In Reply to: Here's a poll question for you all: How many of you are maintaining a relationship with the opposite sex, and how does your mad MUD hours affect this relationship? (I'd like to see the IMM response on this one) NT posted by SumYunGi on August 22, 2000 at 19:28:00:

But she knew that me playing games was sorta part of the package when she met me.

We had a few problems when we were only dating, but we worked them out.

It's really just a matter of moderation and some common sense:
Night of your anniversary? Uh, guess I won't be playing tonight.

But then, my wife is awesome. We watched Monday Night Football
together last night. We watch Laker games together all the time.

In return, I try to be a good husband. Do my half of the house-
cleaning (she works too, it's only fair) *waits for a "wuss" comment
from the peanut gallery*

Mainly, with CF, it's like "well, I could be spending 50 bucks a month
on buying the latest and greatest PC game, or I can play CF and send
the occasional (and far too infrequent) donation. If I play CF instead
of the PC thing, we can go out to eat, you can go shopping, etc. Which
do you prefer?"

Anyways, the thing is this: If it came down to my wife or CF (or ANYTHING),
I'd choose my wife. But see, the reason I'd choose my wife is because she'd
never make me HAVE to make that decision. How's that for circular logic?
