First I will go ahead and clarify that I am a dude, I'm just too lazy to create a new forum handle. When my wife and I got married, she wanted me down to 1hr a day, and that just wasn't working out. So pretty much the rule became, I can mud a little bit longer, just not excessively. Which is about as nebulus as rules get. However, let's just do some math here. There are 168 hours in a week. Forty hours for a job (I assume you are employed), 56 hours of sleep (assuming 8 hours a night), 35 hours of mudding, 1 hour a day for eating. Now not counting showers, bathroom, doing anything with friends, etc etc etc that leaves 5 hours a day for your girlfriend. Since she has a kid, some of that is being spent with the rug rat. I probably don't play any more than 2 hrs at a time lately. When my wife is not around I might play longer, but once you start to cut back it actually becomes difficult to stay on longer. Anyway just some things to consider.
