Just tell her to keep her transversal high when tackling and she'll be fine.
You, however, will probably be toast.
Being unemployed, it's been a nice perk for me to be able to give a faction ship for significant days, when he'd have been lucky to get a spring roll in RL money.

weekends or when he is home/awake there is NO eve or anything related:(
sounds like he pretty much dictates to you what you can do and cannot do - this is not good for relationship
if you have your own hobby and you'd like to spend a few hours at it over the weekend he should respect that and let you play

good for him that he has a cute ass;)
but there's a whole bunch of other guys out there who share in this characteristic and who won't be so controlling and stupidly jealous over a computer game ;)

I got my gf an account. Took me ages to persuade her. She likes to collect drones (as in picking up the stranded ones in space) because they are 'cute'.

having read 7 pages of this and having sore eyes and a feeling of unblieve that i just read all of it i have to put my 2 cents in.. i find the best solution is when asked to get off eve simply dont say a word, dock or get to safespot strip naked and chase her around the house yelling and i quote "naked puma naked puma" if she can deal with this she can deal with eve

Fact is, everyone needs time by themselves to chill out and recoup battery juice, just make sure she has something similarly solo to do.
All women do... and it requires batteries!

TBH I think a lot more girls would be into 'these games' if their parents were as giving with these kinds of toys in their youth. Parents usually assume we girls don't like these toys, so we grow up accustomed to different ways of playing games. IE: Here, make a game out of these Barbies - "but mum I asked for a gameboy.." It's really quite obvious if you think about it. So instead of complaining that girls don't get it, buy your daughter a goddamn interesting toy for once. :P
Me? My man used to complain when I was on vent for WoW and Fury, but I just found Eve, and he's an old Tradewars fan. My problem essentially solved.

Ask her to make an occasional skill change for you while your at work, then open a second account and set up a nice carebear/mining /industrialist character and get her to do skill changes on that character, when she make the observation "This would be the sort of character Id probably play" you smile and say here you go honey
Now she plays more than me 
Although it was very funny the day she changed a skill for me and accidentally undocked my ship, she had to ask my corpmates how to redock.
I dont have any problem with any of the male friends she has online, and if the convo gets too raunchy I log on and entertainingly embarass the hell out of her and anyone else in earshot.

It doesn't help that there's been a number of times that my girl and I have been getting intimate and a skill finishes training, causing the EVEMon voice to tell me a skill is done. That's just weird, it takes a second to get the mood back!
Oh common now. You should set long skills to train for those kinds of things.
Or just close the damn PC. :)

Best plan ever for getting your significant other to let you play eve:
Get them used to you playing WoW and raiding 6+ hours a night 6 days a week. Then give it up cuz illidan is on farm status, and start playing eve for only 3 or 4 hours. They will hardily approve of the 'extra' time you get to spend with them and the fact that you can put the game down a lot more often and not be stuck to your screen yelling "I can't, babe! If i leave the whole raid will wipe!"

Before I started playing EVE, I tried introducing my girlfriend to Lineage 2, and all she wanted to do was pvp and kill people. Knowing my luck she would log into my main character and start going postal on every ship she sees!

I have this program that's setup to watch for movement around the house. Whenever my GF enters it alerts me with a customizable audio sound. Helps me know when I need to head for a safe spot or dock up......I call it Sausage. Mmmm....sausage.  |

Ask CCP to introduce the following skills
Name (Ranking)
Shopping (10)
*****ing (24)
Manicure (10)
Hair Maintainance (10)
Sexual ability (1)
The ask tell her that u will do things with her in the different areas according to the skills trained. Example could be additional 30 mins of sex for each level og 15 mins shopping time for each level or additional 5 mins of *****ing time per level. 
Sorry forum is censored, the ****ing skill is the nasty B word for complaining .... do the math urself

Being recently divorced and having an ex that played a lot MMO's as well I can say that in my situation the games became an 'Easy" escape from the needed things that would have made our lives better,fuller,richer.
Personally I've sworn off anymore heavy gaming (3+ hrs) forever, screw it. On my tomb stone the little dash between the dates isn't going to stand for "Really good gamer".
Its all fun in moderation, but EVE like many MMO's drains away the time that your never getting back. But hey mabe you'd be wasting it in even more stupid ways. So to each there own?
Anyway, if I made you feel guilty I'm sure you have a roam or mining op ready to make you feel better.

It doesn't matter what the activity is. What matters is you. If your comfortable in your own skin, and your comfortable with being an internet spaceship player, then it will never be an issue.

As a lot of payers do, I spend a lot of my free time playing EVE. I would say I try to log on for at least 3-4 hours a day when mixed in with RL duties/social activities. I have been playing since 2004 and have no intention of quiting or lowering my play time. I know there are people who play a lot more, but that is irrelevant here. I am trying to preface this with the understanding that to many of us, EVE is a little more than 'just a game'. More of a ritual, tradition or a comfort comes to mind. Really though, it's an awesome game created for people who want to be ensconced in it.
So I am thinking of moving in with my gf. We've had the personal space conversation which followed by me saying:
"Oh, there is just one more thing. I play EVE a lot."
As she replied, "Oh you mean that video game? Thats not a problem." I knew she had no idea what I was talking about or how involved with this "video game" I actually was.
Anyway, I realize there are a few choices here. I could just play to my hearts content, brushing off any distractions as feeble minded blather or I could attempt to explain the game and it's complexity in a short summary.
tl;dr - How would/have you introduced EVE to a significant other?
Simple.
I dont have to.

We've lived together since winter, no probs at all. The gf is an avid blogger herself so she get's me and my time on the intarwebs.
My last score was actually to have her buy a second tv for our home, a 19" flatscreen (for the soapy stuff) so I could get back my 32" screen (smack in the middle of our livingroom) for playing:) Oh she got a recording digital receiver too while at it.
But, I've explained it to her, she really listened and tried to understand. Also I think she finds it cool (in a very hidden way) that I meet people from around the world, many are familymen (she deffo wants kids, I keep her on what she calls "trial-time" lol).
Key is, imo, don't be a fool. Don't come home with lipstick on your collar. Don't drink by yourself. Manage the house and be a man to take decisions, regarding stuff like economy and such. Also, see to it that you do your part of a nice home.

fake edit: Makes me look at my woman in a different angle writing this post lol. I know some guys have honest problems.
