Commander Jamont Posted May 20, 2002 Report Posted May 20, 2002 My girlfriend and i sweared eachother true love and got engaged. Also we just bought a house in my little town .. So my question to you all married lot , how do you keep your gaming time [ 05-20-2002, 07:39: Message edited by: Commander Jamont ]
Gryphon Posted May 20, 2002 Report Posted May 20, 2002 Heh, kiss it goodbye I used to game for, oh, minimum 4-5 hours a day before I got engaged - I'm happy to get 1.5-2 hours every other day now. What I found helps is if you can do your gaming and be in the same room with her - ie. laptop, or in my case, extra long monitor cable + wireless keyboard & mouse Cheers!
GREG MILLER Posted May 20, 2002 Report Posted May 20, 2002 You have to balance yourself very carefully. My wife is usually happy if I spend time with her, and keep up the laundry. If any of those 2 slip, I'm usually in trouble.
Guest Posted May 20, 2002 Report Posted May 20, 2002 Ive been told that if you hook her on computer games... well, she'll take over your computer.
echo Posted May 20, 2002 Report Posted May 20, 2002 I didn't lose any time until I had the kids, and I run the house and the computer! hehehe
Commander Elio Jason Posted May 20, 2002 Report Posted May 20, 2002 here comes the bride! errmm... i meen the gloom!
Guest $iLk Posted May 21, 2002 Report Posted May 21, 2002 I bought a second computer for her to use. Now me and her play online together.
Guest Remo Williams Posted May 21, 2002 Report Posted May 21, 2002 I tryed the second computer idea. She took it with her when she left me at least. I've been fighting her for the house and a equal division of the property since march. Good luck!!
Guest Posted May 21, 2002 Report Posted May 21, 2002 thats why you get them a compaq for the first 2 years *hides before echo and akuma fry him on the grill*
Commander Jamont Posted May 21, 2002 Author Report Posted May 21, 2002 Thanks for the info , you guys are crazy
Cmdr Jeffery Eu Posted May 21, 2002 Report Posted May 21, 2002 Just explain to her the essential and importance of computer gaming and compare it to her favourite hobby, SHOPPING!!!! And remember give her enough more to go shopping, then you'll be left alone

Sounds like it sucked bad.We've been married for 16 years so you could say that. It appears to be far from over at this point. She won't budge and inch on what she wants, and I'm not willing to just walk away from half of my lifes work. The point to this is though her main complaint was I didn't spend any time with her or my kids. That I kept my nose buried in my PC when I came home. Well with the nature of my business I didn't have much choice. It put food on the table and cloths on our backs. Except for the time I spent beta testing. LOL!

You have more time to play Battlecruiser with all of us now!

Ben Zwycky Posted May 27, 2002 Report Posted May 27, 2002 Ah, Nick, Congrats- a great adventure awaits you I’d say you’re likely to have quite a bit less time than before for computer games. It all depends on how much your girl is into them, but it comes down to priorities. Basically she needs to know that she is the number one earthly priority in your life (which is what she should be if you want to marry her) more than your job, more than your other friends, more than *dare I say it* your computer and BCM/G/TC/O. I guess it’s something you’ll need to talk about beforehand, among many other things. Talk about all your expectations of married life- what you expect to change and what you expect to stay the same in your relationship and lifestyle. It’s best to get as many nasty surprises out of the way beforehand as possible . I’m getting off-topic here (just have recent experience of preparing for marriage and I want to give you all the tips I can), so if you want to hear some more on this, give me an email or something. PS: The guy who wrote this has a very happy wife! (signed: wife) Cheers,
