She just doesn't understand me like Eve does
I forgot to mention that while I was wtfpwning Joa'har, I had an audience. My wife had come in to the room to ask what we should do about supper.
Paul: Hey, what's up?
Mrs. Clavet: You hungry yet? What do you want to... hello?
Paul: Yeah, hold on a minute. I've got aggro and I'm about to ambush this carebear.
*Paul warps in right on top of the enemy Abaddon, locks, scrams, and falls into a 10k orbit*
Mrs. Clavet: Is he shooting you?
Paul: Not yet, I wonder if he's... there he goes.
Mrs. Clavet: What are those angry red squares?
Paul: Those are his drones. Mine are the blue ones. The lines are his lasers shooting me, and you can see my missiles every few seconds.
*Joa'har is already in structure. A few seconds later, he pops.*
Paul: Got him.
Mrs. Clavet: That's it?
Paul: That's it.
Mrs. Clavet: Not very exciting. Pretty, though.
*A few seconds pass*
Mrs. Clavet: Potatoes?
Paul: Potatoes will be fine.

Yes, EvE is a jealous mistress indeed. I can totally related to your story.
My wife and I have gotten to the point of arguing over my gaming (she is gaming-hostile, can you tell?) which has resulted in my severe reduction in gaming time.
EvE > Wives
To be fair, my wife is awesome.
She's a gamer as well. When we got married she started playing WoW and we played together for about three years until I quit in disgust. She still plays a lot of games, just never could get into Eve like I did. She understands the long hours I play and even brings meals and snacks to my desk when I'm FCing.
Sounds like you gots a good wife :)
I wish my wife would get into EVE. I got her hooked on LOTRO, but I get bored of lotro pretty easily these days since I've gotten back into EVE. I guess one game is better than none though!
And oh..Potatoes are good :D
