I tried this with every girlfriend I had for years. It's not the easiest thing in the world. Copping an attitude to your spouse after she made the effort to try your hobby is only going to end up with her unwilling to keep playing.Also, what is implied here - though not stated - is that the other players used her character as a meat shield in her absence. THis may be why she is so upset. It certainly seems in keeping with the other players as they have been described.She's not necessarily throwing a hissy fit - she may have a legitimate beef.Intraparty treachery can come as a shock the first time you fall foul of it. As a guy who recently had his whole party's quest derailed by a blow in PC who just went around mucking it up for everyone, I know how it can feel.Anyway - even if she has to accept the loss of her character (which is a fact of life in rpgs) maybe you can still be supportive. Also, it might be time for a player audit - are these people really the sorts that you want to be playing with. As far as I'm concerened when I got married I chose to put my wife ahead of a buch of guys I throw dice with every day of the week and twice on Sundays.My 2c.</blockquote>
