Thankfully my husband is understanding unless he is really hungry then it is more "are you done yet" with a clear overtone of "get into the kitchen!!" :)

So while i dont have a tale of woe i would offer a zen hug to those that do :)

I posted this in the Old Forums and had a pretty good response. I think this would be some good therapy for all of us who suffer so greatly from the dreaded Wife Aggro.

My wife is beyond irrational when hating EVE. She has no good excuse because I do NOT deny my duties as Husband and Father.... even though she likes to think I do. Regardless of what time of day or night... I get the sigh, evil look and head shake combo. It is SO annoying. I can hardly ever play EVE without a damn knot in my stomach. So far this year, I have taken 2 sick days just to stay home and play while she's at work. .. Not much else I can do. I will continue measures in an attempt to thwart the aggro and will share with you my results.

Slave labour is a *****

No more like "I dont want to get food poisoning" his cooking is... really bad :)

True, whilst your playing eve, you should send him to cookery school. Problem solved.

I've been on the receiving end of an ex ignoring me/life because he was busy playing WOW and you can't just leave things when you're in a raid.

But as a gamer myself, I can't say it bothers me if I'm playing my own game and my fiance is playing or doing his own thing.
As long as neither of us start ignoring each other, or life and responsibilities, then I'm happy.

What you need to do is take a night off from EvE. Go down to the pub and get drunk. When you get home rough her up a little before bed. The next morning ask her which she likes better.

WOW Sindjin. Your wife aggro is a lot worse than mine is. I have to schedule the OK for group activities with her ahead of time. Other wise I'm restricted to easy solo work (Mining, Exploration, some missions) cause I usually have to go tend to my wife faction during my best play hours.

It doesn't help that I'm always already on the forums all day long

That should solve your problem : WIFE REMOTE

Awww the joys of being single........and alone.....so alone :(

At least in space no one can hear you cry

Reading these replies it seems to me that large part of "wife aggro" is about you doing something fun that your spouse can't be a part of.

Or refuses to be.

Or refuses to be.

Yeah... this is my case...

I have tried to get her into it. Even had her make her own character in the new creator tool. She refused to even undock in a ship.
She looks at EVE as the other woman, lol.

Becouse EVE is the other woman

I am married with a 17mo old son. My wife has a for-fun part-time evening job at a local coffee shop, so I am taking care of our kid 4 nights/week after work and gym. I get absolutely ZERO crap for spending time playing vids/watching shows

Dang.

My girlfriend loves to read, and often gets lost in a book while I'm playing. She doesn't get the video games thing, but she understands it's something I enjoy. As long as I'm not melting my brain away all day long or neglecting my responsibilities around the house, we're good.

She even made me a chili and cheese omelet last night while I was waiting on an op formup


Sitting down and figuring out where the boundaries are can go a long way. You need time for you, she needs time for her, and its nice to respect each other's interests.

That's what scares me...she doesn't seem to actually need anytime for herself. Her hobby is me and the kids.

If she's a hawtie, my offer to trade still stands

Dang.

Oh yeah... she's hot. Very beautiful, sexy woman. She also has a heart of gold... don't let my rants take away from that!

Thankfully my wife is totally cool with how much time I play. She can get annoyed at my "other woman" sometimes when I'm in the middle of a fleet op and take forever to help do something, but most other times she's chill.

Of course she spend her weekends writing Twilight fanfiction, so......

Mine would rather post/troll newsvine and watch MSNBC/Fox News than have sex though, so it's a matter of whether you want to give up sex or not :P

...oh, and she's turning 50 next Sunday...

Age is irrelevant. One thing I have learned... foreplay starts hours or even days before intercourse. You gotta WOO her. Mine is easily Wooed thank God. I do a lot of the housework, almost all of the cooking and I'm a proactive Dad.... all things she says turn her on.

My wife used to play Farmville on FB. I'm going to try and get her back into that. She can lay in bed on the Laptop and play that while on FB. It would be perfect while I'm playing EVE.

Yeah... this is my case...

Overall, I don't have any real wife aggro about Eve... even if she does refer to it as that other woman. We have a few kids now, and I've been pretty careful to not log in before they go to bed... that helped my wife aggro problems a lot. I also try not to log in before she goes to bed - much to the eternal consternation of my corpmates - but that rule is broken somewhat frequently.

All things considered, she says she'd rather have me home and playing Eve than staying at work late (again), out drinking and partying on the beach, or playing all those video games with "strippers dancing all over the screen". I'm a bit worried about Incarna.

A man just needs time for his nothing box, this is something only rarely understood well by women. Also the touching of other brain boxes while one of them is open should be clearly understood to be a no-no.

Luckily I'm nice and single atm, yielding me all the time I need to spend in various dedicated endeavours, such as EVE :)

I thought of this when I first started reading this thread too! Such a good dvd

(btw, women can have a nothing box too, I go into mine often lol)

I actually used to be on of those wives that used to *sigh* roll the eyes* and yell - WILL YOU JUST HIT PAUSE FFS?

I downloaded it one Sunday just to see what it was and make fun of him with a little understanding of the game. That was 2 YEARS AGO!

Now most nights he's standing in the kitchen giving ME the LOOK *le sigh*
