Why my wife is getting REALLY annoyed with GWX 2.0

[Blacklight]

It's not the fact that I'm playing Silent Hunter III 24-7.
It's... "All ahead *enter speed here*.... "RING RING !!!!!":rotfl:

Some simple advice for marital harmony from old mush then.

1. get headphones sonar pings annoy us and we are playing.

2. always in every circumstance whenever your wife says
"Honey can you.........." Always willingly and instantly
without question hit the pause button and say sure honey
go and do it whatever it is instantly. what happens is that
instead of "dammit you love that game more than me the kids
or real life" you actually end up getting it like this. Observe
after only a few weeks of consistent behaviour and assuming
shes a good woman

SHE WILL GO OUT OF HER WAY TO NOT INTERRUPT YOU WHILE
YOUR PLAYING.

(incredible but true there are dividends to mutually co operative marriages.)

my wife simply shuts my door.

Mush, you are right on the button there, that IS how it works. We have a gender change here 'cos I, the wife, am the gamer and hubs is not, and I think we DO need to be sensitive to our partners because this is essentially a one-person pursuit, and the other one can feel shut out and shoved to the back.

I use headphones when himself is sitting next to me at his computer, but I am careful to instantly remove them if he says anything.

I cant believe it this is like the best thread ive ever typed on now.

Holy smokes that's why I've been kicked out of the bed all weekend

Now by kicked out I don't mean she rolls over and gently says, "Russ, go sleep on the couch" or "Russ, go to the spare bedroom" the minute I lay down. I'm saying I got both legs in my hind quarters.

I'll be taking notes

Lol, yeh this works fine. The last time I saw this happen, I ended up banging my best friend's GF while the friend was happily playing Counter-Strike in my room. :rotfl:Sucker.

It is thier nature.

Well in that case:

add this to the System Requirements for GWX2.0:

Minimal Requirements : A wife that can take a lot..

Recommended : Stay single

Classic :rotfl:
My wife hates the game and I can't blame her. But the prob is not the game. It's me.

Well, I`m too old to worry about what my wife thinks of my sims, actually she has her own laptop, and games to her liking, so rarely bothers me while I`m playing. I also have a good set of headphones, that keeps down any gripes about the game being too loud. I`m also lucky to have a good size computer room all to myself. Puts
