Leaving Significant Other at Home to Game on V-Day?

[takasi]

Our group decided today to cancel our regular Wednesday session this week in honor of our significant others. Well that and the fact that our normal location (a hall) was in use and we were looking for a backup too.

Anyone else canceling their weekly game? Any couples playing D&D tomorrow night instead of the traditional dinner/movie/etc?

Anyone telling their spouse of x number of years to pick a different day for Valentine's this year?

Meh--my wife of 9 years is working, but our game night is Tuesday anyway. We don't generally stand on ceremony, though--especially not for "greeting card holidays"--so she probably wouldn't mind. Besides, I'm so far in the doghouse most of the time that she only keeps me around for one reason at this point, and it sure isn't my money.

My girlfriend and I will both be playing in our WLD game tomorrow. We get to spend time together AND game.

We'll both be gaming.

Well, we were suppose to start our campaign tomorrow....except none of us realized it was, in fact, Valentines Day.

And there's another person interested in playing, so I'm gonna end up spending 4+ hours explaining rules and creating a character. So I'm pretty sure I'm gonna cancel it.

Gaming on that night wasn't even an option. So, we moved it to Saturday and made it an epic all day session!!

Yikes, I wouldn't dare! We're going out for dinner.

We'll be gaming tomorrow....or well, I should say, we'll be roleplaying tomorrow night

Well - the husband and I game together. However, that said, it would largely depend on what V-Day means to you. If it's an important holiday, it's most important to stay home. However, if it's something that you aren't very keen on, it's not a big deal.

If the husband and I did not game together, I wouldn't exactly be pleased if he went off to game without me. But I wouldn't be rabidly angry or anything. Valentine's Day is fun, but it doesn't have any real significance to me. I'd rather celebrate the days that ARE important to us than days that we're told should be important to us.

I try to be thoughtful and sweet all year, so I tell everyone I get involved with that I don't do Valentine's Day...it's the one day of the year they can be sure that I'm not going to do anything special because I resent being pressured to do something that should be done from my own heart, not heavily marketed social pressure.
