How do you escape the GF to play???
We've all been there. It's getting late. You're looking at the clock waiting for her to get sleepy so you can break away. You know your fireteam is waiting for you, in the trenches, taking on hoards and hoards and screaming, "Where the hell is Poet?!?!" I've gotten to the point it's just pathetic. I go through the motions of going to bed (shower, turn lights off, bang it out) then I just lay there waiting for her to go to dream land so I can sneak through my own house like a burglar (don't turn any lights on or make loud noises and using my flashlight on my cellphone). I hit the power button to my PS3 (which sounds like a clock tower going off in a small quite apartment). I stand silently listening for any stirring. Then, finally, I get on, catch up with my friends, "hey guys, want to do the daily, the bounties, the nightfall????" and every time, "Sorry man, we've already done it."
SOOOOOO, let's hear it. What are your own escape plans to ditching the girlfriend and logging on???
EDIT: man, it sounds like a lot of you are in a relationship with someone who totally understands and appreciates your passions and you don't have to nightstalker across your house to play. That's awesome. Also, that means this thread isn't for you. I'm not looking for relationship advice. My girlfriend is not a gamer (hats off to the ladies that commented on my thread...you are one in a million). We're both athletes. We both love the same TV shows, but the video games are just not something she relates to. Sooooooo .... I would like to hear from the guys and gals that are in MY boat and require a little strategic planning to play.
EDIT: I appreciate all your posts guys and gals. While the thread was created in lighthearted fun and intended for those that wanted to laugh about how they steal away a few extra hours of play, it has really brought up some points of interest. I see some of you really struggle with this on the daily. Continue to vent, explain, advise. Thanks again.

Edited by Baalwulf06: 10/30/2015 9:46:49 AMMe and my ex bought Destiny together, played together, I even sold my ps4 for an xbone so we could... [spoiler] which I will forever regret[/spoiler] She got bored with Destiny, she got more and more frustrated that I didn't get bored with Destiny. [spoiler] I'm single now[/spoiler] [spoiler] still playing Destiny[/spoiler] Edit: I really only miss the sex. But then I remember how negative of a person she is and want nothing to do with her. So it balances out

2 RepliesMy gf works nightshift but yet still finds the needs to call me and stay on the phone for hours (while working) I just put her on speaker and just casually answer "yes baby" Lmao
-
Sounds like she needs to watch some of them make up tutorials.

Me and my wife have an arrangement where 3 days a week and 1 of my 2 days off from work being 1 of the 3 I get to play games all day. The other 4 days of the week I spend time with her. When I do spend time with her it is all about her and I think that's why it works. She is even understanding enough to where when Black Spindle came she allowed me to play even though it wasn't 1 of my 3 days. Although I also do what you do sometimes. I will wait for her to go to sleep and go play for a couple hours lol.

1 ReplyHonestly dude, the best thing I've found is putting in the extra time and effort with her up front. Be it a night out or in, put in some extra quality time if you need a regular night. 99% of the time she won't mind if you make her feel special.
-
Tell her you're going to 'give it a miss this weekend' works sometimes.
-
You should be with someone who understands your love for gaming. Had to end a relationship with my ex boyfriend because he didn't understand why I gamed so much and he was also a total dick buttttttt if you have to sneak around just to game. I say end it. Lol

Here's mine: Me: Hey hun, want to play Destiny? Her: Sure, i need some help on this strike, the bastards left me.

Put some wine, chocolate, and flowers by the bathtub. Oh, and some candles. Works every time.

She just waits? Am I the only one

I use a tip I found on the forums: "Get gud scrub!"

Dont have one

Sedatives in her Starbucks

Tell them 1 or 2 of your friends are special. Yes, it sounds fûcked up. But who's gonna tell you to stop helping out special need children?
-
Get her to play with me. XD
-
Just talk to her homie. Tell her how you feel.
-
2 RepliesI get my time and she gets her time none of that constantly together doing the same thing bs. If your rationship involves sneaking around your own house so you can do the things you enjoy you might want to re roll her for better gf perks.
-
2 RepliesYou buy her a console too. Or take her out the night before so she has to record her programs and then following day she has enough to watch so she won't bother you. I have found that planning is key for happy life.

I feel you man. My wife "gets" video games and might even join in a game of Mario Kart or something...but she's not a gamer and more often than not rolls her eyes at it. Lol We have a pretty good understanding though. Some nights she just goes to bed without me while I play (big deal because for about 4-5 years we always went to bed together). She's also pretty cool about me playing on the weekend when our daughter is napping. It's rare though that I just get to sit there and play when both her and my daughter are awake during the day, she'd rather us all do something together and that's fair. I work a lot and she just started working again so the time we all have together is really important to me. I always tell her that video games are just a hobby and come second to everything else, but they're still important to me so when I get the chance I really want to make the most of it and have some fun just for me. I try often to give her the time she wants and needs and help a lot around the house and with our daughter...so we have a pretty good understanding. The funny part is that I can never use a mic because I'm always playing when someone's sleeping. Also, sometimes on the weekends I try and wake up before both of them to play...it rarely works out and usually ends in me getting my daughter because she woke up and we hang out while my wife sleeps in...hahaha

Step 1: Purchase GF Step 2: Play Destiny. If she complains, proceed Step 3: Break Up Step 4: Don't give 2 shits.

Aside from SNES, my girlfriend is not a fan of video games. She works weekends so that gives me typically 16 hours of playtime a week, maybe a few extra hours before work here and there. I've tried playing after she goes to sleep, but at 6 months pregnant she always wakes up in the middle of the night so I've given up on waiting for her to go to sleep lol.. It works out, I enjoy giving her my undivided attention when we're together.

3 RepliesLock the kitchen from the outside

6 RepliesEdited by squishlings: 10/29/2015 5:49:44 PMI'm single and in my thirties so I play when I want just won't be banging anything out. It really isn't necessary anyhow sort of like going through life without eating sweets is how it is. Can't be bothered to live a double life of caring boyfriend/husband and also a Destiny addict. I made my decision and feel it's right for this guardian.
