... I'd wouldn't say that you could call them games for kids!
I'd agree with other posters that if she can't accept you playing games at all then she probably isn't worth it long term!
Must say my personal eve playing time has decreased recently since getting together with my girlfriend, but thankfully that isn't due to her having an attitude over eve, just less time available to play! Has been useful for getting some level 5 skills done though!

Being a female myself, I can understand her logic. She is frightened that you will spend more time with EVE than her, which by all accounts is correct. So you must show her that she is more important than a game and that you are more than willing to set it aside for the time being. Hence setup a 14 day skill and chill with her. You'll have EVE back in no time flat.

You have to be a bit carefull with the looks thing. She might look great now, but in 25 years she will have lost the looks, be 5 stone heavier, own half your house, half your money, half your pension and you will be OMGWTFPWNED like never before...
A bit cynical?.....yea

Mate, you need to get yourself a decent woman. One who doesn't try to change anything about you - I mean, it's not like you've just started to play after meeting her.
She needs to accept that this is you and this is what you do.
At the moment, you're blinded by the 'hotness' but when it comes down to the basics of a relationship, your partner needs to be your friend above all.
My hubby started playing Eve after RL friends recommended it. I watched him now and then and vowed never to play it because of the time it took up.
So I carried on playing The Sims...
For a while. One day I caved and got my own account. I couldn't be happier.
It's not for her to tell YOU what you can and can't do. Telling you to uninstall it is just a tantrum tactic. Be strong dude, don't give in to her just because she's 'hot'.

First off, this discussion is pretty one-sided, but intresting non then less.
As many others, i got this problem to.
Currently, im un-employed (bliss!) wich gives me time to play while she's at work. BUT, as soon as i logon while she's at home.. hooo boy.
"You'd rather spend time in front of the computer then with me!
"Your so boring!"
"It's just a game!"
"I'm not worth anything to you, am i?"
etc..
Sometimes i whish i where single again, the nagging is tiresome to say the least, but the upsides is quite a few to (yes, more then sex). I guess girls don't handle cometition that well, in any form, since they are shop-o-holics and like to OWN EVERYTHING, including people so they can brag infront of their friends (i'm quite the catch ). We'll see where this relationship leads me.. but it's not away form EVE, that's for certain.

There are 3 things you could do which would probably work.
1) Take a week off EVE and badger her so persistantly and annoyingly that she will be glad of the break and force you to play EVE again.
2) Declare that "Your not playing EVE tonight you have a new hobby" . Then Vanish for 2 hours at night when its dark and make sure you take some binoculars and come back covered in soil and grass. (ie just go to mates for a bit).
Hopefully she will become concerned and demand you stay in and when coupled with Option 1 this will work to devestating effect.
3) Send her away to Uni and pay for her, this is probably a last resort as you risk losing her but at least you can blame her and your in the clear with everyone! Result !!

This really depends on what happens when you have time together - if you spend say 90% of it playing eve you can kind of see her point. If on the other hand you devote some quality time to her on a regular basis and play eve as an aside I personally can't see the problem.
The main issue with eve is that you can play for 2-3 hours and feel that you are only just beginning to actually get anything accomplished - it's great at swallowing up all of your time.
The main issue with co-habiting women is their need to feel that they have a suitable amount of your FULL attention.
How about agreeing to having a full evening devoted to her (take her out for a meal, a drink, watch a film together whatever) every weekend and in return schedule an afternoon of eve (or some similar regular arrangement).
Balance is the key and talking from personal experience this can be tough - especially if like many men you have an insular hobby like eve while many women have more sociable hobbies like (stereotypically) shopping.
As for the "it's only for kids" stuff I would recommend going down the line of it's your own way to escape from the pressures of every day life - some shop some play games each to their own in moderation.
Of course she may just be playing an insecure/immature power game of "will he give this up for me" which happens to have focused on eve. In which case you need to reassure her that she is the most important thing to you - suggest that you give the games a complete rest for a fortnight to prove this. Chances are she'll be happy to let you go back when you have made this clear. If after this time she is still being totally unreasonable about it you can probably take it as a warning sign of more demands to come.
Ramble over - good luck.
p.s. You can always try not sleeping one day every week - periodically works for me!
p.p.s. Don't let the looks thing get you for too long! - if any relationship becomes too unbalanced (i.e. one person bending over backwards for the other for an extended period of time) then invariably the dominant person ends up losing all respect for the other = dead relationship.
p.p.p.s. This is turning into a Dear Deidre column from the Sun!!!

Jettison your current girlfriend in deep space and take back your old girlfriend.
Sincerely if she don't like you to play EVE, she doesn't love you. Because when we love someone, we love all the person, and no game nor other thing can break the love.
My 0.02 Isk: My old girlfriend didn't like that i played computer games (i'm a computer game addict... i can play 6h per day - with a job -). She was always bugging me: you're again on that f***ng computer, go out with me (at the opera, berk).
One day, i told her: I never mind if you go shopping, so let me play, or leave. And she left .
Now i found another girlfriend, she really loves me and don't mind if I play EVE (and I really love her for that  )

Well lets hope she doesn't get stropy and pull the cord out when you're about to escape a ganking...seriously just talk about things you like and things she likes and also try not to be selfish with the time you have with her - eve is time consuming.
But remember some women are just like that, like the ones that say "it's just a game" when your football team is about to get kicked out the cup....girls, don't do it, those words at that specific time hurt more than getting kicked somewhere painful with steel capped boots.

Same problem, although I would call it 'the ultimate log ON problem'
If you give 100% when you're with your girlfriend it should be a problem, right? Wrong! I just wish my girlfriend had something that she was as interested as I am in EVE, bar me of course.
If she puts an ultimatum, she's not worth it, simple as that. Stay strong

I had a girlfriend like this. She was pretty damn "hot" in my eyes too, right up till she threw a pot of water on my computer while it was on, while I was working on it and then stole my 69 mustang.
Ditch the chick, don't look back, don't think about it, just do it, before it gets crazy, and it will get crazy if you let it go on.
