[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Recon Number 54 My wife plays Halo.[/quote] Same here. We make a good team, I'm better at long distance kills (sniper, BR, rockets), and she is better at close quarters combat and sticking grenades. We of course have hobbies that we do independently of each other, but you also need hobbies to share together. This is actually a rendition of a larger issue she had better learn to deal with. The larger issue is that she wants to limit his time to her. If it isn't Xbox, it will be something else (too much sports, too much TV, too much time with his friends, too much time at work, etc. etc. etc.). In forcing him to focus on her she will eventually drive him away from her, because on a sub-concious level he will begin to resent her attempts to control his life. The bigger question is why she is not confident enough to trust him to manage his own time / hobbies, and why she doesn't attempt to understand his hobbies. Her insecurities are the bigger question he should be asking himself. Of course, the flip side of this coin is that HE should also respect her needs and wishes too. Its all about compromise. His gaming time may be less than what your used to, because he'll have additional responsibilities to spend time with her, but she should not close him off completely to "his" time.
