typical nightfall for me:
Wife(W): You waste too much time on video games. You should be hanging out with me in the living room.
Me(M): You're watching terrible reality TV, how is that any better use of time?
W: I just want you out here for us to spend time together.
M: Well how about we spend some time together in here while I play video games?
W: I am not gonna sit there and watch you play that stupid game.
M: Well I'm not gonna watch lifetime and I think time to ourselves is healthy, so. . .
*huffing and puffing from wife*
*doors slamming*
*icey stare as she walks by*
*I relent and go to living room; wife seems satisfied but soon buries head in smart phone, leaving me to watch 27 dresses and make futile attempts at conversation that involve a typical response of: "uh-huh." or "no."*
M: Could we watch something else?
W: YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT ANYTHING BUT YOURSELF. WHY DOES EVERYTHING HAVE TO BE ON YOUR TERMS?!?!?
M: WTF? I just wanted to watch something we agree on.
Rewards: Crying wife who claims I've emotionally abused and neglected her.
[spoiler]The Drunken Wife modifier makes this nightfall much more intense.[/spoiler]
Seriously though, this woman used to play Borderlands with me, a lot. . . then we got married.
MORAL: Women lie, manipulate, and do anything else in their power to try to gain control of you. NEVER, EVER get married, just don't do it. Modern marriage is a trick, a mechanism of control for the new "modern","independent" woman.
Edit. I tried to make this funny but it became more of a vent. I mean, you never know somebody. If I'm ever single again, I will remain that way for the rest of my life.
Edit 2. A lot more responses to this than expected. It's awesome, in a sad kind of way, to know I'm not alone in this and I appreciate all the replies. I don't think women are evil, and I don't hate women. I would just advise anyone who thinks they may have found "the one" to spend as much time dating and living with them as possible before taking the plunge. Me and many others have found that the woman we dated is not the woman we married, and I'm sure many women have the same problem with the men in their lives. My stated views on marriage as a mechanism of control that greatly favors women still stand.

"hanging out" is not enough. It has to be "quality time" even though she can't say what would constitute "quality time" in a daily routine. Its up to me to figure that out.
-
Last night my wife told me she was a different kind of woman. I can't help but think of that when I see this comment (and thread), why? She does the exact same thing. I can't think of the last time she suggested something that we do together. I guess we've missed some cryptic hints somewhere.

I see what you did therr

I never married my girlfriend. We had two boys and lived together for 8 years. As of last month I am now single, see my kids on weekends and play Destiny without hassle. YAY ME! She was very similar to how you describe your wife but now I'm free and she has a non game playing lover. Winning

Husband won't play destiny with me he would rather do his computer programming. At least I want to play a game!!!
-
Amen!!!!!

As mentioned in various replies, this is typical for the NES generation. The problem, as I see it, (Married for 5 years, together 7) is that women often do not have a hobby (as suggested by another below). Hell, I played every sport known to man when I was younger. I was out of the house and getting into everything, while still playing everything dating back to the Atari (Who here can relate?!? :). Then you get older and still want something that comes close to the parallel of athletics. This is where gaming comes in. Its social, its competitive, and its a hobby. MOST women, it would seem, do not have a pass time so they feel abandoned by their husband (if you're still single, then you'll have a lot to learn). Women need a hobby beyond the rubbish of Facebook and reality TV. Likewise, men need to understand when is to much. There is room for both in marriage. It takes the willingness to find out the thresholds so both man and woman are happy. This is a mature post for MEN who know where I am coming from. You youngsters.... ~(Give a 1 up if you remember Joist)... you know who you are~

It is known.... next stage - Divorce

Edited by Banjhex: 1/15/2015 6:18:18 PMI am glad I am not the only one. Except my wife is Little women of LA, Vanderpump Rules, and all the real housewives.

Feel your pain. My solution: 22 inch TV in the living room. When wifey wants to watch real Housewives of Khazakstan, I bring up the Xbox, grab a comfy chair and game away. Only downside is fireteam members sometimes get annoyed by the sounds of Kortney and Kim in the background.
-
Rotflmao! I guess the background noises must really kill the mood during a raid. Good idea with extra tv though.
-
HAHAHAHAHA I rarely actually laugh out loud at shit I read online but the "fireteam members sometimes get annoyed by the sounds of Kortney and Kim in the background" hit me right in the feels. Thanks for a good laugh.
-
Did the same. Now the tv is a permanent fixture in living room. Company always kinda laughs when they ask why is there 2 tvs in living room
-
Just gotta grind it out dude.... lol Nice One Good Vibes Always Guardian
-
Epic...greatness

This, my friend, is the best thing I have read today

-
My wife is exactly the same word for word lol.
-
This is a woman response: if that ended up being real then she's probably on her period. Periods make us monsters. Ps Vita can support Destiny with the Ps4. Just sayin. ;D Ps Vita + mobile Destiny + being with wife = everyone's happy!
-
A woman's response: Being on your period is no excuse to treat your SO like shit.
-
If it was one time, it's understandable. If it's all the time, that's a completely different story.

Edited by Rymister104: 1/15/2015 10:49:01 PMI don't think having a period is an excuse to berate anyone; I've had kidney stones and I didn't scream at her. The time a kidney stone sent me to the hospital I told her it was okay if she left to go get her book signed by Nicholas Sparks even though that meant I had to wait for a ride in the lobby for an extra hour. It is possible to be in pain and emotional, while not being mean. None of this is to say that people aren't allowed to have their moments, just don't make excuses. When I'm an a-hole(which I am sometimes), I just say I'm an a-hole; otherwise I might get in the habit of being one every time traffic is bad because that makes it okay. Sorry for the rant, period excuse is a pet peeve.

From what you're saying it just sounds like she seems to put her needs and wants way ahead of yours. :(
