How do you guys get rid of your gf/wife/lover when you want to play eve?

All my friends were online yesterday, I wanted to fly around and shoot people but the damn gf wanted to get dinner. Then she wanted to procreate. By the time she left it was 2300 and I had to sleep because work in the morning. This occurs about every other day.

I just want to play EvE all day. How do you guys get rid of the significant other problem?

If you shop around you can get a cut-rate divorce lawyer, and/or prostitute. Either will work.

It is possible to tank wife agro... even if only for a limited time.

Sexy time agro.... that my friend...is impossible to tank.

Confirming I have dropped a fleet mid roam due to "DC" because of sexy time agro.


Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Get her an account.

Loss is meaningful. Therefore is the loss of meaning likewise meaningful. It is the source of all trolling.

Get rid of her. Get more EVE accounts. It'll be cheaper that way.

Worked with another sandbox-MMO... too good actually. Now she's scared of getting addicted (again).

Also, somehow I feel Eve has a hard time with girls. It does not really favor casual gameplay.

And, it needs to be said, eve in stations would help too.

Wife/girlfriend aggro is like an IRL gate gun - it never misses and the damage just keeps on increasing. Don't GCC on her and you'll have no problem.

Do the same as you would with anyone else: Set limits and expectations up front.

"I'm going to play Eve for the next three hours, please don't interrupt unless it is important."

Ta-da, done. If you use this in moderation and your spouse isn't some kind of possessive crazy super needy psychic vampire, things will be great. If your spouse can't give you a few hours to yourself from time to time then

Also this smells like you are trying to confess something.

Pretty simple, in my case:

If I really wanted to play EVE all day I'd be alone (and broke, and lonely). Instead, I married a woman who is an avid gamer herself. Her time modding and playing Skyrim is my time playing EVE, broadly. When she walks into my study with that little smile on her face, I safe up, log off, and forget what I was doing for a while.

Either live alone so you can act like you live alone, or live with someone else and act like you live with someone else. If you're unhappy with your current arrangement, find a way to change it.

I bought my girlfriend an Ipad & gave you a gift card for $100 on Itunes. She bought alot of worthless apps, which I can't understand why she likes them. It keeps her busy enough for my Eve time.

**** yeah Finland.

Seriously though, being alone and miserable is much better than getting wife aggro in the middle of pewpew.
