Players need to get over the idea that the GM can be completely impartial toward every player in the game. Even if you don't have girlfriends/spouses/significant others involved, there's bound to be some kind of relationship that will cause the GM to react more favorably to some players than others. Haven't anyone ever seen a GM treat his brother or his best friend from high school just a little bit better than the other players?Even if there's no other type of relationship going on, a GM is going to find certain players more tolerable than others. And if he likes the guy sitting next to him, while he may not give that guy extra loot or more time in the spotlight, he'll probably laugh more at that player's jokes or listen more carefully to what that player says. Don't expect a GM or player to treat a significant other exactly the same as everyone else. If you expect that you're going to be disappointed. But most GMs are capable of keeping the relationship from taking over the game. Give them a break if occasionally they lose their objectivity when it comes to the significant other. The GM has to spend more time with his girlfriend than you do. Do you really want him to have to sleep on the couch for a week because he killed his girlfriend's PC?  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
