Well CM/FM is something that has always taken up a lot of my life, working full time, having a girlfriend and hectic social life its hard to fit it all in sometimes.

Still I can't bring myself to stop playing it just yet, I still feel that on the whole the game is improving all the time and is forever challenging me.

There's plenty of life in this one just yet!

Don't get me wrong, I love the game. But I'm going to take some time off and see what else I can do with my time. I was playing over 20hrs per week, imagine what other productive things I could be doing! It's scary.

I have a wife and 3 kids. Working in a pretty stressful job, leave house at 7.30 back in 18.30, have dinner, play with the kids, take the older one to basketball/football training etc and then put them to bed at 20:00ish. Spend some time with the wife, watch a bit TV and then its FM08 time.

I regularly spend 2 hours per night on the game (even more on a Fri/Sat night). She hates it - but I find it de-stresses me)

Get a laptop.

You can sit in the living room with the missus while she watches Come dancing or whatever and you play FM. That way you're both together, but happy.

Works for me :thup:
