Wife Ack

[republic]

I often see a few guys post about wife ack, wondered what your most extreme case of wife ack has been.

Personally, I usually get a blip on the RWR display and move to take it out before it can fire.  Occasionally I get hit with some light AAA "You want to watch this show with me?"  But other than that, I usually don't' have a problem.

Anyone have a wife ack story they'd like to share?

Through the years I have found wife Ack to be mostly light to moderate, the really heavy Ack seems to be daughter Ack.  It started out light then got steadily heavier as they became teenagers then adults; I now have two grand kids that are learning how to fire their own Ack now.  My youngest daughter is in college now, but still quite capable of a good Ack barrage now and then, usually on a squad night; seems she is very book smart, but has problems reading a gas gage.

This is as good a time as any to resurrect this old gem.

I am a natural blonde with green eyes. I am 36-28-34 very slim build and I turn heads each day. You would think that when I stood naked infront of my husband that he would stop playing and, well you know what. I became desperate for his attention some weeks ago and tryed this ploy. He looked up for one second then the pull of Air Warriors had a stronger pull on his affections than I did. Boy my ego shrank to the size of a pea. So you bet I will be joining you for your next meeting. See you all then. Gina

The first time I heard that term "Wife Ack" was in Air warrior. That is also the first time my wife pissed in her undies when she got the first month's bill for Air Warrior (What was it, 5, 6 bucks an hour? I don't remember....but I DO remember the dress-down I got from her)

I find that the truism about an offence being a fine defence works just peachy. Rack up the points and she hasn't got a leg to stand on.

Only downside is that you have to be a great guy for the majority of the time.

I got GF ack'd badly once... undeservingly too, I thought. After that it became quite clear that anytime you're taking hits from wife/GF Ack you're probably not doing enough to keep her happy.... and even if you are doing all that you can to make her days more enjoyable playing a game at the cost of her happiness isn't really worth it, is it?

A good relationship should allow you plenty of time to play if you work hard enough

Well before I started playing AH my wife would give me a little ack now and then.  I then got her her own PC and internet connection and I haven't heard any ack since.  In fact, I don't hear much at all from her now.  Wait, let me go check...

Never had any problem with wife ack after clarifying that Aces High provides worldwide training in Enhanced Situational Awareness directly applicable to defensive driving and home defense.  The reasonable monthly fee is more than offset by avoided traffic incidents and increased security.

My wife ack was cure by getting a second subscription...

She hardly ever plays anymore, but she enjoys it when she does.

My wife ack decreased sharply once I bought headphones

Can wife-ack get much worse then this?

It's funny how wife ack works.
My wifey is an Ol Time AW Widow... She hated the hours I spent flyin.
She worried alot.. here I was spending late hours at night flyin in the puter room.
She even once asked me with fire in her eyes "Who the Hell is Roger?" I laffed, she didn't.
When EA killed AW she rejoiced and thought that was it.
Then Aces High came along.
She once tried to lay down the Law on me about flyin and spending hours on the puter.
I grabbed my coat and headed for the door. She asked "Where are you going?"
I replied "Just out..to a bar. Gonna have fun with friends, drink alot and play."
"Well when ya coming home?" she asked. I told her "Don't know...maybe when I got tired and it wasn't fun for the night anymore...but there's always tomorrow."

Then realization set in... she looked at the puter, then me, the door, then the puter again...
and said the words I remember still today....

"Sooo that's a Spit huh?  Can I bring you another Beer?"

Cold hard reality had set in and she knew if I was in the house drinkin, flyin and havin fun that she knew exactly where I was and what I was doing.

Now even after a bad Day she'll tell me to go fly a bit and bring me a drink.

I only get wife ack now when it's time to eat.

I used to give 5pointOh alot of fiance ack. Just about every night I was mad b/c he was on the game for a long time and I was just stuck sitting in the living room alone. I felt as if he was just trying to make me mad to the point I would leave and then he could play all he wanted to. Then one night, he said why dont you come over here and play for a min. I was like ok,whatever. I went over there and played and ever since I have been addicted. He got me my own acct. and now I play all the time. Its nice that we can play right beside each other. We are spending time together while having fun. I told him right after I started to play that I was sorry for all the times I yelled at him. No more fiance ack for him now.

The one thing we do is we dont get on the game till 8pm. That is because we spend time together and just do stuff around the house till then.
