I don't particularly care about the flames on this one.
Yesterday, my girlfriend of 4 years decided to dump me because of (amongst other tiny insignificant things), my obsession with this game. She seems to think that playing this game while i'm at my house (and not hers) is detrimental to our relationship. Regardless of the fact that I also work full time for very little money so the world of Eve is a welcome release..
I feel I must point out at this point that she's a WOW obssessed freak and she has no qualms about playing her game when we're supposed to be spending 'quality' time together.
So yeah, she dumped me. Everything was fine a week ago. We were looking at flats together. She asked me to move back in with her (and her parents) again. Then she met this guy in WOW, hit it off with him, invited him to stay with her and the rest is history... all within the space of 5 days
I didn't get much sleep the night before. She broke up with me tonight and I couldn't get images of her out of my mind, so I logged on to Eve. Despite some peoples demands that I head to bed for some kip (Yes Genie :P), I started smacking off some level 4's. Everything was fine until about 6am this morning when the combination of missing sleep, emotional damage and warm central heating conspired against me to make me fall asleep whilst sat upright right in the middle of full room aggro in a level 4...

Lovely, so not only have I lost a girlfriend, but i've also lost my 2billion faction pimped ubertankmobile of death.
Now all I need is some rogue comet to fall out the sky on my head and the day will be complete..
Fly safe now...
I met my g/f in a different MMO altogether (not wow, too many fat smelly pigs play that game) After 2 years of being close personal friends she invited me to meet her, we hit it off April 04 and been together since. We have our qualms but its a generally great relationship. As a gamer she understands that playing her game is just as much as an escape as me playing EVE. She thinks EVE is a BEAUTIFUL game but "it looks WAY too complex to understand" I said thats fine I'm not bothered. The catch here is, When I'm doing something and say "I really have to pay attention right now, this mission is really difficult" and she'll wait til I'm done blowing stuff up then ask for my attention. She never brings up that I play and I never bother her when shes engrossed in doing some high level content in her game.
Its a mutualistic gaming household. I keep the house clean, provide supplemental income, she cooks and does laundry and works ass off bartending for a very hard to please china-man. There have been times where I've had arguements that makes me want to leave but I think to myself, Then who would be there to play games with me, or even cook and do my laundry... Theres alot of other things that dont fall into place that I don't see myself doing but again. I love the time we spend together as I make it a point to log as little time as possible in EVE on her days off to spend time watching movies together and that jazz.
I'm incredibly sorry for what you've lost but hey, can always meet a EU chick that lives in amsterdayum =P
