I got my wife addicted to The Game That Shall Not Be Named (she wouldn't try EVE for all the tea in China). She plays in her cute little world of Blood Elves and puppies and I get to do whatever I want.
Everyone here might hate that other game (myself included) but as soon as you show your girl that she can own a little kitten that follows her around wherever she goes, you'll get all the EVE time you need.

I let my wife do her thing, she lets me do my thing. And when someone wants something from the other, we kindly ask and get it generally granted or done.

Pretty much as others and you yourself already wrote. By playing whenever I can.
I've got two kids (4 and 2), wife, dog and a fulltime job, so I can't really go for 16 hour hardcore mining trips, but EVE (at least the way I play it) is perfect for "casuals" like me. Having said that, I'm still a newbie, so I don't know how the "endgame" will turn out - obviously 0.0 will probably require a bit more in terms of commitment - but right now the offline skill training and the fact that I don't have to feel completely useless in a gangs even though I'm still a newbie are worth a lot to me. I can spend time with friends (those I've managed to "convert") and compared to other popular MMO's like - WoW, where they'd have to keep "boosting" me for 3-4 months before I could be any use to their groups, it's great to be able to co-op regardless of skillpoint difference.
But most importantly, this is my hobby, so everything else goes first. Luckily I have a wife who also loves MMO's and other games, so I don't have too many issues with 'clingyness'.

I don't know if i have much to add but i do know EVE is a great refuge from the BS my wife watches on TV. If she wants to watch Grey's Anatomy or the Biggest Loser, fine. I'd just rather spend my time playing my "spaceship game." Does this make me a dork? Probably. Does this help our relationship? Certainly. Because it gives us a chance to do our own thing (and I hate her taste in TV shows sometimes).
Now, things are bound to change because she's 2 months pregnant. When Stazzmo Jr. comes i won't have any time for EVE for a few months.

I play whenever I want to or can, My wife knows that this is one of the many ways I relax and she respects me. She also knows that if she needs me to do something all she has to do is ask and I will dock an get whatever she wants done done, that way I can get back to doing whatever it was I was doing before.
I also think that it helps that I truely enjoy spending time with her and we talk about everything, I talk alot about my games and other hobbies and she talks about her intrests ( no hobbies yet.....but she is leaning towards guns lol) We even have made the room were I keep my computer into something were she can sit and read while I play, and I enjoy those times.
Once while she was sitting in her chair next to me I was gatecamped ( on both sides of the darn thing lol) and I lost not only my ship but I was podded as well. She saw me try and fail to get out of there, but I did not lose my temper or gripe as alot of posts in other topics have shown, and because of that she truely does not mmind me playing EVE. Shoot whenever dinner is done and I am playing EVE she yells up "Time to dock..dinner is done."
And on a final note, when given a choice what would you prefer? A game that you love or time with a woman who lets you spend your time as you wish?
BTW I let her read these posts and while I let her know that mosts of these posts are exagerated ( or at least I HOPE they are) she thinks that "if you care more about the condition of your ship more then the condition of your loved one, your ******."

While blood, carnage, and distruction may be my "happy place" that is nothing like the feeling I get while hauling 2 mill isk in goods thru low sec. |
