Most of the time she lets me play, then she can do her thing (chat with girlfriends, watch TV, clean up, .... ) , and sometimes when she wants me to stop playing she just starts whining, and then it's difficult to shut her up and after some time I mostly give up and stop playing (why don't they just understand that I want to finish a round?) .
But after some time when she had her part of attention I go back and play.
Reason why she doesn't whine to much is because I also love to cook, and every day I cook here a nice and good meal, she's very happy then and I can do my thing all the rest is for her, hehe

She sneaks behind me and either presses ESC or the Sleep button right above it. (This usually happens at the worst times, like in the middle of a firefight, or flying a full chopper).
She does the sexy lingerie too.
EDIT:
...(why don't they just understand that I want to finish a round?)... I feel your pain...

Well, I don't cook, but if I do stuff around the house and spend enough time w/ her, then she lets me play (until it starts all over again).

If Liz is physically there she'll occasionally yell/whine, but her nastiest trick is to stand right next to me and gossip about her girlfriends right into my ear until I agree to get off. Trust me after hearing about how her friend Jennifer's new boss is the world's biggest b-yotch for about 10 minutes, I'm ready to quit.
If she's not there, she'll start calling every 30 seconds on my cell, and then on the landline. One time I unplugged both and she drove over and punched me in the arm. :D
A few weeks ago she saw me looking at my stats and said, "What is that? 85 hours?! You've spent 85 hours on this crap? I don't think you've spent 85 hours on me!"
I said, "Sure I have, but these 85 hours only cost 50 bucks"...heh. That earned me some punches for sure.

This has me thinking BF2 should include an optional stat:
BF2:G/F ratio
Keeps track of how much time you've spent playing BF2 compared to time spent with your other half.
When the game first came out mine was probably like 1.5/1, now it's more like .25/1...ah well, nice while it lasted. :)

Now I can understand her being mad if I was playing a lot but at that time I was only playing about 5 hours a week :cry:

Man do I agree with you about the whining. The "quit being a nerd and spend time with me" or "I am going to pour water on your computer" lines or killing me. I just got engaged so I poured gasoline on her desire to be with me 24/7. So I end up playing on friday at like 2 in the morning when she is asleep and can't call and bug me. I envy the people that get to play on a daily basis. So my question is how the hell do your girl into gaming?!?

Mine will just stand over my shoulder or sit on the edge of my bed and spout off some of the most useless crap I've ever heard in my life. It doesn't help that I'm usually pumped up like FPS Doug when I'm playing, either. Luckily she gets home 2 hours later than I do, so I have enough time to get my daily BF2 fix in anyway. Saturdays and Sundays are a different story all together. Once she dozes off into a nap, I tip-toe to my computer room and fire it up. Once she says the spending time thing I can safely say, "You were sleeping anyway, go back to sleep."
She doesn't think playing the game is very nerdy, but once I log off and check the message boards I certainly hear it.

My wife and I are at a constant stalemate over playing time. Im a night owl shes in bed by 10:00PM she nags if I tell her Im going to play earlier in the evening and when she goes to bed shes pissed that I fire up the computer "YOUR FRICKING SLEEPING AND PISSED AT ME!!" its a tuff go right now. Shes insanely jealous of the computer because I spend some time (maybe 8 hrs a week) online but when I spend time with her she doesnt know what she wants to do. I keep reminding her that before we were married she knew I was a major gamer back to PONG and she never had a problem when I would be playing games and she would be on the couch reading or watching a movie. Its a tuff go, guerilla gaming I play 15 min here 15 there just to get my fix to the weekend...horrible......

I get this all the time. My answer is always: "Yes, I do love my computer more than you. You knew this when you married me." This is always followed by a swift slap to the back of my head, letting me know that it's time to stop playing.

This is soo cool and funny to read. It's good to know that there are fellow nerds trying to find the perfect balance between home life and nerd life.
I'm 30 with a full time job, girlfriend and a new born daughter, my girlfriend is perfect she knows i like gaming and i play on week days after work, and then when the weekends come along we do stuff together etc etc. But now we have our baby daughter it is less difficult to stop playing BF2 coz it's great playing with our little angel.
Anyway, good to see there are other couples out there.....

