She hid the cable modem........the conflict is upon us.

Light the torches......and assemble in the street. Tonight we march for WorstPE!

That's it....I'm adding a poll.

I hope there aren't any laws against me showing the enemy (wife) this thread, it is funny and dead on. She hates this game because she has never seen me submerge myself into something like this that was not work related. I wish I had a solution but I don't. I work 24 hour shifts so she has "Oxygen channel time" while I'm gone. My 2142 is my time but she doesn't like it because I'm supposed hang out with her on my time off.

Worst I feel for you. Hiding my wife's stuff would only hurt me as she would just go out and buy another one but the more expensive version with my money. I'll keep my eye on this thread for the magic bullet. Hope to see you back on soon.

Later,

I take it you aren't married

Shows what you know.

Of course, me and my wife have to schedule things. I usually call my "game nights" well in advance (days,usually, if not a plan for the week).

My gaming rules generally are.....

#1. Never, ever play on friday or Saturday nights. Ever. You're supposed to be on a date, or seeing a movie, or drinking with your friends, or having a dinner party, or doing something together, with your wife, friends, family, ______. You are NOT supposed to be hanging out in an online warzone, leaving them to sit on the couch like they have to do every week night. Also......really.....gaming is the worst on friday and saturday night. The % of losers, assholes, hackers, and kids is far too high, making the game as an admin a complete nightmare, and as a player.....utterly frustrating.

#2. Don't play back to back nights, if you can help it. I normally play sunday nights, and then tuesday, thursday. If not those days, I'll play sunday, monday, thursday. Saturday and Sunday mornings are free reign, depending on what we need to do that day.

#3. When I play.....I play for the night. 6 or 7pm till 10 or 11pm. When I don't play, I don't play for the night. I come home, we have dinner, we watch whatever, go wherever, do whatever, have relations, and go to bed.

She still gets pissed about me playing, yeah sure........but I point out that she's not being fair. When I'm playing, she wants to watch E, or some shit on lifetime, or something else that is totally uninteresting to me. She claims that gaming is uninteresting to her.....so we are both in agreement. She can do her unintersting thing while I do mine, and we can meet up at 10 or 11pm, have relations, and go to bed.

You guys gotta defend yourselves, and call your women on their bullshit.

If she's going to say "No, you can't play video games tonight", then you need to follow up with "what are we going to do instead". If she doesn't want to go out, or have people over for dinner, or do something actually stimulating.......if all she wants to do is sit on the couch and watch things SHE wants to watch......that's being unfair. She is forcing you to do things you don't want to do, and she is wasting your time.

Does she sit on the couch and watch hours of GolfTV? Or ESPN? Or whatever you watch and she doesn't like?

Fuck no she doesn't.

So if she's going to say "I want you to come down here and watch E wtih me".....then you gotta say....."No. If you're going to watch that, then I'm going to play".

Everyone wins.......if she wants to watch E....then yuo get to play. If she decides to do something more interesting, like perhaps go out to dinner with yall's friends, or make something fun for dinner at home, or watch a show you both like, such as a movie, or catch up on a series using "On Demand" or a DVD........then you do that. It's enjoyable, and you're spending time with your lady.

but this shit with the "you can't play tonight because I said so......"

guys.....you don't talk to her like that......so she doesn't get to talk to you like that.

THAT'S marriage. I watch Dr. Phil, so know what the fuck I'm talking about.

too bad I can't see imageshack anymore at my work......son of a bitch....curse the IT guys.
