Gaming Nags- how many are there out there?

[Harmon]

How many gamers out there have their significant other nagging them about the amount of gaming or gaming related activities?

This can include only significant others- parents don't count, though I will place a voting area for Other which includes everyone not SO.

“You aren’t gaming tonight!”

“I game every Saturday. You know that.”

“Not tonight. I want you to watch some stupid movie with me that you have no interest in while I knit and pay no attention to you.”

“I work hard all week this is what I am doing tonight. If you want we can do that tomorrow.”

My wife is known to nag me for a game. As in "Are you ready to DM yet? I want to play now!"

I hate you

Like sledge says, this poll is missing a fourth option: when your signifcant other asks "why aren't you working on the game? Can we game tomorrow night? I want to level."

Happens to me all the time.

Some of the players I have had in my gaming circle over the years have had this problem. They game one night a week and yet their other halves seem to object or moan about it.

Thankfully I don't have that problem.

No problems. I play every Sunday, but the kids are in that group. I play every other Wednesday, and she doesn't complain. I guess she prefers that to her friend's husbands going out and getting drunk 2 - 3 times a week.

Sorry, don't have this problem. While my wife dosen't play in our games, she is in charge of snacks. We have dubbed her the "Snack Master."

Nope, never been a problem.

I have much the same 'problem' as Sledge. If I so much as hint that I'm bored and trying to find something to do, my boyfriend is rolling a character for a one on one game or asking to do some downtime/roleplay for his character in the game I run for our whole group within five minutes.

I am ashamed to admit that I was once the nagging girlfriend who *hated* the time he spent gaming. Fortunately, after a month or so of this, he took me along one week and I immediately saw the error of my ways

My girlfriend lives in California, and I'm in Sydney. Most of the games I've played in happen in the evening, when she's long in bed (right now, 5 p.m. for me is midnight for her).

Even if she was here, well . . . she's a gamer herself, so.
