How much does your lady hate CC?
Posted: Thu Feb 06, 2014 5:25 amWhile I don't play a great many games here (active usually less than 10) I must admit that I log into CC more than 10 times a day and probably spend at least two hours on this site per day..sometimes much more than that. It is quite possible for me to spend hours talking about games on the phone, or meeting spazzattack for a coffee and a cc-chat. Of course I post in GD a lot and it is without question a fact that CC has been my main, all-consuming, interest for many years.
However, I am glad to say that option 3 describes my lady's attitude to CC perfectly. Generally I cut down a bit when she is staying with me. However, I must admit that one of the reasons I have been very active this last 18 months is that for much of the time we haven't been in the same country, never mind city. I suspect I will have to cut CC down more and permanently once we both settle down to live in Qing Dao next month.
I would suggest that currently my girlfriend's attitude to CC would basically be that is cheap, it is better than me wasting my cash getting blasted in bars, I'm using my brain etc. However this may well change next month as I'm fairly convinced that my current CC habits on a daily basis might well, quite rightly some might say, piss her off.
Nonetheless, my main method of limiting female angst when she is with me is to get the bulk of my CC done before she wakes up. I tend to get up an hour or so earlier and this is the best time to do my general CC pottering about the forums, checking messages etc. Luckily I have the kind of job that allows me numerous breaks through the day (I tend to have 3 hours off in a 7 hour day) so there is CC time there. Of course planning with spazz is done in the evenings, typically on the phone when girlfriend is around.
So i have never had an argument about CC with her and I would suggest this is mainly due to:
a) getting up earlier
b) having a lot of time when I am at work
c) not playing too many games
(and finally key)
d) not playing speed games in the evening

. I also own my company so I log on during the work day whenever I want. I have even got a few of my employees playing.
