**** women, seriously. Even if you have 90% of your time free, the 10% when you're busy is when they'll demand attention. |

I have lost a 7 year relationship over EVE.
Well not solely due to EVE, but spending more time with a game than with your girlfriend surely takes its toll.
So if you like your girl but she doesn't like MMOs, you are probably better off not playing them at all.
Cindjin, leave while you still can.
There are plenty of women out there who enjoy gaming. Wasting your time with one who doesn't "approve" of your hobby is setting your self up for failure. Seriously, if your SO is going to get so bent out of shape because you're OMG playing a video game...he/she needs to move on. Are you getting drunk and knocking him/her around? Are you shooting up ****** or doing meth? Are you neglecting personal hygiene? There are a lot worse things you could be doing. If she's going to cry herself to sleep because you're playing a game instead of sitting on the couch with her cat watching Grey's Anatomy...you both need to move on. KB |

My wife too is convinced I'm meeting women.
I made the mistake of telling her I had to email 2 people (in-game)
and she FLIPPED!
"SEE??? I KNEW IT!"
A jealous, selfish spouse is the worst kind you can have. This has nothing to do with Eve. Save yourself a lifetime of misery and find someone who has some self confidence and feels secure in your relationship.
I once got asked the same question (well not due to eve), and I did this: "are seeing someone else?!?!!?!?!?!?" "yes. Two nights ago I slept with a amazing woman who rocked my world! Then yesterday I had a lovely night watching a movie with someone I love and enjoyed it. Today I'm seeing a ****ed off woman who can't think back two days and consider asking that question again". "AHA!!! But...i watched a movie with you last night...oh! OH!" Then in the morning I got coffee and breakfast already done when i woke up. Lesson of it all? There is no rationality when "ze personality" takes over. It's not about WHAT you answer it's HOW you answer. Also the "are you playing eve again?!" "well i could be in the pub making the girls giggle..." "oh...this is better" :) |

Just make sure your spousal unit gets his or her time with you on a daily basis, calmly reassure them when they get insecure. Anger can only make it look like you have something to hide.
Been on this merri-go-round for 10 years now. *laughs* I still have the MMO's and the other half, so I must be doing something right. |

When she understands why you need to be at that POS siege at 3 am, you'll know she's the one. |

Well I got a GF that works 2 evenings a week and on average 1 day in the weekends.. and she has no problem if I use those times to fully dive into eve and let the rest slip (on household stuff besides the bare necesaties) As long as we have good times and do things on the days that she is free. It works for me :) |

Tricky part comes when you need to explain WHY you also need to be drunk and have beer/whiskey at hand when it happens  |

My wife and I have been together for 5 years, married almost 4.
She's hot, sexy and a perfect match for me OTHER than being jealous of things that "take me away from her".
I actually moved the PC into the bedroom so now, she can be in bed, watching TV and I can play EVE along with watching whatever she puts on.
But she's too smart for that. Now she has to "share me" with EVE.
Perhaps we DO need to change the name of the game to HANK. |

My wife refers to my ingame char (this one) as "the other woman" but she gets the fact that if i have had a stressfull day at work i can come in and blow something up (If i get past loading/load grid)* and feel better. She watches tv. Cant stand what passes for tv these days or mucks around with farmvile too. at weekends Its no long ass op time and we do rl together or whatever together. I think as other women get she lucked out  |

Yeah moving on is what we currently do. Your words actually raised my mood a bit and made me look forward again. Thank you. Tomorrow will be all the same depression, but ... oh well, I'll still have EVE and a lot of time for myself.  |

As others have said moderation is the key. We both work 9 - 5 so make sure we eat together then I game for a couple hours then time for a couple of hours couple time before bed. Anytime she questions a grown man pewpewing I just explain it's my version of celebrity news or greys anatomy and we're good. |

My Fiance HATES EVE  We make it work, though. She keeps trying to steal my attention in the middle of an OP on a regular basis, though Every time she goes "ho-neeeeeey" when i'm trying to move a fleet around I want to bash my head into the monitor, though. |

Speaking as a girl that plays Eve, if my husband:
A)Ever said "put out more or STFU" to me, they would never find his body. Ever.
B)Got all bent out of shape over me playing a damned game, he'd find his ****, neatly boxed, on the back porch with a note explaining the difference between "me" time and "us" time. |

My ex hated eve and called it "my other woman". I actually told her "well, when EVE starts *****ing at me, ill ignore her too".. I did mention she is my EX-wife right :) . Eve didn't kill the marriage (my Ex's boyfreind saw to that ! :) ), but it didn't help
My current wife doesn't like it much more, so I'm a bit more strategic about it. It helps that she sometimes works nights. I sometimes shower her with attention..then when I've gotten on her nerves enough I get to go play eve without interuption lol. |

I have been with my wife 7 years. Everything is great...but she hated eve.
I told her ISK was real money. Showed her how much I had. Told her I would buy her something nice. Now I have to pony up some crappy trinket once a month. She stopped *****ing. |

While I EVE, wife Farmvilles. She's hooked on it.
Same! Between Farmville, Cafeworld, Frontierville, and Lords of Ultima she stays just as busy as I do. As long as she has a fun game she doesn't mind if I have a fun game. But when she gets bored of her games then I pretty much have to stop playing until she is having fun again. A happy wife is a happy life |

Edited by: Eternum Praetorian on 11/08/2010 15:41:33I have met some people in game who are married as an MMO Playing Pair. Often the guy plays EVE and the woman plays WOW. These people seem to be happy because they share "game immersion" in common. Alternatively there have been one or two cases of "I am sitting here at home, I could otherwise be out getting into trouble you don't like?" which also seemed to work for said individual. As for me:I am still just young enough to know, and at the same time old enough to realize, that the universe of EVE online will be here long after my present girlfriend gets kicked out onto the curb. Women don't like anything that takes your attention from what they want to do, where they want to go, want they want you to do, and whatever it is that they are yapping about that particular moment ex.) ex.) ex.) EVE is designed to completely take your attention away from the realworld. That immersion is one of the main reasons why we come here to play in this persistent game universe. The women that we can't seem to live with or live without, unfortunately also occupy the real world, and so they will learn to hate anything in your life that immerses you that is not "Them" Fast Forward 50 Years CCP when will EVE have fully artificially generated, 3D, perfectly buoyant virtual reality women that posses next generation AI making them appear to be totally human!!!!!Who says Technology can't solve all of man's problems... |

Moderation is the key to happiness. I've been playing MMO's for a very long time, so it was part of the package when my wife met me. Just never go overboard with your playtime, and make sure all your responsibilities are handled before you sit down to play. Make sure you spend as much time with her, and go out on dates and all that fun stuff.
EvE is actually pretty forgiving about getting up from the computer. Try doing that while healing a raid in WoW...doesn't work out so well.
Please do not discuss moderation on the forums. |

Speaking as a man, speaking to a little girl that plays eve. The only thing worse than male posturing about women, is women posturing about men. |
