[QUOTE="joethelawyer, post: 4598063, member: 55764"] There are four members in our group: my brother the DM, me, and two other guys. My brother and I are pretty much available any time. We want to set a firm date to play every week. One of the other guys we have been having a bit of a problem with. We used to pretty much be able to set a fixed date every week, usually a friday or monday night or whatever, excluding holidays, birthdays, etc. of course. This problem guy's wife was always in nursing school at night, so he was always free. We didn't seem to have a problem getting together, except for the normal things most groups run into. Now, there seems to be a complication. She is out of school. The household rule with them seems to be that if she is home, he has to be home. We work our game days around her schedule lately. It doesn't seem to be so much "We never see each other." It seems to be more an issue of lack freedom in a relationship to do your own thing. I don't want the guy's marital issue, if there is one, to affect our game. At the same time, the marital issue, if there is one, is their problem. I don't know how to approach the guy about this, nor would I be the one to do it. I have a well-known complete lack of tact in these sorts of matters. If I approached him, it would be something like "Dude, grow a pair, tell your wife it's game night, and if she doesn't like it, tell her she can kiss your 20-sider. If she gives you any more lip, tell her she's cut off. No more nightly deliveries from Mr. Happy." Of course, I am the single guy in the group. Go figure. Anyway, any ideas on how to approach this thing? Thx [/QUOTE]
