[QUOTE="Treebore, post: 4131675, member: 10177"] Elf Witch your on solid ground and I even congratulate your friend for going her own way no matter what her husband does. I ma sorry your first run at being a DM is going so rough for you, but it sounds to me like you are being an excellent DM. I would say your bending over backwards way too much, but when good and best friends are involved thats what you do. I still think your friend has a lot of issues he is refusing to deal with and that is why he is getting stressed by a game. Plus, if he is used to DMing/running the game, he is probably having problems adjusting to another DM's style and approach. Face it, a lot of DM's DM all the time because they like their way of running the game. Bottom line is I think you are being a very good DM and one heck of a good friend to your friends. Its time for your friend to step up and do the same for you and his wife. He needs to talk to someone and let a lot of his stress out. He seems to be getting selfish, and that is usually because they feel like they are doing a lot of sacrificing without enough payback/appreciation/however he looks at it. [/QUOTE]
