Well yeah I got a day off today as I thought:

  • Buy her a 3 Season Blue Ray Box Set of her favorite series
  • Got her a laptop so she can facebook on the couch
  • record all the "Idol / Voice of / Talent Crap" Shows all the week
  • For the beta WE, promised to go watch "Breaking Dawn" with her <= worst mistake ever
  • Do more stuff at home than usual
  • Watch daily soaps with her, to play later on

 

Just a few things, want to keep some for later, now what do YOU DO?

 

NOTHING is worth watching Breaking Dawn... Seriously, I'm pretty willing to compromise with my partner in any other respect but certain things are just too girly for me to partake in. Twilight is one of them!!!!! That said I usually find doing more chores round the house helps.

 

Ultimately I have it easy, she needs 8-10 hours sleep a day. I'm fine on 6-8 hours. So about half the week I am up 2 hours before her (not going to bed at the same time is a sure fire way to NOT get laid, girls don't like it when you wake them up I've found... even if it's done subtly with a massage or something). So those 2 hours I use to do house work.... She is then all happy and surprised... I get to pull out the favours.

 

There are other things as well; While she is watching her programs either watch them with her (or pretend to but actually be thinking about more interesting things than who slept with who in desperate housewives :confused: ) or go and do your running, swimming and gym work then. ALWAYS works, she is either cuddled up to you or gets some *alone* time and you cross off some tasks you have to do each week anyway.... Unless you don't exercise, but that's silly because they can argue all they want but all women appreciate a flat stomach and some sort of muscle tone!!

 

Um, let's see... You can always suggest she ring a friend you know she hasn't talked to for a while... Start by asking how that friend is... then suggest she ring her to check up on her friend. Trick with this one is to pick someone who will be on the phone with her for an hour or so... THEN wait 10 minutes before you leave the couch to go play the computer.... BLAM 45 minute session right there and if you plan it right you can finish the short but sweet gaming session and be back just as she finishes her phone call...

 

STILL... NEVER EVER go to see a Twilight movie... Wash the dishes... do the ironing... get her flowers... write her poetry.... take her for a meal... ANYTHING but twilight.

I bought mine an 800$ digital piano with a headset. She had told me sometime how much she liked playing the piano when she was younger.

It will take her at least 4 weeks until the perfectionist in her thinks she is ready to let me listen to a first piece.

 

Also i saved up stuff i knew would make her happy. So know i got a bunch of wildcards.

Like shopping for clothes for me (yes, me, not her. many women LOVE dressing up their hubbys but never get the chance)

I also spend more then usual on fancy dinners.

 

But hey, its give and take :)

im in the same boat as u,

 

she watches all kinds of tv shows, lots of girly ones...so i encourage her to expand into other tv shows and try and get her hooked on those.

 

when ever she wants to have a girls night ill encourage her to have more girls nights!

she is having one tomorrow night, i cant wait for that.

 

Slippery slope.

Dude seriously? Give me the chance to go out dancing with my girlfriend and I'll happily turn a girls night into a general night out where we all (her friends, my friends and both of us) go out.

 

If that fails then it's time to hit town with some good mates and get absolutely trollied.... You can always play TOR when you get back later that night.... though your allignment can shift quite rapidly when you play drunk and companions can go from liking you to hating you :p

 

EDIT:

 

Letting her go on too many girls nights out without taking her out is a bad thing... It's a delicate balancing act.

 

1) You have to let her go on some and not get all defensive or jealous BUT

2) If you let her go on too many or encourage it she might think you don't worry about how attractive she is, or want to make the effort to go out with her, or are that interested which means

3) She will be more tempted to be cheeky (to put it nicely)... especially if her friends think you are neglecting her.

 

SO, don't crowd her but if you get the chance to go out dancing with her or take her for a meal instead of passing her off to her friends... take it.

 

TOR is a game, your GF is a human being who can comfort you, make you happy and support you. GF >>>>> TOR by many many many magnitudes.

This kinda applies to any game really unless its ME she thinks Sheploo is cute... :confused:

 

I can play:

 

A. When shes asleep.

 

B. When shes awake but not in the house.

 

C. When she wakes up wanting "attention".

 

Other than that I can just ignore her shouts of "That game is Sad!" and "You do realise people who play those games are sad" or counter with one simple comeback.

 

"You said "Yes" to my proposal knowing full well that I play 'sad' games"

 

It ends the conversation with a sly smile on her side and we go back to doing whatever (Because the B***h won't go to sleep yet!)

Haha dude, that sounds like a pretty sweet deal. I dont really have a deal. I just get to play whenever she is watching some ****** tv show like 16 and pregnant or when she is as work, or napping or something. And if i do nice stuff like cook her dinner etc.

I'm the missus so it's nothing to worry about. Our buggiest "issue" that keeps us away from the computer is the kids, but we like them so it isn't a huge deal.

 

I'd like to see more men getting their wives hooked on TOR. Those dancing and singing shows suck bigtime

I learned not to play MMO's while completely bladdered.

 

My younger brother once got my first Raven Battleship blown to pieces because he thought it would be cool to attack someone who was undocking... I was passed out on the bed... Yea my first and only experience getting CONCORDED and I wasn't even awake.

I'm screwed, it's now 11pm friday night here in Australia, if I do get in on the first wave it will be at least 1am on Saturday morning. The Saturday morning before Xmas, and I have 3 kids. Which means all day tomorrow I'll be running around like a blue arsed fly xmas shopping, then tomorrow night we are at a bbq from 6pm, which will probably leave me too drunk to see the keyboard when I finally roll in. Sunday I'm just refusing to leave the house and will go to the authorities if needed, citing spousal abuse for making me do more xmas shopping.

Oh and just to cap it off, the kids are now on a 6 week holiday....... I suppose I could get some more accounts and start them gold, sorry credit farming.....

Well yeah I got a day off today as I thought:

"15th start, HAH be smart take the 16th off..."

 

Sooo I am waiting now, and I got bored watching the Timeline over and over again I came up with this.

 

What do you do to keep the lady in line, while you play?

 

All of you in a relationship know what I'm talking about (unles she is also a gamer ofc).

All of those who are not, do not, period people.. you don't!

 

No Derp, I am not talking about your mum...

 

Rules are simple, no:

"yada yada I so cool all my b****es obey"

"my imaginary girlfriend actually makes me play"

"LAWL That's why I'm solo dog!" => no, let's face it, it's because you don't shower and your toothbrush died in cobwebs

 

Here's all the stuff I did, had to do, deals I pulled:

 

  • Buy her a 3 Season Blue Ray Box Set of her favorite series
  • Got her a laptop so she can facebook on the couch
  • record all the "Idol / Voice of / Talent Crap" Shows all the week
  • For the beta WE, promised to go watch "Breaking Dawn" with her <= worst mistake ever
  • Do more stuff at home than usual
  • Watch daily soaps with her, to play later on

 

Just a few things, want to keep some for later, now what do YOU DO?

 

 

baby heres my CC go shopping for a few hours. It works! however remember to set a spend limit first. this keeps her happy for quite a while to be honest.

 

If it didn't work my last option would be to bury her under the patio before my flashpoint started

 

 

you sir are a legend for doing all of that

Ok, I actually read all that this time.

You sir, are whipped. Hardcore. If that's what a real relationship consists of, I don't want it. I'll stick to my bar fun.

 

I'm with this guy. You're a big boy now and you can do whatever you want with your own damn time and money :)

I would never harp on my boyfriend about playing a game, unless it crosses the line to 'haven't showered, gone to work or eaten in days' territory, but I like to think anyone would stage an intervention at that time.
