For the past six months I've had problems with my players. They are all good guys, there's a great harmony and we seem to enjoy gaming. But the schedules that they impose really make me tear my hair out.
One of the players has said that he will never play if there's a day off. This also includes eves of such days. So no Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays ever. Also the other player has ruled out weekends. Now Easter is coming and try to get us to play during that time when people generally have nothing but time to kill (places are closed), but "no".
What we have here is the girlfriend/boyfriend-dilemma. Both players are dating and they spend every second they can to be with their partner. I'm involved in a long-distance relationship and I've never understood this kind of "if we don't stare each other all the time we're gonna die"-style of dating. In my opinion these kinds of relationships are frankly doomed because the strong pace of the relationship is bound to slow down at some point and it's going to be hard to adjust to the fact that the other person is no longer willing to stare at your face 24/7/365.
So we only play after normal working days. I work 8 hours a day and it pisses me off that I know that there's never ever a chance of having a Saturday of roleplaying. Now I have to choose between not playing or working a full day and then roleplaying the whole evening. I'm afraid to bring up this problem with my players because... you know... love is blind.
Please tell me I'm not the only one with these sort of problems.
