SEIV or Marital Divorce!

[UnusualData]

In one week, new to SEIV, I have clearly lost touch with the outside world. I'd even be willing to quit my job, but I need the money to pay for my broadband connection. And then there's my wife...I can sense the ultimatum coming, "You either uninstall SEIV or I have no choice but to divorce you. Umm?

No ****, but since playing se4 I have been having vivid SEIV races trying to get me, colonizing planets,....etc. And in my dreams, I see the SEIV bitmap race pictures, and they're coming after me.

Just curious if any of you are as affected by this game as I am? My workaround: I've told my wife that I have been assigned a work project which has required me to work well into the early morning, and if she happens to walk into the room while I'm playing I quickly switch screens to another running app. I know I'll get busted soon, but hey, it could be much worse, I could be a drunk, drug addict, child molester or wife-beater. My only vice is smoking (and playing SE4). How can she argue that?

What I did is bought my wife a game she would like and then let her play for 3 days. I then slowly started increasing my game time and when she said "all you do is play that game!" I said "well look who's talking."
She went back to watching tv and I have not hear about it since.

Your wife and mine can have a chat.

But remember she's your wife not your mother.

Unless of course..........

Nah.............

( by the way this post is so unlike me)

I have had the dreams.

Guys, I know this is all meant as humor,
Buttttt..

(and It was more of Symptom than the Cause
At the time my wife ditched me, I was playing SE III at least 30 hours a week.
Please learn from my lack of will power. It has cost me 3 years of emotional hell.
As most of you know I am much better off now, but... If you have someone you truly do not want to lose, develope the will power

Maybe she needs the competion. We shouldn't be the only ones working at having a good time, err I mean a relationship.

edit: I gave mine a book store gift certificate to keep her busy.

Thanks Gryphin, your response really hit home. Yes, certainly I am caught-up in my new toy, but you have made me take a step back and look to the most wonderful and beautiful woman in my life - truly, my soulmate. Material things come and go, often quickly, but true love is forever, and I don't want to ever jeopardize that. Besides, I'll probably master the game in no time and lose interest - Ya, right! And another thing, I am going to restrict my SE4 playing time and skip the deception tactic with my wife I had mentioned.

"Love, hope and faith - but the greatest of these is love." - From somewhere in the bible.

Thanks
