My girlfriend gives me a lot of grief for playing chess a lot. She says its a sickness and has actually put a password on the computer so that when I'm at home I cannot check my games. Does anyone else have this problem?

Work out a schedule when you check your games with her, she might feel neglected if you are spending way too much time on this site. The password thing is a pretty broad hint that chess might be causing relationship problems.
