During that two weeks the adventuring group travels a considerable distance from where they left their allies. When I tell this to my friend he suggests that I run an extra game for the two of them to get their characters back with the others. He also enlists two other friends of his to join him for this pick-up game.So, we get together at my house that night, him, his girlfriend and two other friends. The game goes well for about an hour, and then she announces that they have to go. It turns out there is a television program on that she wants to see instead (this was back in pre-VCR days). I offer to let her watch on the extra TV at my house, but that does not satisfy her. My friend just sits there, saying nothing. Both of his other friends and myself are upset, as we had all given up other plans for that night at his request for the game. A few heated words are exchanged with her and they storm out. We don't see him again at the weekly game for almost two years (until after he had broken up with her.)</blockquote>
