ftg87 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Don't you think maybe that if you have had 3 failed relationships because of FM that is might be time to re-evaluate your priorities? Much as I love FM and play as much as I can, I'm not stupid enough to play it so much I alienate people from my life Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike7077 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Is it just me or do too many people start threads with the well-worn phrase "is it just me?"? FM is great, but I always think there must be something else wrong with a relationship if it ends because of the game, and that the game is just an easy excuse.

Loversleaper Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Women need all this romance and sunset stuff apparently in these 'modern' times. Like my woman said the other day "make love to me like they do in the movies", so I grabbed her real hard and stuck it up her bum...she looked back at me and said "honey, I don't think we see the same movies..."

Ryds Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 It's the women, not you. There will always be an FM every year, you can rely on that. You should stop trying to form relationships with annoying womenbanshees who only get in the way of your FM time. They will lead you astray and probably to administration, or at least relegation. Don't trust any hitlerwomen who will try to come between you and FM. I would probably stop going outside as well and disconnect your phone and TV. There are loads of boringwomen outside and they are all over the television and anyone of them could distract you. The voice of the speaking clock is sometimes a women, don't listen to her, use the clock in the right hand of your screen when you play FM in windowed mode.

baker.simon Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Im with the first few posts (ftg87, campbell1892). I too believe its maybe partly down to you. Relationships are 2 way streets with give and take on both sides, if you cant at least do that then im afraid you can play as much FM as you like as you will probably never form a proper relationship. Try to compromise, my wife moaned about how much time i spent upstairs on the computer. She thought i was cheating and watching porn, then she found out it was FM that was my secret mistress and was relieved. As a compromise, i bought a laptop so i could play downtairs whilst she watches Eastenders, Corry etc. I am the king of smooth Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am in fact married to the world's greatest women , when she leads me to distraction/relegation I really don't mind Compromise like you say is the key in any relationship, blaming a failed relationship on a computer game is a pretty tenous excuse - using it three times would lead me to think that the OP is joking or has other issues he needs to look at.

DanGLiverpool Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I put the blame fully on you. I could understand if the girl isn't getting attention that she would leave. Think of it the other way round. If your girl was consistently ignoring you, while doing something she enjoyed 24/7, you would want to leave wouldn't you. Put down the game, and explore the female body. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike7077 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Wow, so many god-awful stereotypes and cliches in this thread.

Lusitano Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Man, it's you, my fromer girlfriend complained alot abou my time at the pc playing fm, my current girl, doesn't complain so much, but there are time your girl is more important than everything else. A quick advice buy a laptop and use the excuse to go to the WC to play Fm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GillsMan Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Not really sure why it's an either/or thing really. Play a bit of FM. Pay a bit of attention to your g/f. Simple. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevicus Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Why dont you play it when she is either not around or busy? My girlfriend understands that i love FM, (she fails to see why im interested in managing teams i dont support) but she dont mind as long as i dont stop plans just to play the game. Im sure you can work out a rotaition policy and you should find a girlfriend who is either: A) a gamer who you would probably be fighting to play the game B) understanding of your love for the game and accepts the ours that you put into it. It all comes down to the level of attention you pay your partner Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobMUFC08 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Well due to playing FM to much ive lost my girlfriend, my part time job and got kicked out of college for not doing any work, but in all seriousness you cant sit down at home about to do some work on the computer when you see the football manager 09 shortcut just sitting there on your desktop.

I would have to disagree with you there if he want's to be on top: more offensively, higher d-line + extremely high closing down and focus passing through the middle. I'll agree on the less-timewasting part and faster tempo, he just has to exclude run with ball and long shots... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandy_Tait Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 My wife married me knowing that I loved her more than CM/FM only because she didn't need patching three times a year. As it stands, she puts up with my FM obsession and I put up with her Martha Stewart obsession (the homemaking stuff, I mean, not a secret lesbian crush). Some people say that romance, passion, trust and fidelity are the most important things in a relationship. Nuts, say I, the most important things are tolerance and patience Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
