What do you expect your teammates to think? Is it fair that your personal affairs are asking for the time of strangers? Why is it that all afk'ers are afk at the beginning of the strike? Does this "life" thing that you all talk about just miraculously happen on the load screen every time? The real issue is that you, the afk'er, is attempting to perform "life" when you should just be playing a game. None of us are going to criticize you for going afk during patrol, but you've made a commitment to your teammates to play when you join a strike playlist. If I'm playing summoning pits and a person stops moving shortly after killing the Ogre midway through, I know that "life" has happened and I'm fine with being patient. Could you have told your girlfriend just a minute? Maybe finished the strike, and then made her tea? As unfair as it is for people to not be accepting of your girlfriends needs, it's equally unfair for you to do that to those people.
