Personally this has happened to me and i can happily say she was out the door before she finished her ultimatum.

/takes trollbait

Which one... wife or gf?

I would tell her she has her hobbies/addictions and if she doesntunderstand that then she obviously doesnt belong with me or anyone else on the face of this Earth.

gf some time back.

my wife wouldn't dare!

What happened for her to bring about the "me or 40k" ultimatum? While the wife/gf (either or both) is supposed to be our better half, one who really loved us would understand that our hobbies and playing with toy soldiers help us keep from telling her what we really think of her loudmouth mother and useless family/in-laws. I'm just being honest...

Cost Benefit Analysis:

To me, all things can be broken in to costs of: Time. Money. Emotional Termoil.

40k:
-Lots of Money
-Lots of Time, but its fun time so it kind of balances out

Women:
-Lots of Money, women are liberated now, but apparently guys are still expected to foot their bills at diner
-Lots of Time
-LOTS of emotional termoil

Therefore I determine that women are cost inefficient. 40k wins.

Women want equal rights until the bill comes it seems.

I moved one of her pieces of cheap fairground tat so that i could put my limited edition Brother Theolus on display and i think if ed with energy flow or something suitably pointless.

I'd show her the door... and my wife agrees with that too.

It's not about the 'whatever' or me, it's about the lack of respect a person shows another person when they demand that the person give up something that matters to them.

I wouldn't issue such an ultimatum to my wife, she wouldn't issue one to me. If a person respects you, it means that they respect your interests too.

Exactly what redbeard said.

+1 to Redbeard and Vindicator #9

My wife knew I was a wargamer when we were dating. If it was an issue that would've caused a problem, she would have brought it up. I have set a boundary on myself that when she needs time with me, she is the priority and the hobby gets put away but not gotten rid of. She has never said "me or 40k". She knows the hobby is too much a part of me.

I'm so happy I found a girl who is interested in the stuff I do.

40k stuff sorry. But i don't give a crap what people think XD.

Devil's advocate here, as I also agree with Redbeard, but sometimes an ultimatum isn't completely unjustified. Sometimes people's priorities get completely out of whack and a good wake-up call is needed. (I'm thinking of stuff like heavy addictions...plastic crack or otherwise.)

XD. Well yeah If i had choice i would get her intreseted into the hobby because it is not just a wargame -.- .
It may be a little nerdy but GAming is nerdy as much as no one likes to admit it.
If there was another way i would do it.

Gf: Depends on how much poontang I'm getting.

Wife: See above
But in all seriousness, I'd take her and then tell her that in turn she has to stop doing something that she enjoys doing that costs $$.

That works.

It just makes me love my wife all the more. She is amazing and beautiful and despite the fact that she doesn't know a bolter from a battlewagon and rolls her eyes at me "playing with my little men" she'd never ask me to give it up.

Neither would mine... but if she ever did, I wouldn't hesitate to sell my "figurines" (her words) in a heartbeat.

If your relationship is at the point of that sort of ultimatum, you've most likely got bigger problems than toy soldiers.

So there's not really any way to answer this, since it would depend completely on the actual situation. Largely on how serious the relationship was, and how much time I was spending gaming compared to time with her.

It's not likely to happen in my current (and all going well, last) relationship anyway, since M understands the need for hobbies as much as I do, and if it got out of control would be far more likely to speak up well before it gets to the ultimatum stage... so not really an issue for me.

I just asked my wife.

She asked what I was laughing at when I read OP quote.

She said she would never ask me to quit 40k. She knows I enjoy it too much.

Some of you guys need to to get out of the house alittle more. Paint fumes have warped your brains to point of wanting the army dudes instead of the poody.

This really. It's possible you're with someone completely unreasonable (I knew a guy whose wife couldn't stand him playing PnP rpgs - if he wanted to spend Saturday night at the bar, fine with her, but if he spent Saturday night at his friend's place playing a game, as soon as he got there she'd be calling asking when he was coming home) or nom really, your obsession with your hobby is completely unreasonable. In the first place, you're pretty justified in saying 'Sayounara,' and in the second, you're probably going to say 'Sayounara' anyways, but really you're the one with the problem.

Well i do get out of the house alot. Right now i'm single so its not like i'm being dragged down by my ears.
Its just that Women sometimes don't understand Wargaming they like the hobby side.

Once one of my friends girlfriends saw me writing up a storm and asked me what are you doing?

