"KSP Widow"

[LostOblivion]

When my mother-in-law walked into my man-cave and I explained the game to her, she basically just said "Hah!" and walked out again... :-P

[...]I work in the space industry, so I guess i'm lucky the two don't conflict as much as they could!

So, you never tried the "Six Words" at your job?

Play KSP with her.

I have done in the past but I think she needs some time with it to herself to get the bug.

You'd be surprised at how many times I've had to stop myself! If solar weather was included in KSP it would be a lot harder!

My girlfriend gave me three "free" days (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday) hahaha...she understands KSP is about to go v1.0. I feel so lucky to have her

[Terwin]

My wife knows that she can come and take me away from my computer at any time(but I am liable to ask for a variance if I am playing a game that does not pause and is time-sensitive).

She usually claims the first 30-45 minutes when I get home, then lets me have most of the rest of the evening(mostly for Kerbals of late).

Had I not set 'social-time' to be an absolutely higher priority than computer time many years back, I probably would have never had a girlfriend, let alone a wife.(I am *not* a social person)

We've been married nearly 25 years, and she's used to being a "writer's widow." Though she takes delight in busting me when she hears a launch in progress when I'm supposed to be getting words onto the page.

[MGCJerry]

Sometimes she doesn't mind me playing KSP, sometimes she minds and I hear about it a lot and there is already a very narrow window of time I can play it anyway.

[Moon Goddess]

This is why you need a girlfriend that loves KSP more than you do.

....

I also need a girlfriend that loves KSP as much as I do.

[Kagame]

Other half... Haha no, but for very complicated reasons. Instead, it's my school that's going to be taking a beating... next week is finals week for me and I should be studying the bejeezus out of school. But, hey, I'll learn more playing KSP. At least that's what I keep telling myself.

*rocks slowly in corner*

I bought a 24" monitor last Thanksgiving and moved my gaming computer out to the living room. So we can sit on the couch together, she can watch her TV shows, I can play KSP (or whatever other game is in my focus that day), and we can be together.

And my kids? My kids will ask me, "Can you play Kerbals so we can watch?" When they get older and start to grasp the engineering and physics, multiplayer will be all sorts of awesome.

When I hear "Hey Yuri!" called from the other room, I know she's 'irritated'.
