Destiny may cause divorce

Ok I know that it is probably ridiculous to air your "dirty laundry" on the internet but I am in dire need of suggestions answers, or counseling lol. I have been playing video games since 1979 and my wife knows my number one hobby is video games, I work a lot of hours and have a stressful job as I manage six different businesses in ONE office by myself! That being said I "unwind" of an evening by playing destiny. Let me get to the point here folks so your not snoring at the end of my whining heh. I joined a group that were trying to play through the vault of glass and she overheard a female voice on my headset and completely flipped out on me. "now you have a girlfriend to play games with you I hope your happy" was her statement. And continued to badger me so I had to turn my MIC off so the other players couldn't hear her yelling at me. I was extremely embarrassed because I know the other players heard the first part of her yelling. As a side note I have been with her for eleven years and we two kids together, and no I have never cheated on her EVER I have morals. So she has no reason to distrust me. She now checks to see if I am talking with a female on the headset every time she walks into the room, I then offer to hand her the MIC to check. I feel like I am not supposed to even do what I have done for 35+ years which is play games and destiny requires you to have other members play along side you in missions and or strikes, have even explained to her I needed a group of six players along for the VOG so I am at a loss here. Am I doing something wrong by playing with females on a damn video game? I don't think so! Any thoughts advice you can give me (male or female) is greatly appreciated... Many thanks for your time!

  • She is insecure, and needs to get over it. Unless, she has reason to doubt you - not necessarily because you have actually cheated - but based on your general behavior, gaming or not, in how you regard/speak of women, or your manners in general..however, that - right that, what I just wrote - can only come true with years and years of communication problems, etc. So either she is insecure, to which there is a way around it, get her involved and heck let her listen to the players from the TV, or ask her to get a hobby. Ultimately - as a lady here, I think she wants your attention and seldom gets it because you might have it divided into so many things, and hearing a girl on the mic won't help the matter as she is already fighting for your time and attention and always gives in because you chose the console over the bonding time. Just sharing several options - and my recommendation to you is compromise and make some time for her, or tell her to get over it and stop being so insecure, you are with her and not them. But still...yikes...a game is not worth any of this to begin with. Good luck.
