Lindsay vs WOW

Nathan and I haven't had time alone in over a week, and unless one or both of us cancels something, we won't for at least another week. I can cancel belly dancing on tuesday, but it would only buy us a couple of hours, or Nathan and I could both cancel gaming on sunday, or me cancel gaming and him cancel his WOW raid group on wed, which gives us most of the day, or he can cancel WOW on friday, which gives us the whole day.

So what do we do, we ask one another. He wouldn't come out and offer to cancel gaming on friday. But logic dictated that friday would give us the most time for the least sacrifice. Which I stated.

Do you want me to skip WOW?

Yes. I think that would be best. It makes the most sense.

Ok.

...But let it be known that I chose you over WOW!

*roll my eyes*

He didn't whine though. In fact he was very much the martyr about it. I almost felt guilty. But not quite, because it's still a dumb frickin' game.

Still, our relationship is built on discussing these issues rationally, and not making demands or guilt trips, and I appreciate that. These things don't turn into huge snarling fights like some couples. We communicate our needs and do our best to meet one another's. It's hard, but I can't imagine how much harder it would be to maintain a relationship where I couldn't communicate with my lover, or he didn't hear me.
