He then says lets just say its true and you could come back as anyone in the world, who would that be? He replies, I'd come back as my wife and leave me the hell alone....

Good that what ever has been ailing you has not had an effect on your sense of humor. The life of a wargamers wife can sometimes be a bewildering experience.

As my wife has said to me more than a few times... "How you can spend hours pushing those little squares around the monitor is a #%@$@$ mystery to me"

The most notable is the war gamer cop, he plays a lot of games, but his favorite is ASL he has a web/pod cast and sometimes his wife plays games with him (I don't think she plays ASL though).

Status: offline 		The worst part of a marriage, to me as someone with no experience with it, is the thought of possibly having to eventually break up. In fact, that's what will probably keep me from getting married at some point. If the person you love wants you to sign a legal document to prove that love and will continue to love you only then, it's time to get the hell out of dodge IMO. Of course, there are plenty of happy marriages, but in my circle of friends/contacts/relatives, I see mostly the wrecks or the sometimes still burning ruins of what once might've been happy marriages.

Status: offline 		Boys, I have the solution.

My wife has been doing a PhD for the last four years - she spends more time on her PC than I do playing war, gawd bless 'er.

OMG - she's finishing this summer and WITE comes out then....
.....OK, I'm sure some Post-Doc research will be vital too!

(Oh, I guess BTW love and kids have something to do with all this marriage thing - , baby, and take your time with the final submission.)

I have tried to explain about wargames but she does not get it !

Status: offline 		My response/defense to my gaming habit with my wife has been that I could spend several hours playing computer games at home, and which is also a family event often times, or I could go out with the guys god knows where and spend a bunch on drinks. Which one do you think she prefers?

funny, how people who don't know you, will give you a funny look, when you walk into a bar with books and a clip board ! (but I worked nights, so wasn't bad, early mornings, doing my reading, and talking with the old timers

Status: offline 		Thats funny Ron. When I tended bar, I had a guy who sat at the bar with his laptop. Ordered a beer and a water every time and stayed for hours. I'd say look at that babe that just walked in...No head turn, It seemed so gay...
