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

[Davelozzi]

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

My wife and I are going out on Friday, but that's only because we'd rather enjoy a nice dinner out when we don't have to deal with the hassle of a pre-set menu and V-day crowd. We'll probably spend this evening together anyway, but more because she just go back to town from a business trip than for any sense of celebrating Valentine's. Gaming wise, there is no issue as my campaign has been on an unfortunately long hiatus as I've been too busy with other stuff to get a session prepped.

I'm single and game on Sundays and Mondays, not Wednesdays.

So, neither.

Takasi is risking the dog house treatment if he's going to avoid his wife and game.

Whatever.

Well, I did, but then the rest of you wimped out on me.

Hey, I was up for running a one shot (or even more Savage Tide) since the DM didn't want to find a new location, unlike someone else in our group...

My S.O is currently the DM for the group, so no problems

Did you like that?

The thing is that we're living together raising our son. We aren't a couple anymore. She makes that clear on a regular basis.

Of course, if *I* don't treat *HER* that way, WWIII happens.

Some things just get old.

I feel bad for your situation -- that must really stink. Mostly, I feel bad for you son. I will send mental thoughts of peace and tranquility to your world.

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?

My D&D group plays every Wednesday night from 6 to 10 PM. However, we are all adults - mostly in our 30s with professional jobs - and married. So, we decided to cancel tonight's game and instead spend time with our wonderful wives.

I am starting the The Red Hand of Doom module next week and I look forward to the game.

Happy gaming folks.

I don't get to play during the week, so it's not an issue. But if it were, I don't think my wife would have a problem with it. I'm kind of annoyed by Valentine's Day. She absolutely HATES it. She's pretty frugal, and has a problem with the "corporate holiday" thing. We'll likely just snuggle or something.

On a side note: one of the cooler things about being married? Indoctrinating future gamer kids. BWAHAHAHA!

Don't game on Wednesdays, so it's a non-issue. But if it were I'd still be spending time with the gf. I'd rather we save our money, but this kind of sappy thing makes her happy. And whatever makes her happy makes me happy. (I say that with zero sarcasm )

I choose the Neither option. My wife and I work at the same company, only she's in management and works first shift and about an hour into 2nd shift. I work 2nd shift then stay up all night to get her up for work in the morning. Weekdays, I get to see her for a total of about an hour and a half each day. Since Valentines has fallen on a weekday, it takes away both time with the wife or for gaming or for both options.

Too Bad. I did not want to anger my wife. I'm whipped. See you at next game if I recovered enough next wednesday.
