Fuse Posted July 21, 2000 Share Posted July 21, 2000 Ok, so I've noticed that most of the people on this forum have wives, girlfriends, etc. I have also noticed that most spend an increadible abount of time playing CM. My girl will be coming back in a month or so and I sincerely doubt that I will have grown tired of playing by that time. SO, what kind of excuses do you use the get away with playing through the night and still being allowed into bed when fatigue, or other "things", overtake you? I feel this to be a VERY important question and would appreciate any comments. ------------------ Upon the fields of friendly strife, are sown the seeds of Victory. ---Douglas McArthur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark IV Posted July 21, 2000 Share Posted July 21, 2000 My GF was looking for a new job. She's not that great at internet searches, so I helped her. I looked day and night. I scoured the net for that job. I was constantly searching. The best jobs are posted at night, you know, after she goes to sleep. Better check- gotta get 'em before those college punks in the morning! Thank god for the Escape key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disaster@work Posted July 21, 2000 Share Posted July 21, 2000 What is this 'free time' of which you speak? I wish to learn more about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killmore Posted July 21, 2000 Share Posted July 21, 2000 Why the heck she wants to spend all the time with you. You need to do what you like too. Make her choose either playing CM or Bar hopping with drinking buddies. She will choose CM (I don't drink so to me choice is obvious) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fiftymicrolitres Posted July 21, 2000 Share Posted July 21, 2000 Haven't had the problem since I don't have the full game, but I think that simple honesty would work. In any event, she's hooked on some games as well (Magic: The Gathering), so as long as the 'Sauce for the goose' parable holds, I figure I won't have a problem. The worst that ever tends to happen by the computer is a few extra calories between the beer/scotch/pizza/indian food. In short, no problem really 5m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorak Posted July 21, 2000 Share Posted July 21, 2000 I've found that working another shift than your wife gives you all the computer time you need. of course you get the "what the hell did you do all day?" phone calls at work some nights.

Holdit Posted July 21, 2000 Share Posted July 21, 2000 "I've found that working another shift than your wife gives you all the computer time you need." Definitely. My other half is a nurse, which means frequent weekend and night shifts. The other angle is that she gets exclusive use of the television while I'm at the PC.

Henri Posted July 21, 2000 Share Posted July 21, 2000 Tell her that you have considered the options, and that playing computer games is cheaper than playing golf or gambling, less harmful to health and cheaper than drinking, and cheaper and less morally objectionable than chasing other women. If she is not convinced, ask her to choose between the five... Henri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dirkd1976 Posted July 21, 2000 Share Posted July 21, 2000 Tell her that you were going to spend the 53 dollars you spent on game at the local strip club on lapdances. Then at the last minute you heard about this game and decided to pick it up. She will be so happy she'll let you play it as much as you want. (well theoretically anyway.........I can't be responsible for any injurys caused to your person after using this response, so your on your own buddy.)

Mark IV Posted July 21, 2000 Share Posted July 21, 2000 Yes, some of you are into some pretty risky approaches ("I was going to chase other women"). In my experience, a crime suggested is a crime committed. That could lead (at best) directly to a conversation about what "everbody" wants from the relationship. I would rather bayonet charge a platoon of Flammpanzers. I say, stick to a) stealth, and bribery. If ya wanna play ya gotta pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Callmeyer Posted July 21, 2000 Share Posted July 21, 2000 Just keep playing the game and ignoring her. Then, when she finally loses her patience and tries to talk to you about your "relationship", keep staring at the monitor and answer all her questions with monotone grunts. Pretty soon you will have all the free time you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
