[QUOTE="KnowTheToe, post: 401668, member: 1961"] There is no easy solution for this. I love games, particularly war games and RPGs. My wife likes cards (BTW, Oh Hell is my favorite) and board games, but won't play D&D or war games. The problem is, both RPGs and war games take up a lot of time. Unfortunately, I believe these games are more fun when you can play regularly and the only solution that will work out for you is playing less often. I have been married 6 years and have had periods where friends and games have gotten in the way of my relationship with my wife. I had to scale back. We like so many couples both work 40 hour work weeks and only see each other at night, when we are often tired. While we cherish that time together, it is not always quality time. The weekends is when we get real quality time together and if I scheduled a weekly game night on Friday or Saturday, boy, there would be trouble. The same goes for her, if she scheduled a weekly outing with friends on a weekend, I would be pissed to say the least. If you can only meet with your friends on the weekends, you should really not play more than 1 or 2 times a month. I play Sunday nights, which works great for us, most people don't have much scheduled that night. [/QUOTE]
