Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cadfan" data-source="post: 4598813" data-attributes="member: 40961">The implication I took from it is that she graduated from nursing school, and now works as a nurse, which often means working nights and weekends.  I took "if she's home" to indicate her work schedule.  The stuff about whether its a need to be with his wife, or a lack of freedom, is Joe's impression, and I do not view it as trustworthy in this instance. Affecting my interpretation of that impression are three things: 1. The fact that the OP doesn't actually say that this guy is missing games, or that they can't play.  The OP is just upset that he can't schedule a regular day of the week, not that he can't game at all.  When viewed in comparison to the friend's interest in being with his wife, scheduling uncertainties that have not yet managed to be a problem (save Thanksgiving weekend) don't rate. 2. The fact that the OP says that he's free most nights.  This suggests that they CAN get together and play, he's just offended that he can't schedule a regular week night. 3. The fact that the OP called his friend the "wussy" in the relationship.  That bespeaks a certain... frat boy attitude that views the incursion of women into his ability to hang out with his friends when and how he wants as some sort of attack. I'd find it offensive if my friends told me that they couldn't deal with ad hoc scheduling so that I could, you know, have a healthy marriage.  My interest there vastly outweighs theirs.  And in the meantime I already find it offensive that people are discussing whether this woman is a domineering harpy, or whether this guy is, I quote, "p-whipped," because he's making something that is extremely likely to be a very reasonable decision which his friends admit they could very easily accomodate if they could just be bothered to do so.</blockquote>
