Okay, I'm going to chime in here.  I am our GM's SO,
and he is almost -always- harder on me.  Granted, half
of that is at my own request.  I want to be good, and
the best way to do that is to have it rough.  I will
admit that there have been times in the past when we
were first together that this was an issue, but I but
an end to that bull and grew up.  

In general, though, I agree with you; GM's can easily
feel pressured into making things easier on their SO,
especially when that person's not a regular player and
they want to make the SO feel included.

Thanks for the feedback, having a "stupid player
trick" refuted feels nice.

Oh, and please notice I've tried to make these
comments are gender-neutral as possible; (a) I don't
like to stereotype, and (b) I -do- live near San
Francisco.  *wink*
