[QUOTE="jollyninja, post: 3057562, member: 3208"] I am not saying that missing a single game night is indicative of a lack of respect but to use one of the innitial examples of poor excuses, why is it that the 39th or 37th day anniversary of the beginning of the relationship could not be celebrated in stead of the 38th? I should have specified that the lack of respect only comes into play for me if it's a matter of scheduling things for game night that could easily be scheduled for another night. And if this is happening, weither it's once of a chronic problem, it irritates me. I game on sunday nights, anything other then watching sunday night football can probably be done another time when you do not have 6 other people expecting you to be somewhere. For my group it's really the only night we can all get together but yes, life intrudes on the implimented timetable on occasion. most holiday weekends, we move it to the extra day off's night so that we can all attend various family functions on the sunday. I do not consider it a respect issue if a person misses a single night, or even repeated or consecutive nights for events that could not have been put off or moved up to a different night.
