My wife went to ONE Games Day with me. In the long line for the GD entries, we were cut by some jackholes, and all my wife remembers (to this day) is how bad their breath was. She has yet to go back to a GD. We did make the 2001 Games Day website though. They had two females in one shot (not me and my wife, ZING!), so it had to go on the website.

Of the 20something RTTs I went to, the one time my wife (fiancee at the time) decided to come with me and see what these things were all about was also in Toledo (Glass City Games IIRC). She managed not to be too freaked out despite 1) having had two hours of sleep the night before and 2) the guy who excitedly told us about the miniature he'd converted to look like his favorite porn star- fortunately he didn't have it with him.

My wife is pretty supportive overall; sometimes when she gets bored she'll even prime tanks for me. I think the only aspect that genuinely bugs her is how my hobby projects tend to spread out and conquer large portions of the living room

The really funny thing is actually my mother-in-law, who's totally obsessed with beads and making beaded necklaces.

since i'm not a gamer, i don't have to deal with the gamer friend dilema, and i'm way too smart to bring her to the shop and let her watch me geek out on the lastest minis...

my main snag is that i paint at night, so the girls get mad when i cuddle for an hour after sex, and then get up and go home to work...the ladies love that i have a job, but don't seem to consider workin' at home paintin' toys to be "real work"...bollocks!!! i work my tail off, and i don't even get to keep the damn minis...

Anyways, it is quite popular on the weekends to gather and shoot the breeze with your buddies "Hobbying". So a guy and his very timid looking "Librarianesque" wife were sitting across from me while they were painting Napoleonics. I was brownstuff molding and a couple guys next to me were sculpting. I noticed them using mineral oil for the lubricant to sculpt their GS and commented on how water based lubricants were superior (mind you, keeping a more civil tongue than usual, noting fairer sex present at the table).

They went out to go buy some astroglide when she piped in, "Hold on a sec" and reaches into her hand bag and pulls out a smallish bottle of water based lubricant. That simple act might have made some nerds shocked in itself.

Embarrassingly enough, that wasn't all that she pulled out...

A small marital aide also fell to the ground as she procured the aforementioned water based lubricant. It could have easily been mistaken for a simple stick of lipstick if it wasn't for landing on its power button, as it started to buzz violently on the ground.

We all just stared for a moment , trying very hard to avert our gazes and refrain from commenting at the item popping about, like a mexican jumping bean on the ground (quite unsuccessfully I might add). She turned a very bright shade of beet red and hurriedly turned it off and stuffed it back into her hand bag. Her husband said "You're on your own honey, you just offered the proverbial 'christians to the lions' I cant help you here" and started to laugh. Thankfully, she laughed as well.

However, she did by me the CoD boxset when it came out for Father's Day a couple years ago. I still have bits from that set I use.

Overall, she's pretty cool about it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/212039/300625.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/212039/300625.page GMT BA devastators painted Blood Angels Orange in a box one day. "What's this?" "The biggest time-suck since Evercrack." says I thinking that THAT will scare her off it. 4 months later I arrive at my local FLGS, looking to buy a "dreadnaught". The owner refuses to sell it to me. I was confused and edging into irritated, he tells me to go talk to my SO. Turns out, it's my birthday, she'd been in there earlier that day, and she has bought me about 30 odd pounds of marines for my BA. My friends HOWLED for MONTHS about this little lost chick coming into the store asking if she could buy a "doughnut". They kindly pointed her toward the "dreadnaught" she was mispronouncing, and laughed like a gaggle of hyenas.

A great retort there, nice!

My good lady refers to the hobby as 'Wartool' (or inserts what ever tool other than hammer comes to her brain). She appreciates the creative side of it but as a fan of Primark and making clothes she lives in lala land as far as prices go....... I knew the separate bank accounts was the way to go!

She's bought me miniatures cases for gifts in the past. She lets me use our linked card for making gaming purchases over the net.

She sometimes follows me into stores (when they aren't full of rank munchkins) and will find something she likes, hand it to me and tell me I'm painting it up for her (last two were Bret manorhouse and High Elf Lion Chariot - the first has been painted, still working on the latter).

I got my wife to paint a couple of minis with, which she enjoys when she has the time. The knight is her first miniature. Other than that, she's just resigned that the 2 boys are going to take after me regarding figures and gaming.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/212039/307656.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/212039/307656.page GMT
