Will I still love my girlfriend in 4th Edition?

This post wins the 4e drama wars.

I already play a monthly fee to have a full girlfriend experience (movies, dinner, gifts)
Why not paying a monthly fee for something really relevant like D&D?
D&D will be with me for my entire life, giving me pleasure, entertainment and fun.
I can't know for sure about my girlfriend.

A friend of mine usually says: Nothing is better than sex. D&D is better than nothing.

I've heard that you can't convert girlfriends between 3.5e and 4e. It was just too much work.

Once 4th Edition comes out, how different will my life be? Will I feel and think differently?

I ask because I think I've found the person I want to spend my life with now, but I am concerned that my old emotions and experiences won't port over correctly to the new edition. Will our love be compatible with the streamlining of character choices and pared down stat blocks, or will efforts at converting to the new system be fruitless? With the more limited array of magic items and buffs, will my personal qualities still mesh with hers so perfectly?

Will the Digital Initiative require me to pay a monthly fee to enjoy the easy companionship and continued peace of mind my relationship has brought me since the advent of 3.5? In a world with at least one core race removed and even certain base classes no longer supported, does a love like ours make sense anymore? Will living with her continue to make me more thankful every day to have found a companion whose happiness is so contagious, or will Star Wars Saga style static defenses eliminate the variety that gives our relationship its spark?

I need to know, because if not, I think I need to start planning to move out before the 4E PHB comes out in May and our former love begins to seem cloying and stale. That, or maybe-- just maybe-- I'll retire my dark elven archmage for good and try to make things work by getting into a non-d20 rpg, like one of those narrative games with the Jenga blocks.

In any case, if a representative of WotC could contact me regarding these changes ASAP, I would appreciate it. Whatever the answer, I have some big decisions to make.

Your girlfriend is getting an "extreme makeover". She'll be more fun, easier on the eyes, your friends will like her a lot, and she'll have a new online girlfriend that you can hang out with 24/7 with no guilt of cheating.

But in many ways she is the same old gal you've dedicated your life to. You'll spend about the same as you always have on her. Sometimes she is frail like paper and other times rigid like plastic. If you love her a lot she'll fill your house with joy and your bookshelves with hours of enjoyment.

Ok, now I'm sold.

"I'd like to order one girlfriend, please."

"Certainly sir. Paper or plastic?"

 

[Kid Charlemagne]

Dude, your girlfriend is totally broken.

Sometimes she is [...] rigid like plastic.

Excellent - she'll still be pleasantly bendy.

Ok so if we are locking down satire etc how does this crap make the cut? Perhaps because it isn't poking fun at 4E but people who criticize 4e instead. Balance please mods balance.

I hear things will be spicier with the different things she's learned to do with weapons.

But it remains to be seen how she'll get the shaft....