My girl used to whine and guilt me in to getting away from the PC. Now, we've actually worked out an agreement where on Tues., Thurs, and Sunday nights we spend apart from eachother. Gametime, baby. Although most of the time she can't stick to her own plan, and wants to be togther. :/
BTW, I only play a few hours a week, and my GF has the expectation that I'm going to spend some time gaming or web designing or whatever. We've spent a year together, and I think she's starting to come to terms with it. :)

I have an agreement with my wife. As long my houses chores are done, she let me play. I also have to be totally present for her the friday evening, the saturday during 'till 11 pm and sunday 'till 6 pm. The rest of the time she let me play as long i wish. Of course, once in a while i have to give her special attention (no pun intend :D ), but its a small price to pay for the freedom she give me. And it have worked well for the last 4 years, so i really cant complain.

My GF likes to do her own thing so my BF2 time is perfect for her. However, if she needs to use the comp or wants to do something, all she has to do is ask and I will say "let me finish this round." She has actually gotten pretty good at predicting how long a round will take by looking at the tickets left and the number of players. :)

My wife does a two prong assault which over the years (2 ;) ) she has perfected. First she starts to whine, but i play with nice headphones so i can hear her, so then if that doesnt work she pulls out the big guns.. she sits on my lap! or hangs her hair over my face.. and she has incredable timing, it will always be when i'm flying my BH full of squad mates and she makes me crash! sometimes i get TK punish kicked and then she just laugh's... goood lord!
But i love her so i normally get and then spend time with her, which is mostly waiting for her to get ready then the rest of the night waiting for her to decide where she wants to go.... if i'm being a but i just keep responding are you sure to each of her suggestions and it drives her nuts because she cant make up her mind bwahaha!
But we have worked out that i get to play right after i get back from work for 2-3 hours if i wish and then on weekends i can play for as long as she sleeps (i get up at the crack of dawn!) which sometimes turn's into 10-12 hours computer fest's!

My girlfriend does not mind me playing games. She knows it one of the things I like to do to relax, and because she also used to be a gamer. She's played games like Duke Nukem, Doom, and lots more.
Sometimes she doesn't need to tell me that I've been playing too much, what she does it sits on my lap and starts kissing me and we go on from there...
Edit: BTW, she's interested in learning how to play BF2!

I've been warning my girlfriend for the past six months that once the game was out I would be playing ALOT. She doesn't mind since I only play for a couple of hours a night, and when she's ready for bed I quit so we go to bed together. Occasionally she will be in a ball breaking mood and will come in and start hitting buttons on the keyboard saying "what's this do?" and watch me freak out.

My Wife and I also have an agreement. I have 1 night per week, and all day Sunday to game for as long as I want. I get home before her, so I can usually get an hour or so in each day after work also. Usually, it gets streched into 2 nights and Sundays. She's usually ok with it because she'll have some chick-flick tv show recorded that she wants to watch.

Hah! Whatsup Sapper? Thanks for the siggy graphic, btw. It has gotten some miles.
So this topic is actually real enlightening. Same issues for me and my live-in gf Sarah. I told her for months before BF2 came out: that's what I'd be doing for my 'hobby'. She rolls her eyes alot, and to answer the question: what does she do to stop it, she'll just sit there and watch me, or talk about stuff, and then ask: "Sorry, did I get you killed?". She is so sweet about it, though, I'm lucky.
At least some guys' hobbies have them being out of the house and/or spending lots of cash. With my hobby, I am at home most of the time, occasionally screaming out: "NO WAY!" or "G-D it!" haha FPS Doug.

The *best* thing she's come up with is when she brought a few of her girlfriends over and *all of them* hopped out of their clothes and onto my lap. :) I thought my computer chair was going to fall through the floor: 5 x 110 pound girls + me = 700+ pounds!

Now when she is busy on aforementioned wine, movies and cell phone I proceed to interupt and F^&% with her "how long ya gonna be?" "who ya talking to?" "why won't ya talk to me?" she says "come on dude I'm on the phone, not now."
there ya go...... and let it be when Imma gaming......

