I use a panic screen that switches to some softcore p0rn. My wife has yet to catch on, and although she's still not crazy about Civ she did except my gift pearl necklace last night.
I think I would rather be caught playing Civ III than that...

any wife/gf who has problems with their S.O. gaming too much sounds selfish and immature. sounds like she wants to be the center of attention, especially if she watches lifetime. If she cannot compromise and allow you to have hobbies other than her, theres problems.
That is the issue in a nutshell.It's not the having a different hobby or a center-of-attention thing. It's the fanatical concentration we players put into the game.
Or my husband decides to cook dinner for me, and dinner is still sitting there untouched the next morning when I finally finish my game and shut off my computer.
I was still "finishing" when she came downstairs the next morning, and then I proceeded to nap away half of Saturday.
Mine hates it too. The way I keep her and me happy is to take breaks and sit with her while she is watching House Hunters. (obsessively) Sometimes I come up with new strategies during thses breaks.
WTF DUDE! You are the man, right? Turn that situation around... has she ever played CIV to please you? I dont think so, so why should you kiss her *beep* and watch House Hunters??

There's somethin' irresistabullish about 'em.
We grin and bear it 'cause the nights are long.
I hope that somethin' better comes along.
That is the issue in a nutshell.
We (players) just have to learn to come up for air, smell the coffee and experience that great big room that has the real high blue ceiling.
