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!

  • Ok so I'm in my late twenties and I have been married to my wife for 7 years and we've been a couple for 11 years. I asked my wife if she would be bothered by me playing an online game with a girl on my team. Here's the response that I got; if it was a random game and the girl just happened to be on the team then it wouldnt bother her. But... if I went out of my way to play with a certain gamer friend that was a girl it would bother her. She told me that if I was using a mic with a girl gamer that I play with consistently it would bother her even more. She said that she would feel like I would be saying that I would rather be spending my time with another woman/girl. She said that she knows that it wouldnt lead to anything and that it would be harmless but that she would still be unhappy/jealous. My wife says that your wife might feel like you are spending too much time on the game and not enough with the family (she's speaking from her experience with my gaming hobby, and how she has felt at times). I dont think women understand that we need a break from evertything and everyone once in a while. Maybe just drop the mic when you can if there is a girl on the team, I know that Destiny is better when you can communicate with people on your team, but like they say 'happy wife happy life'. Maybe try having your wife hang out on a laptop or tablet near you when you are playing so that she knows nothing is up. Good luck.
