Wives and destiny...
I could seriously be cutting myself in the corner and my wife wouldn't care, but the second that I walk towards the Xbox to turn it on, its always,"Are you seriously going to play Xbox right now?"
Anyone else's wife always feel slighted when the games go on?
Edit: Just to clarify, I love my wife and she definitely comes before video games. I just think it's a little ridiculous how she couldn't care less about what I am doing until the Xbox/ps4 comes on.
[spoiler]but then again, she is 6 months pregnant with our second child, so reason has left the marriage equation and isn't expected to return for around 3 months...[/spoiler]

Edited by Hypothermia: 4/30/2016 6:41:33 AMI've posted this before but I'll post it again because it's relevant: Here's how to turn that around (been married 25 years, trust me on this one). Every chance you get, just start hitting hit her up for sex...all...the...time. Seriously, after about a week of this she will just start AUTOMATICALLY saying "don't you have an Xbox / PS4 to go play with?" every time you hit her up for more sex. If that doesn't work, at least you are getting more sex. TA-DA! Win - Win

Edited by Striker93175: 1/7/2016 1:43:45 AMFull disclosure prior to any relationship... Look, I've been playing video games my entire life starting on my grandfather's radio shack 386/66 and my Atari 2600. Video game have been in my life longer than any woman ever has or ever will short of my own mother. I'm letting you know this right now because it's something you can't change and if your uncomfortable with it, there's the door.

I am a wife who can relate!! My husband gets upset when I am gaming. I can be ignoring him and doing anything else, but as soon as I go into my "woman cave" to play games he feels the need to come and sit next to me and tell me all about how we need to spend more quality time together. He does not game at all. :( I always laugh when he tells me to just "pause" the game and take a break for awhile. I keep telling him there is no pause button! :)

1 ReplyI usually wait till my wife is falling asleep before I go on the 2-3 hr grind. Except raid night, that one I start as soon as the kids go to sleep. When your new baby comes (congrats by the way) let her sleep some while you game and take the new born when he/she wakes up for food (assuming you are bottle feeding). Hopefully if you have a raid team they understand when you need to afk for a bit to calm down the little one. Good luck!

2 RepliesI promised my mrs i wouldn't play xbox for a month if she baught me the new remote controlled collectors r2-d2. She bought it for me :) Now I'm both happy and sad. However.. I bought her dildo to counteract this.. We'll see if my cunning plan works lol

10 RepliesDude you are not alone. I call my wife "The Fun Police." I could sit on my butt and watch tv, but if I climb up into my fort while she is awake (yes, I built a fort over my garage just to play video games), it's over. I'm busted.
-
Tell her that destiny rules haha
-
You need an upgrade. My wife brings me snacks when I play.
-
No. Believe it or not, my wife bought me my PS4 and Destiny.
-
1 ReplyWife saw my other post in the thread, i'm done for, save yourselves!
-
Try getting some friends to come over and play together. Seeing real people makes it easier for my wife to accept as opposed to just some voices in a headset. Make it like a poker night except with gaming of the video kind replacing the cards and chips. That has eased my "pain" somewhat.

Edited by IBDAeViLmOnKeY: 12/30/2015 11:35:12 PMI have news for you. The reasoning is gone and will never return. It will only get worse once the kid is born. Don't forget she is preggers feeling terrible about her body, baby brain, needs attention, horny(yeah, this will end too lol) and wants to be comforted. Practice playing with the man in the boat, it might get her off your back a little each day.
-
Haha mine is the same talk to her all day. I take her out on the jet ski go out to lunch with her be by her side near every minute we r not working and the second she hears the playstation beep as it turns on her ears perk up and I here "are u really going to play that. I quess I will just sit here bored then" I just turn around and say as long as your quite while being bored I don't care what you do Haha. [spoiler]after I say that I'm usually in the dog house that night haha[/spoiler]

My wife would do the whole "seriously? Aren't you sick of that God damn game?" To which I would usually reply "...huh? Yeah it's in the... thing..." mid-raid. She eventually gave up and took up crafts and knitting. Made me a onesie! :D stand your ground man, you could also get a onesie some day. You cave one day and it's all over. Next thing you know they sold your kidney on etsy for Beyonce concert tickets and left you with the wee one. Don't be that guy.

I got my wife a ps4 and a profile so she can play too. But she wants to get another tv so we can put it on the wall in living room so we can play side by side. Playing in bed room while I'm in the living room is just like playing alone she says. So if building a game station in living room is what I must do. Then I will. Marriage is all about compromise. Lol

1 ReplyWe should nerf wives. Do it Bungie!

I know your pain lol.

1 ReplyWell I'm a wife that plays Destiny. My husband says he's lucky lol.

2 RepliesNo. But my wife likes to -blam!- with me when she knows I'm playing with friends. It's actually kinda cute, she will intentionally talk louder and try to make jokes [spoiler]her jokes aren't that funny, but I laugh cause vagina[/spoiler] and if I try to ignore it she'll poke me in the face. Once I stop playing with my friends, she could care less what I'm doing.

6 RepliesTry having a 3 month old puppy

It's not about what you do, it's what you're not doing when game is off.
-
Easy solution: [spoiler]Make her some brownies or a cake[/spoiler]
-
Remember to earn your brownie points!!! Help out with the chores and kids, esp waking up in the middle of the night to attend to them. Let her rest and you will score major points!!! Talk to her before you play, spend time with her (movie, Tv series etc), give her a massage and then go raising. Oh yeah that works for me!

1 ReplyEventually your kids will take over the video games and you will have to watch mine craft or something like that being played all the time :(. So get as much gaming as you can in lol.
-
You can't tell people not to get married or not to have kids. Some people it works and some it doesn't. I play just as much as he does but it shouldn't affect work or home stuff. If playing gets to be more important that life stuff, you should be single, living at home in your parents basement or with someone who is like you and doesn't care but if your jobless, homeless or sexless (not to many of those people have gf, bf or spouses), are you gonna become like a drug addict and steal games, console and WiFi to play?. Or you could just -blam!- for that stuff game whores... Think about that...
