[QUOTE="Zarthon, post: 403411, member: 2007"] Hi I'm Zarthon's better half.....:o) I must say that I reacted very much the same as your wife does. I would generally sulk and complain that he never spent any time with me,and if he even dared to say the word "D&D" boy the doo-doo really hit the fan. Needless to say I was just plain nasty! . But He never gave up and he finally invite me to watch a session, and I can tell you I haven't looked back. From my side I would say she is a bit jealous about your relationship with your friends, hell I was! But you need to understand D&D is very alien to some and in a way quiet frightening. Of course your marriage comes first as some have stated but a marriage is a two way street, this needs to be pointed out to her. My advise to you, invite her to a session, get her to read some good fantasy novels, spend some time with her as well as your gaming buddies,have them over for supper ect. Let her get to know them a little more and she can see that they are just normal people. In the beginning I also thought " My god what will my friends think of me playing D&D?" but you know what, I'm doing something that I enjoy, Maybe she will find it enjoyable, maybe not. Good luck to both of you Hope you work this out Taipan (one kick-ass druid!) [/QUOTE]