My friend said "its his form of fun."

I looked at them and i said "well you don't understand then, espically if your realtionship will only last 2 weeks."

My friend who was a 40k player too said "i'm betting 1. Once she finds out what he plays."

Then she broke up with him right there on the spot. XD no one won the bet.

I was a Chaos Marine then and i didn't have good social skills.
But needless to say i met tons of girls who love this hobby just because their boyfriends started it. But it is nothing like advertised.
But still it happens almost every day.
i haven't gotten into this mess yet .

I would be more curious to what has happened that lead to this choice.

What are you little wait are you a girl or a guy? its really hard to tell................. But still it would suck..............

sex > little plastic men and standing in a poorly ventilated room with a bunch of dudes who likely haven't showered yet this week

seriously though redbeard had it right, if she would be so disrespectful as to do something like that it wouldn't be me choosing 40k over her it would be me choosing not to be with a hateful wench who didn't really get me anyways.

I'd take her to the doctor to figure out what was wrong as such a comment would be terribly out of character for her. I'd no sooner ask her to give up her RPGs as she would ask me to give up my hobbies. Get a better relationship, you did something wrong to get this point. Either you want more of a relationship w/ your mini's than the you do the girl (in which case lookup time management) or you are in a relationship w/ someone that is insecure and/or disrespects you as a person.

Yeah, I'd tell her to get bent, I don't care about much in life but the few things I do like, I love and wouldn't part with my minis. Now, if some guy would walk up to me and say "hey I've got your wife, so give me all your 40k stuff and she'll live" well, that is a different situation.

I would say "Seriously? My game goes or you leave? You will let plastic army men destroy our relationship?"

and then I would wait for an answer...not like I expect this to actually happen, but if it does I have a plan for what to say.

starbomber109 wrote:You will let plastic army men destroy our relationship?"

That could be said both ways.

OP: her all the way, my wife is worth more than anything GW could ever give me, hands down.

I'd leave it all with a reliable friend so I could have it back when I inevitably broke up with a girl of that sort, but I'd continue to use her body to satisfy my carnal needs until then.

Of course, the gods have granted me the ever-elusive feth buddy, so I get the best of both worlds. Or something.

A man and his girlfriend fall on hard financial times, as many of us have recently. So his girlfriend tells him he has to stop spending so much money on beer. He reluctantly agrees because he understands the seriousness of the situation. Soon he finds out that she spent $65 dollars on makeup. So he confronts her.

"Why can't I buy beer if you're buying makeup?"

"But honey, I need the make up to look pretty for you."

"Well I though that's what the beer was for!"

She isn't coming back...

Wife No 1 stated War gaming and modelling/painting was a waste of time, money etc, and that time/money would be better spent on her, especially the money. Now ex-wife.

I remarried some year later to a beautiful woman who understands my gaming addiction, but even at the start of our relationship she appreciated the models and took an interest in my hobbies, even if she did not understand it. The cost of the hobby was an issue until I gave up smoking, her thoughts now are at least my money’s not going up in smoke.
The only issue I have now is she beats me on the gaming table regularly, hold on that got to be grounds for divorce.

I would state that its a matter of respect and understanding, we are expected to understand why they need more than one handbag, why we have to go shopping every weekend, why their clothes not only fill their wardrobes but have to be stored in ours, and why her friends take priority over ours, need I go on.

If my girl ever gave me an ultimatum of any kind, no matter what the subject matter... on sheer principal I'd tell her to pack her gak and get the feth out.

It sounds as though there are many women out there who tolerate war gaming. I can only pray that i find one of them someday.

However, any wife/GF that tells you to give up your hobby, so that she can buy more shoes, nick knacks, or just be unreasonable, etc... should be dealt with as a heretic and "enlightened" in the same manner as a commissar would "enlighten" a cowardly conscript.

Though my rant makes it sound as if i hate women, that couldn't be further from the truth. I just need to meet a good one who is tolerant of my hobby, and wont force an ultimatum like that on me.

She'd be declared Excommunicate Traitoris, called a Heretic, and sent on her way

Luckily, she loves her bright, colourful Chaos stuff. And even thinks some of it is 'cute'. Don't ask...

