Wife Aggro

[ColSuave]

*sigh* I'm not sure about the whole wife thing... me being 17, marriage hasn't been an issue for me. Though, my girlfriend called me, i was in the middle of landing a  P38 without a Left wing and some other stuff.. well she was crying, i didn't want to be a jerk and say hold on, but i had 6 kills and i didn't wanna crash so i said, "Baby hold up for just a sec, I'm landing" .  + + = Her... + = me. I call and call but she doesn't answer, all of the sudden i see some lights through the window and there she is pulling into my driveway with tears in her eyes and a really big vane popping out of her forehead and neck. At this point I'm ready to cry cause i know what is about to happen. Mom goes out there and asks what's wrong, she screams at the top of her lungs at me and starts cursing. Well my mom starts yelling at me now and i get grounded... WTFH?!?!?!? And ya know what it was about, somebody called her a name that starts with W and ends with HORE.

If there is such a thing as girlfriend ack, that was a 6-barreled 5 incher

the best cure for "wife ack" is to deploy chaff:    $...$$....$....$$$.....$ .....$$$.....$ ....$$

It works for me!

If you're gonna fly and be on the phone...rule #1 Do not talk about Aces High.  Rule #2 Do not talk about Aces High.  You might have quite the handful on your hands with this one.  A girl that drives over crying and screaming and then you mom grounds you?  The first part I can see, but having your parents get involved in 'that' way isn't right.

Ohhhh i know, but i cant do anything about it... because evidentally "They are the parent, and I am the child and what i say doesnt matter and what they say goes." I hate it when they say that.

Simple fix: don't pick up the phone.

That can sometimes work, but other times it just makes the situation much much worse.

My girlfriend is ok with the fact that I *may* be playing some sort of game while talking with her (generally am   ) on the phone...I just really enjoy multi-tasking.  My squaddies know when I go silent for a half an hour that g/f ack is strong with this one.  Long as I don't play while she's at my apartment, I won't be in the doghouse.

Anyone got any advice for this one:
Mrs iTunes likes to sit RIGHT behind me and ask what is going on and why, then she'll start to tell me about Tri-tip is 2 bucks a pound at Safeways and we should go and get some etc etc,
Roughly 8-10 mins later, takes the same seating position and this time it'll be about the "she said and he said and she said to him" for about 10 mins.
So I just don't even bother flying when she's around, just not worth the hassle.

It takes them at least a couple of years to figure out that you don't want to talk outside the game. ("Oh I'm sorry, did I make you die?") Once my wife figured that out she found more imaginative ways to distract me and make me want to get off the game. Once she came into the den and was wearing a................. ALT F4.

Yea... I know what you're talkin bout'.. whenever she's talkin about that all i can say is OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG "I DONT ****ING CARE!!!" except I dont have the brass to say it.

              So it is as most of you married gents out there know. Unless your wife is a direct
         participant, immersed in the warfare of AHII, shes probably going to throw a wrench
         in your props, and chances are unintentionally. Was having one of those weekends,
         winter-blahs, feeling my age and just couldnt really get in an online mood.

             Finally got into (Blue-Arena I believe) and decided to warm up with a care-free
          bombing run while I woke up with my cup of "Max" and a Basic. Things are going
          just fine, kept up with my F3 check and when I could almost make out the enemy
          coastline so I level out and hit auto. Just about that time my cell phone rings,
          ("Thunderstruck" ring tone) Its my wife telling me shes on the way home and also
           our mechanic is picking up my 04 Impala to fix a dent from HER bender,(not her fault)
          and the driver-side heat that quit working. Ok,that was fine, it was important and
          it was my car afterall, not a problem. But my wife is a nut for detail, so she begins to
          lengthen the conversation,(she cant just say,"K,bye-cya later") so as Im fiddlin with
          trying to watch my screen and hold a phone conversation at the same time, no
          sooner I looked toward the rear, Frik and Frak!,this fighter is 500 right behind me!

              So here I was trying to defend my bombers before she had even said "bye" yet,
          four seconds into the defense,BAM! lost 1st bomber, eight to ten seconds,BAM!
          lost the second one,.....well,by that time I was madder then Ted Nugent at an
          anti-gun rally. Threw the phone on the floor so hard it broke apart like my bombers,
          then I closed out the game. Whoever that was, good job on sneaking up there
          like that. I'm just sorry I didnt give you a better fight! 

          At least I wont have to worry about the cell phone on my next flight. 

Didn't even read what you posted and for one reason: The way you center all your text bugs the hell out of me.  Still don't know why it bugs me though.  Hmmm

Hahaha, that was definitely NOT a suave way to handle the situation.

Made me laugh, though. hahahahahahahahahahahaah

I asked my neurosurgeon about this kinda stuff once and he told me the brains of men are wired in such a way that we find it difficult to "do", or "listen to", two different things at once. Nature designed out brains to excel at one thing at a time, "which is useful if your leading a troupe of elevated primates chasing a herd of zebras with spears". On the other hand the female of the species has a brain, wired by evolution, to do several different things at once. Again which is useful when raising kids, having to keep an eye on them while foraging for nuts and whatnot. I work with woman and they can write a report, talk to 3 people at once, talk to a 4th on a cell phone, and listen to me without breaking stride.

So there is a scientific reason as to why we tune our wives out while flying our cartoon airplanes, and why we have to choose between ignoring our wives or getting our little airplanes blown to bits. You've probably also experienced this when watching your favorite episode of "Combat" and the wife comes down with the nag rag on. She will leave even angrier when the reality is nature designed us to be lousy listeners and it aint our fault.

But like "running around spreading our seeds like Bulls" good luck trying to get a woman to understand all this. They dont want to hear the "evolution exuses". Believe me, Ive tried.

Your correct about this.
I would put some money on it that it was a MAN that invented the DVR, just because of this reason.  I never missed any of my favorite episodes since I got my DVR...

I found that a big shiny ball of aluminum foil and a laser pointer works pretty well too...............oh man, here she comes!!!!.............

Get your wife a puppy, when it grows up, give it to the pound, then rinse, and repeat. 

It should keep them distracted to give you atleast.... hmm... *gets out calculator* about 10 minutes of flying time for Aces High every Week. 

This never works.  All it gets you is a great dinner, and then you realize the puppy is gone.