I get the cold shoulder from my WIFE when I go to bed. Then when I get off she doesn't talk.

I love her to death though.

Probably the biggest waste of close to 3 hours in my life. A chick that cheats on her fiance and dumps him for an old boyfriend . . . now that's uplifting and makes me feel all warm inside :(

I've been a long time lurker here, but I had to sign up to post in this one LOL.
Wife's newest tactic is sneaking up behind me and blinding me, but you can all do what I did. 1. buy her a TIVO or DVR, just realise you wont be able to watch TV anymore.
2. If your married like myself, just get her knocked up. MMV but mine was in bed by 8 or 8:30(being pregnant takes a lot out of ya). Now your gauranteed 7-8 months of gaming bliss. Watch out though what they say about pregnancy hormones is true!
(disclaimer to #2) Depending on Wife your gaming time can signifigantly decrease after the 7-8 months. :laugh:

my wife is pretty cool about it, I must say. I have been a hardcore MP gamer since Medal of Honor several years ago, so she is used to it by now I am sure. heh. I just try to make sure I got everything done that needs to get done, and that my girls (4 1/2 and 8 ) are all situated & taken care of for the night.
I think it's a larger extension of the relationship's health to begin with. like, she's really happy and so am I, so, she's fine with me gaming it up on Ventrilo with my team dudes. the other thing I stress (and you other married dudes can use this and buy me a virtual beer :D ), is that:
"hey honey, I am HOME. My hobby keeps me home, where you know where I am. I am not out at the pub with friends, leering at other women, not drinking and driving, etc. I am home when you need me, not out golfing, or bowling, or playing cards and gambling."
she understands. :D

my wife is cool most of the time. i solved the problem years ago ,
when i upgrade my pc she gets all my cast offs into her pc. we have 2mb cable and lan connection so she gets to play too if she like. she was a fantastic medic for me back in the MOH online days, but since descovering yoga and birth of our daughter 18months ago, she dont feel the need to frag the feck outta you guys any more.
now and then (if ive bin good) i get her suprising me in her princess laya gold bikini and neckchain... i do try and land b4 leaving if im flying tho.

LMAO. I'm right there with you too. Your response was funnier tho.

Well my psycho ex stopped me playing DC by cutting every single lead attached to my PC. Monitor cable and power cable, wireless key and mouse receiver, all the leads for my 5.1 speakers, network cable etc....
Now I can understand her being mad if I was playing a lot but at that time I was only playing about 5 hours a week :cry:
My current g/f does not mind as I only see her at weekends (she lives in Surrey)
You should have cut all her clothes. Good to see you got rid of that nut.
My wife actually thinks its cool when she sees how good this game looks so I dont get much slack. When I played CS, that was a different story :rolleyes:

Where can i find a chick that plays too. See i have had 3somes and stuff. Pretty looking girls in bed but now its getting boring so I need to settle down and find me a game playing chick.

Yuck, how can you kiss your wife knowing she had your **** (And maybe even some of the resulting juices) in her mouth?? Eeeeew.

Whats your member of the fairer sex's way of stopping you from playing? be it girlfriend/wife/sister/mother.
Married for 10 years. My wife still has a kicken body. So she just comes in while I am playing turns out the light then goes down town for about 7 minutes. Then she proceeds to get naked and lay on my office couch and hike that *** up in the air. Well... hell... what else am I gonna do. I kicked her out.... jp...
I usually have my way with her then try to do my best to get back online..lol
usuall the gf will just read, then if i get bored i will go in and visit her. Or she will watch a movie... then i get off real fast, i love movie time. I've seen about the first 20-30 mins of a lot of movies... after that... well... use your imagination.

or to allow our son to eat (we play on LAN)
She realized you love BF2 more then her and now waits for you to get on the computer so she can run down the street and have sweaty relations with Ned "the cool guy" who has time to pleasure her in ways....well you get the point.