My fiancee saw my stuff and began looking through it, saw my nids which i never got around to painting and went omg cute little bugs......SHe took them painted them and then I began loosing reg. to purple nids with pink polkadots...........and I wouldn't have it any other way

If the girlfriend gave me that crap, I'd tell her to leave. Before my wife catches her

My wife wouldn't say anything. She tells me that compared to most Japanese men, I'm a champ (don't stay out all night drinking, don't smoke, I cook and clean, etc).

She came to me the other day and told me that I could play with my toys no matter what our household budget looks like because it's cheaper than all the things her friends' husbands/boyfriends are into.

That's only because he's a dirty, Batman obsessed Frenchman

And because teasing Jibbs is always funny.

Back to topic, it's probly true that an ultimatum means that there is trouble with the relationship to begin with... and it's nice to hear some men would still take the women over the miniatures. At least some do Read some other posts and seriously some of the dudes are pretty cutthroat.

Quote from my wife Becky - "A smart wife would never ask that question."

I got a good joke XD.

Duck tape solves everything inculding wives.

But i won't dump my girlfriend even if i tried if i had one at this moment -.-. Usually they dump me.

Thats just a ridiculous thing to ask someone, specially over a hobby. Now if your hobby was snorting coke or something along those lines *heh get it?* then I could understand.

My wife plays 40k with me, and is going to be starting her own Tyranid army in a few months (yay!) so she would never ask me that one. Besides she knows how I feel about this hobby, and knows she would probably be sleeping on her moms couch that night.

At that point, you don't wonder what you would say about the matter, you wonder what the hell led you down to that ultimatum in the first place, because it sure as hell isn't going to be about the tiny toy soldiers.

I hate it when females try and make a guy choose between them and a hobby they love before they came in the picture. Even I wouldn't force a guy to make such a choice...

So does the question change from " If your gf/wife told you it was her or your 40k stuff what would you do?" to "who is the one with the serious issues in the relationship?" because it seems to me either the guy is a donkey cave who spends too much time with his toys and neglects his gf OR that his gf is a psychotic controlling *bleep* who really needs to take a step back and realize he had a life before he met her. /end rant. All that really matters in the scenario is who's the bad guy - wherein it becomes a grey area.

Fafnir and tigonesskay both made good points.

But then you also have the guys that take their hobbies too far (you know the types that end up on dr. phil). But wouldn't a person realize "something is not quite right..." Before they get to that point in their realationship??

My girlfriend has been enabling me for close to 2 years now, so thankfully this isn't a problem. Even so, if someone can't understand what makes you happy, they're not someone you should be wasting your time with.

Binky hit the nail on the head with that one. :thumsbup:

My wife would never ask me to choose. After seeing my army she wants to buy me canvas and oil paints. i told ehr to buy me another deff dread.

I would pimpslap that girl so fast it's not even funny. Then I'd give her a choice: she could either make me a sandwich, or she goes back into her cage.

It's all about not letting your girl have ANY choice whatsoever in any situation.

What is a girlfriend?

ounumen wrote:My wife would never ask me to choose. After seeing my army she wants to buy me canvas and oil paints. i told ehr to buy me another deff dread.

Forgive me, since I'm kind of drunk right now, but I'd LOVE a canvas, especially over a Deff Dread. They cost about the same anyway. I don't know what's more outrageous. A 17*11" Canvas, or a Deff Dread.

Especially since you can make a Deff Dread out of the most random bits in the first place.

This is why I love you guys )

My girlfriend got me into 40K, so I doubt I will ever have that conversation with her.

We do sometimes have the same dilemma though - shoes or a new battleforce?

That depends on the shoes....

I have two problems with the OP's question:
1. I need to get a grilfriend/wife.
2. I'm indecisive, it would take me so long to decide that she'd get bored, walk out and I keep my 40K!!!

I hate it when you call me indecisive, well its not hate, its more of a feeling of mistrust or ........

The OC-D

I've had my wife say "Do you think maybe you're spending a little too much time with the 40k?"

And I totally was. It was when I first got into the hobby, and I was spending practically every weekend down at the LGS... She was well within her rights to point it out.

The GF in the OP was either not mature enough to have an actual conversation about the issue, or the 40k stuff was a composite for all the other problems in the relationship.

Women do not care what makes you happy.

Nothing makes women happy.

40k.

EDIT: Thats not an appropriate post is it. I should have said, get real and post like an adult, not a 15 year old basement dweller.

Immediately choose her. Then, starting with your lowest priority models, make a great show of messily and permananently destroying them. She should relent by the time you get around to anything you truly treasure, impressed by your loyalty and devotion to her.

