[QUOTE="rkwoodard, post: 4489380, member: 33228"] [b]I feel for you[/b] Hi, Yep, social interaction/real life can be a real pain in the nether regions. I am down to gaming a bit via email and 1 face to face every few months (4-6 months)...... All because my group became friends outside of gaming. What begin as 5 players in high school in the mid-80s, has turned into 3 of us still being local and 1 new guy who has only been part of the group for about 10 years, plus my wife. However, we have all become friends as we all got married and started having kids. We started hanging out socially and in general enjoyed ourselves. Then, in the winter of 06, the wives of the other 2 long-term players decided that monthly social get-togethers at rotating houses would be fun. And it was for about 6 months. Then I realized, hey we are not gaming. I proposed that we my wife and I (she games remember..the only wife to do so) would host D&D get togethers on our months. That is fair, right? playing D&D every 3 months? Nope, hurt feelings. I have tried everything, but the other wives hate our gaming. My wife even arranged a D&D get together for my 41st birthday to break in 4th edition. AND THEY GOT THEIR FEELINGS HURT. Sorry for my ramble. I really am. But I write all this too say, that real life drama can really stink. RK [/QUOTE]