The other day.
My wife says;
"That Game is more important!"
I say;
"That TV is more important!"
If she decides that the Internet goes off. I decide, cable goes off. Fair and square.
She never argues with me. She has her time, I have my time. TV is hers, PC is mine. When free time, TV makes me fall asleep, and she knows that. As long as we love each other, and there for each other forever. That is more important. When she really wants me off the PC, she will ask and I will, also vise versa when I want something. We do have moments for each other. We are not young anymore. ;)

ok well i KNOW im 1 of the lucky 1's ..
My wife is a gamer as well . she is mad into PS2 + she likes FPS ( pc ) games as well . She was an Americas Army fan for a long ltime until all the kiddies started to join up and ruin the game with their cheats .ect...
so she doesnt give me any grief at all . its nice to play from 20:00 until 02:00 and not hear a single word about it ...
:D
but on the other hand i have a friend that has a girlfriend and she is on his case all the time . if he checks his mail she is ripping her hair out that he is on the PC and not paying attention to her : FFS that would suck .
+ another firend has just paid ( built his PC ) $5,300 USD on his machin to watch films + game . MONSTER machine , and he gets to play max about 1 hours a day..
OMG that is horrible, i tell him but WTF can one do about it .
he says cash in the wife for another PC ..LOL crazy brits

My wife gives me absolutley NO GRIEF when it comes to gaming. We have been married for 6 years, and shortly after we started dating I started playing a little game called EQ. Well needless to say, I started playing way to much, and she began to give me grief about it daily. One day, she said, "I am so sick of you playing EQ all time. I dont know how much more I can take. You need to get out of the house more" So, I looked her right in the eye and said, "you know honey, your right. I am gonna quit it." I turned off my pc and spent the rest of the night with her. The next day, She suggested we go out to the movies after work.
" Sorry honey", I said "I'm gonna go grab a few beers with guys and watch the game." " Ohh, ok" was all she could muster. I got home about 2 am that night. The next morning she woke me up around noon, so we could go to the mall. " Sorry babe, Im playing golf with Ryan and Bill." hmmmmmm.....
This went on for a week until It climaxed with me stumbling home drunk at 5 am, after another night out with guys. The next day she suggested, maybe I should just hang out more at home with her. So thats exactly what I did. I never left her alone. I would ask her a million questions about what she was doing, where she was going etc. After a week of that. She encouraged me to start playing EQ again :)
7 years later and not a single word about my gaming time :)

YEpp i can relate to this .. we used to play just about everyday when AA was in good shape . but then she slowly moved over to PS2 . which is fine by me .. PS2 is fun but for me its the PC + FPS that tickles my toes ..
but its funny to see that maybe 40% of us have understanding women .. i mean WTF how many people SIT infront of the TV everynight around the world showing them adverts ( semi brain washing )1 after another and noone thinks this anything of this . but man if it comes to PC gaming then people cannot understand.. in short i have a friend that is not into computers at ALL , when they stop by for dinner parties and a few other friends as well , he always has some negative remark about my time spent at the computer ( IM a programmer as well ) and how i play these KIDS games .. while the rest of the friends that are over are mad gamers as well so we win the argument in a few minutes ..but its not who is right , its just what type of intertainment we choose . i choose PC games =FPS to fill up my late nights .
some choose films or TV shows -<-- that for me isnt happening . i dont watch TV , only films or the olympics . but here in sweden ATM we only have 4 channels and most of the time its just crap . so i dont use/watch it ..

My wife was cool once I introduced here to the SIMS. Sometimes it's me that's lonely, well before BF2 came out and everyone had stopped playing soldner.
I do get the, "why don't you marry your computer?" I respond with , "Why buy the cow when the milk is free."
I often have to do the lay down when she goes to sleep, then try to get out of bed without waking her. All in all shes a sport about it. She wants to play BF with me, but her machine can't cope. She's hot though, so I don't have a problem getting out of game.

My wife is pretty understanding about my game time, although I can't play before the kids go to bed which is usually around 7.30-8.00pm. I'm happy about it since I wouldn't be able to play anyway with the kids swinging on my computer chair.
I tried that once before when she was away and almost got the Purple Heart for my efforts in trying to play while trying to break the kids up from fighting with each other.
