They all laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian.
But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!

Steelclaw, you continue to deliver!
You forgot to add:
Don't tell her that you make female toons because you prefer the "view" when you play.
(I learned that one through experience!)
I am your tax dollars at work.

Funny stuff! Of course, the best real way to avoid wife aggro is to get her to play!
It worked for me

Unless you make the toon a clone of her (although given the issues with the chest slider this could still be risky).

| How To Avoid Wife Aggro |
Okay... for those of you whose wife plays as well...
* Do not deliberately pick a fight with your wife hoping that if you win the argument she might drop some leet PVP recipes.
* Borrowing cash from her purse is one thing; emailing influence from her heroes to yours is entirely different.
* Good: Getting a Luck of the Gambler drop you already have and selling the recipe at the market. Bad: Remembering your wife has that new Super Reflexes Scrapper two seconds after telling her about your luck.
* When explaining to her why you don't want to XP Share with her new character it is inadvisable to use the excuse that you have "Commitment issues."
* You make a tribute Defender in your wife's image and name. Good: You make her an empath because she cares deeply for others and gives them comfort and healing. Bad: You made her a Sonic Blast because when she's angry with someone she screams at them until they DIE.

I might take a risk on that last one...that sounds plausible

Haha, this is great. Had some awesome laughs at of this, nice work!

How To Avoid Wife Aggro...
Placate, Assassin's Strike
Use Placate then load into an Instanced map where she can't follow.
Goodbye may seem forever
Farewell is like the end
But in my heart's the memory
And there you'll always be

How to Avoid Husband Aggro:
Flash the girls. Placated. Usually works for a mission or two.
Actually the best thing is to plan TF's around sports. "Go ahead and watch football, honey. I'll find something to do." /broadcast Level 50 scrap LFT
I do miss football sometimes, though.
Hysterical. Brightened up my day.

I got my wife the Keurig coffee maker she wanted. Worked wonders so far. Once she runs out of K-cups I might need to exit the map though.

My wife played this game for years but her gaming PC broke and we haven't had the money to fix it. I refuse to get her a replacement mobo as her PC is old enough as it is - hoping to get a tax return we can use.

Seriously, get her come blues for her caffeine tier nine crashes and you should be fine. Greens too if the Caffeine tier nine involves HP loss too

* When referring to the prior night's Hami Raid do not say "I spent some time with your mother last night..."
* Remembering Sister Psyche's birthday is impressive; forgetting your wife's is NOT.
* When negotiating spicing up the bedroom by having your wife dress up like the Carnival of Shadows never utter the statement "But the mask is the best part."
* A good wife will let you be late for dinner because you're on a mission team. A great wife will bring your dinner to you so you can grab a bite between battles. Caution is advised should you choose to push your luck by asking her to spoon feed you to keep your hands free in case of ambush.
* A quick ITF is not a reasonable excuse should your wife's water break.
* When having a conversation with your wife about which AT you would want to be in real life; it is never a good idea to say "Stalker."
* If however, your wife says she would want to be either a Thugs or Mercenary Mastermind with a faraway look and a strange smile on her face you are fully justified in asking why.
* When trying to convince your wife of doing something she doesn't want to try to avoid the statement "I bet your Praetorian self would do it."
* When discussing your children with other couples, do not make the mistake of slipping one of your characters into the conversation.
* Should you try to talk your wife into inviting another woman to your bed do not refer to it as a chance for her to try "Going Rogue."
* Never say to her "Of course you would make a good member of the Carnival of Shadows... I could see you as an illusionist... now your sister... SHE would make a good Ring Mistress..."
* Be VERY careful how you follow up the sentence "Hey honey, have you seen these new Hellion enemies the Girlfriend from Hell...?"
* If your wife ever says "They should erect a statue to ME in Atlas Park!" Never respond with "What do you think the blimp is for?"
* The proper noun to describe them is "Hydra" not "The In-Laws."
* She is not your maid. So never utter the statement "Living with you is like living in Boomtown."
* Suggesting to her that she would do well with Sister Psyche's powers is tolerable. Pointing out various women to her she could possess with such powers is not.
