EVE General Discussion

Detente works best.

She has "Real Housewives of Orange County"

I have "Eve."

I agree not to aggro RHOC.

She agrees not to aggro Eve.

If Detente is broken MAD is in place (Mutually Assured Destruction). Either of us can downgrade cable bundle getting rid of RHOC channel and strangling bandwidth.

Peace ensues.

I like NCIS, Criminal Minds, Hawaii 5-0, Rookie Blue and a host of other similar shows myself. Criminal Minds is getting a bit old though.

We all need our own space (no pun intended) in a relationship. If she can't allow you to have that space, it's time to seriously reconsider your position.

I would start the game and she would call me, I'd answer but get no response so I go to see what she wants. She asks me if I want a coffee, this isn't because she couldn't answer me while I was on the PC, it was just a ruse to get me away from it. I return to my game and she calls me again 2 minutes later, again, no reply from her when I answer. A minute later, I see her in the garden mowing the lawn in a real huff because I have not offered to do it for her. The main reason is because I only mowed it myself yesterday and it doesn't need cutting again. Another ruse to try to make me feel guilty about letting her do the hard work. That night I get the cold shoulder because I left her to do the job that didn't even need doing. It was just an excuse to be angry with me for playing my game.

I do a very stressful job and I play various games depending on my mood when I get home. A FPS to kill some animated sprites and vent my frustration on them harmlessly rather than exploding when my family says something that I'd normally just shrug off. Not being able to have my own space to vent my frustration and aggression built up over the day meant I blew up into a rage when she decided to wind me up further.

After careful consideration, I am now divorced and single and able to play as often as I damn well please. I am now 54 years old and I can't see the rest of my life being any different. My view of women now is that they drain your wallet, your energy, your time and they'd drain your very soul if you allowed them to. I'm happier now I am single than I ever was when I was married. I can do what I want, when I want and how I want without the constant nagging... It's pure bliss.

Well this doesn't seem right...someone needs to be nagging you a bit. "Pure bliss" isn't natural!!! Now be responsible and submit yourself to some nagging MR!!! ;-)

You've got more chance of seeing Chuck Norris become a pacifist.


Yeah, I know that one. Normally the lvl5 crying accompanies the "you never do anything for me" routine. Yeah, that's why I just spent the last 3 hours bored out of my skull following you around New Look so you can pick the most expensive outfit to wear only once before consigning it to the wardrobe until you finally throw it out to the charity shop. Be it known that it was my hard earned cash you were spending there and while it made you look good, I don't think the moths in the wardrobe look quite the same in it .

And you have the audacity to call my game a waste of money

Oh my goodness, this is like MY wife!! And the boobs...oh, the boobs...sometimes, pressed right into my face. They're the equivilant of a pair of Shadow Serpentis Warp Scrambler on a fully skilled Lachesis, and that's without the bit about her just tackling me, no matter what. <3

<--- Wife

Aggro consists of:

"Honey, I need a beer/drink/munchies."

or

"Honey, I pulled Enemies Abound again, come help me"

Although tbh sometimes also make him come play with me in other games too :P

(edit) To be clear, this is me, bugging him :P we are not your traditional family ^_^

HAHA The only thing more powerful on Earth than Chuck is a wife with a Level 5 temper!

A wise man in a fit of morning rage at work once told me:

Ya only get one good week , Moe. First, ya have the PMS week were you can't stand the loony broad. Then comes the week of the rag where she lays in bed and gives ya dirty looks. When that's over ya have a week of awkward making up because you have to make believe you ALSO do things wrong....then ya get a good week. That's all there is to a marriage.

An old eve freind of mine who has long since quit eve, used to refer to it as 'Girlfriend SCRAM' .

At least his was a 'GF' and not the wife variant like mine which is alot worse i can tell you.

But if you've got the whole package kid + wife / gf, then my sympathy's for you.
