#23, "How do you begin to deal with significant others, who HATE CF?"


  

          


Hi, curious how the consensus deals with a problem I face
at a constant, and I would hope I'm not alone in.

My gf, absolutely despises this game, and we've gotten into
some pretty hefty fights over it. Generally, since I've moved
in with her, I strictly play only while she's at work, and even
then my time is limited because of other things I need to get
done with my online college, housework, etc.

Even so much as pulling up this and the other cf website just
to glance over any of my posts, recent logs, etc., she can
instantly go into bitch-on-wheels mode.

At this very moment, she's in another room all upset and in
a huffy over yet Another fight, because as she's putting her
son in for a bath (he's generally here every other weekend,
and this specific time, bath/before bed is about an hour or
so of free time) then afterwards going to read to him before
bed.. So.. for the first time in a long time, I log in while
she's actually in the house.

Granted, I could have been looking at sites for dog adoption,
watched TV, or done pretty much ANYthing else, but simply because
I chose to throw my free time tonight on CF, we've got to have
another fight on how so much more important cf is than her.

I don't drink anymore, I don't gamble, I don't cheat, I don't
beat her.. I play CF, that's it. A many long years hobby, and
probably the single most thing I have, and do enjoy, as far as
when I'm not with her.

I honestly think that this is going to end up ruining our relationship, in that

1. I'm not quitting my hobby simply because she's jealous
2. Her sometimes outrageous jealousy of it, pisses me off
3. It's something I love, and I think is totally ####ed that
she's acting like this, knowing for the 2+yrs we've been
together (lived together 6mos) she's known damn well I've
been at this thing for nearly 8-9yrs strong.

Lastly.. I used to play insane hours, sometimes 20hrs a day
when I could pull it off. Now, I rarely get more than 35 in
a week, or more than a five or six hour session a day as it is.


Any one can relate, or offer some kind of advice? This is just
getting so old between me and her, and it's driving me crazy.
