bugging wife

If the TW game has got to the stage where it's taking over your life, and you prefer to play the game instead of engaging in "bedroom sports" with your wife/girlfriend, then it has got to the "beyond reason" stage.

Just in case you ever consider refusing...

Please don't give me any more reasons to believe I have the god given right to kill stupid people, and no longer care enough for my own well being to restrain from exercising that right for the good of society.

Thank you.

If she does this on a regular basis, you will need to regain the initiative. If she gets you into the bed, you will be stuck since no doubt she will want to cuddle afterwards. So instead, take her earlier in the evening. Make it look spontaneous, like you have to have her then and now. It not only will make her feel wanted and add a little spice, but it will also be too early to spend the rest of the evening in bed. If you do the job right, she'll be satisfied and should leave you in peace for a late night gaming session. It is possible to have your cake, eat it, and still play video games, but you have to work at it.

If you have children, the timing might be more difficult. Can't really ravish your woman on the kitchen table with kids running around. More cunning will be necessary to overcome these obstacles.

And, whatever you do, DO NOT let her figure out/tell her what you are doing. Women generally don't like the fact that a boyfriend/husband can have fun for long periods of time without them involved, and can become jealous of the computer. If she clues in on what you are doing, she will put a stop to it and you will need to find a new tactic.

Hope this helps, and welcome to the .Org!

rofl that was amuzing to read yea we got a kid 2 year old boy he wont be happy about an early sleep

This isn't a difficult situation. In fact its a no-brainer. In fact, with a 2 yr old you probly need to take advantage of every opportunity.

No, the really sucky situation is the "stop playing on the computer and sit with me whilst I watch 3 hours of X Factor/Pop Idol/Insert mind-numbingly tedious reality TV of choice".

One day (when I grow a pair

) I'll suggest if she wants to sit with me, she sit next to me watching as I expand Bactria from a Eurasian backwater to an Eastern superpower.

**Avicenna** · 10-11-2006, 16:28

the Eastern superpower

BTW, the thread's great. Got me actually LOLing

That is the nightmare situation. I have heard of cases where the wife watched "Big Brother" for hours and forced the husband to do the same. As a result his campaign suffered. This is in fact cruelty. Imagine the scenario:

Wife, loudly: "Are you watching or what?"

Husband: "whaaa... oh yes, I'm engrossed dear, totally engrossed... (...now where was I, oh yes camels. If I take the sinai next, charge camels uphill at the enemy's nubian spearmen, build a trader, and 80% farmland...)"

Wife: "HAHAHA... did you see that"?

Husband "ummm... oh yes! hahaha... (next I'd have to annex Ireland, but I haven't worked out how to get there yet...)

Wife: "Oh my god, they're going to... oh no they're not, oh HAHAHAHA! oh noooooo that was harsh! Hey are you watching?"

Husband: "(....hmmm camels, nizaris, if only....) Oh yea terrible... (now if I can retake Syria, charging his camels with my peasants should do it...)

Wife: "you're not watching are you?"

Husband: "(...camels...) whaaat?

Wife: "exactly..."

Husband: "Exactly what? (...desert archers, siege or asssault, and well now ghazis!)

Wife: "Forget it ok?"

Husband: "Forget what?"

Wife: "Nothing... JUST GO AND PLAY YOUR STUPID *BLEE - BLEE - BLEEP* GAME!"

*DOOR SLAMS*

Wife exits

*sounds of TV upstairs*

Husband: "(...camels...)"

*lunges for the pc*

And the solution? Simple.

Wife, loudly: "Are you watching or what?"

Husband: "GAH!!"

End of.

Big Brother...

Ok, I'm against death penalty, with one exception: the makers and all the participants of this *** self-censoring *** program

**drone** · 10-11-2006, 16:26

Not as amusing as this exchange though. Can't believe I missed this when first reading the thread.

Let us know how that goes, seriously.

PS. And good luck with that, Mount Suribachi. Of course, the best solution to this situation is to get your better half addicted to a video game herself. But not too addicted...

A pie-worthy sentiment.

**Lucjan** · 10-12-2006, 23:44

I have a completely different situation, but still just as much of a pain.

See, I love my games, and I love my girl...but my girl loves "games" too.

I hope I've found the solution (went and bought a brand new gaming laptop) so that when she's, like someone already said, *shudders* playing sims or something equally non-destructive, I can just plop down on the laptop and no longer need to subject myself to the wretched filth that comprises just about everything intended to be 'entertainment' on tv anymore.

To think, I spent years wheening that pc into a destructive world conquering total war powerhouse, now half the week it spends its time cooking pancakes and upping creativity levels by painting the same exact picture over and over again.

Thank god for the laptop! My new baby.

Thats brilliant.

I think M-O is looking for responces with this thread (Being a proffessianol troll, I'd no).

I was suprised reading it however how poorly you guys manage your time. I currently have two girl friends (And we do it a LOT), attend college, play baseball, and am working on two RTW mods and a fan mission for the THIEF game.
I have no problem finding time (Not even in the summer when I work).
You guys have to spend less time on the couch and figure out what is important in life!

P.S. I play RTW about 6 hours a week.