The next day, bring home flowers and apologize for being such an insensitive such and such.

Within a week, you ought to have a wonderfully repaired relationship, and the go ahead to replace the models she was so silly to have insisted that you get rid of, as long as you don't bring it up.

Alternatively, you could simply keep your wife your number one priority and avoid these mind games.

Lets justs say... BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!!!

spamandchips wrote:Lets justs say... BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!!!

Drop the b##ch

If she can't accept you for who you are, then she is not the right girl for you.

Women have asked me to change myself before, little things like shave my beard, get a haircut, sell my car to get something more quiet, and before I have complied with them for the sake of getting pink for it. Lately I have realized that things like this are the eventual downfall of poisonous relationships. Now I am who I am, and if my lady doesnt like it, she can GTFO.

and the odd thing is, I get MORE pink now than I used to.

Aftersong wrote:sex > little plastic men and standing in a poorly ventilated room with a bunch of dudes who likely haven't showered yet this week

that basically sums it up.

40k can be my secret mistress or something hehe

I think before anyone can answer this question they should have to answer whether or not a girl has willingly allowed them to touch her in a non PG rated way and did not immediately take out a restraining order on them. If the answer is no to any part of that then shut the hell up.

I honestly couldn't imagine my GF doing this,basicly her motto is "handle your business" wich basicly means so long as I'm taking care of priorities (bills & bedroom) she pretty much lets me do what I want to.

My gf would never give me an ultimatum. She is actually glad i paint figures because that means i am at home.
As for the money 40k costs, as long as i pay my bills she doesn't care it's my money after all.

Its a confidence/ self esteem/ self worth thing IMO. Letting a woman walk all over you and drop your hobbies just diminishes yourself and makes you appear weak-willed, standing up for yourself and not compromising your life for her seems to work much better for all parites involved. Of course this is assuming that you have spent a great deal of time, money, and effort into this hobby, and it is a big enough portion of your life to prose this as an actual question, and not needless trollbait.

This is true but yet in every relationship there will be disagreements and fights, but you have to work through them with compromises and such.

My girlfriend doesn't mind, though she has stated she has no interest. She even got me into Star Trek a year and a half ago, which started me on my attempts to expand my nerd-ness in other directions (and how I came to 40k).

She likes the psyker minis though, as a Trek fan she's fascinated by the idea of Astropaths.

I wasn't referring to general arguements and disagreements, those are natural and should be worked through with compromise and understanding. I was refering to changing who you are, your personal identity.

Warhammer is a part of my life, I have been playing GW games for over 2/3rds of my time here on earth. If anyone asked me to quit playing, they had better have good reason for it, and companionship/sex/marriage is not a good enough reason. There are people who exist who will at least tolerate, and most likely accept my hobbies as part of who I am.

That, or there're some pretty serious issues there

As I said, I wouldn't give up my 40K unless keeping it meant poverty. But I wouldn't be a jerk about it either (Because -actually- calling her a Heretic would just make anyone look...yea ).

Being realistic this time, I would likely use something along the lines of "I'm sorry, but that's not going to happen. Trying to intimidate me just because you don't like my hobby doesn't mean I'm ditching it for you, the same as I wouldn't ask you to give up one of yours just because I dislike it. If you can't accept that, then you'll need to find someone else to try and use as a doormat."

Said in a calm voice, it's defiant yet polite. And it makes you look a lot more in-control of the discussion than "Shut the up woman!"

I was into wargaming long before I met my wife. And if she ever said that to me, my response would be along the lines of "then you don't get internet access to chat with your friends and mess with Facebook for 12 hours a day."

No, I do not have a happy, loving marriage.

that's heresy! which is fine with me.

It's not that I disapprove of it, I just don't think everyone needs to know.

I would leave her and never speak to her again because she is not the right girl then. Not that I could speak to me again. She would die on account of being in contact of a Plague Marine.

My wife plays 40k too, so there's no resentment for the hobby. When I go to a tournament, she hangs out and chats or watches, or goes shopping but generally doesn't play (because she doesn't like tournaments).

However, if I were dating or married to a woman who gave me that kind of ultimatum, she would go out the door, or I would. It has nothing to do with 40k in itself, but the fact that if you're in a relationship where your other half gives you ultimatums for anything at all, you're in the wrong relationship.

If your girlfriend says "me or 40k, you choose" you're obviously dating the wrong girl.
