In case of Wife-Aggro use these handy-dandy excuses for your team:
* Yeah guys, sorry... wife needs me... comes from NOT living in my mother's basement.
* Gotta go guys... Wife and I are up to Kama Sutra page 36... she's been working extra hard on her flexibility and I want to reward that sort of effort.
* Life (noun); the existence outside that of on-line gaming/fantasy world... used in a sentence "I have a life."
* Gotta go guys, my SG leader has just announced she wants to do a raid on my fortifications. She craves my Item of Power and will stop at nothing until it's firmly inside her base.
* Oooh... my wife just showed up and said she needs me to help her run a Click the Glowie mission... apparently she went to the local adult store and bought some interesting new Enhancements... later!
* See y'all... the MasterMind is leaving for a Safeguard mission and it's up to me to watch the Thug pets before they unleash Gang War on our living room.
* You know how no matter how you try the Minions keep running around aggroing the whole map and getting into trouble? The AI was modeled after my kids... gotta run.
* Hmmm... stay here in this PUG or go spend time with my wife... stay here with a Tank who ignores defensive powers or go cuddle with my lover on the couch... stay here with Sir Scrapper Lock and the Pink Ice Defender or try to convince my wife to put on the Sister Psyche costume I got her for our last anniversary?
PenHecked has quit the team.

I rarely get gf aggro anymore since she has started playing a game of her own, but we still have our 'us time' where we'll watch a movie or something. No cellphones or any distractions allowed!
I think the last bit of gf aggro I got was when she wanted me to drive her out for ice cream (when it was 17 degrees out!) and I told her I'd just gotten on a team, didn't want to leave them short-handed. Well, someone else in the SG wanted in so I offered to give them the spot after the mission and go get the ice cream... I didn't tell her this, apparently she read over my shoulder. Then another member said they had to go right away, so the other member got their slot and I made a comment about not having to leave now, she could just eat what was in the fridge.
She pinched me, HARD. I have a freaking bruise.

that's totally what was running through my mind reading these, though I don't think I am really for marriage (don't think I will understand women who stick with just one guy tho when they pretty much grow on trees. I dunno, can't really get attached that way *shrug* And before anyone says it: http://snipr.com/doublestandards1)

If you *really* want to impress her, say "Let's try for a Master's run" when she brings her badge collector. If it goes well she'll love you, even if the attempt fails you'll get major points for making the effort. 3) Wife considering new character? Offer to roll a synergetic one with a similar theme and level pact with her. 4) If you see her character in a new costume, compliment it. 5) Offer to buy (or draw!) her art of her character for her birthday. *only 100% sure if your wife is current poster |

those numbers are amazon's equivalent of ISBN, it's just a unique number for books people doing linkspam you can tell when it is, cos it always says stuff like "ref=" (referrer/affiliate) in the link ... And no I did not write any of them

Closing this necro'd thread to prevent further mod aggro.
For me I can never utter the words "Task Force". I can play for 10 hours saturday (I usually dont but i have done it a couple times to test this theory) and she will be completely fine with it..........but if I say Task Force she goes up in arms because she knows that the only way I will bail on a Task Force is either a bonified emergency or if there is no way we can complete. Even if its a short one, less than an hour she still gets mad.
So my solution. I no longer say "Honey we can go just as soon as we finish this Task Force" I say "Honey we can go just as soon as I help these guys finish this story arc its a tough one and I dont want to leave them without (insert role here, tank heal whatever) is that ok?"
It shouldnt work but it does maybe its because she thinks im only doing it to be nice heh.
However her solution when its time for things that cannot be discussed on this forum is to flip the breaker on me. Ill let you paint your own picture but to give a hint, I dont really mind in that instance.
