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]

3 RepliesHA! Same here! And my girlfriend is just over 5 months pregnant...... And I don't see reason ever making a comeback for me lol!

3 RepliesI'm pretty lucky. Me and my wife work different schedules most of the week. The nights when we're both off we hang together. The nights she works late if I'm playing a game she doesn't care (she typically doesn't care anyway as long as the bills are paid and she's getting laid on the regular).

4 RepliesJust celebrated 24 years and have a teenage son that is often on my fireteam so there is a small (or large) amount of rejoicing when we head for the man cave and wife/daughter get some peace/quiet.

1 ReplyMy wife isn't much of a gamer, shell play some wii and ds games, but thats it. Obviously, the relationship takes precedence, but its important to have time for your own personal hobbies as well. My solution has been that tuesday night is my video game night, meaning that i play from the time i get home from work until i go to bed. The other nights of the week i spend with my wife doing other things. I also have a bout an hour each day to play before she gets home from work, so i still get some time each day. On top of that, almost every friday night i play after she goes to bed, and if there is an event going on like iron banner this week, i let her know in advance that i will be playing more than normal that week. Its not that she needs to approve or anything, but rather that communication and understanding are important to a marriage. My advice, set a day that is your day, that you get to play no matter what, or set up a time period where you can play each day as your time. Since she is sacrificing some time for you to do something you enjoy, you need to sacrifice some time doing something she enjoys as well. Just communicate with her what you want, and whatyou expect.

3 RepliesAll you poor fellows saying how you have to wait til she's in bed or wait til she's out of the house or even resorting to scheduling around doing the stuff you want to do is going to leave you miserable! Your passionate hobby shouldn't be something that needs to be rigidly structured! It should feel organic and naturally occurring! Setting aside times when you can play only creates a sense of burden in your mind, your girl becomes a goddamn chore, something to get out of the way so you can get back to [i]doing what the f*ck you wanna do in the first place[/i]. Nutshell: if she doesn't like it, she doesn't like you.

16 RepliesMy girlfriend and I live together and she doesn't care. She's super cool like that. But when she says 'get off'... my ass shuts it down.

26 RepliesI really need to start a clan for us guys trying desperately to squeeze in a couple hours here, a couple hours there around the wifeys schedule. Maybe run half raids, some PvP, offer support group like therapy in whispered can't talk too loud she'll here me voices.

My fiancee hates me playing destiny, but if I play another game she's ok, but then again with just under 1700hours of game play, I really don't blame her xD

3 RepliesEdited by OshKoshTheJosh: 12/28/2015 8:23:32 PMYou bet man. Sitting on the couch on my phone/iPad for hours, or hell fell asleep watching a show she likes. As soon as I get off the couch... "Are you going to game now?"..... "Uhh no....just uhhhh getting a drink, want one" Struggle is real. Luckily mine goes to bed at 8 with the baby.

1 ReplyGood luck with that 3 months idea. Almost as good as the time I thought teething would be "a rough couple weeks" when we had our first

Edited by Kone19ps: 12/29/2015 5:42:47 PMIt's destiny that makes my gf rage. Switched to bloodborne and no complaints yet....yet. I think it's the same thing over and over that gets to her

3 RepliesAlso no sex for another 6 months at least. Xbox is your new mistress, along with Mrs Palmer and her five daughters.

2 RepliesWife and I had our second on 10/28. Playtime has reached an all time low. Good luck guardian. 2 year old and 2 month old, life is crazy around my house.

I think her being pregnant is a very important part of the equation. You probably should only try and play when she is asleep or gone somewhere.

1 ReplyEdited by MDawg DizMizzle: 12/29/2015 5:04:17 PMWomen naturally hate to see men happy, especially if the man is in a happier state than she is. Some are more tolerant than others, but her being pregnant doesn’t help. My wife was fine during the first and became a form of Satan without Cocaine or coffee in the morning during the second. Once you understand this, you can talk about it and maybe see how you can alter your schedule and she can just accept the fact that you're gonna play.

1 Replymy GF supposrts my gameing time. hell she joys in when im on a game that allows local co-op. We get some good laughs out of it too seeing how she is newish to games.

34 RepliesAfter many years of observations I have arrived at this conclusion. Girlfriends and wives don't care what you are doing as long as you don't enjoy doing it. That applies to all activities. Think about it.

1 ReplyI'm married and play video games. Doesn't bother me if my husband plays them.

2 RepliesEdited by Co1d Night: 12/29/2015 3:42:16 PMHonestly...if something as petty as playing video games causes issues in a relationship, then maybe it's time to split. It's pathetic to see posts from men (sometimes women) complaining on how their SO gets angry with them when they play video games. People who are having these types of issues must've dated the person before they married them. Did the red flags just not appear? It's simple. If your SO cannot understand your hobby, then they're not the one for you. Don't make a lifelong commitment with someone who doesn't share or respect your hobbies.

10 RepliesI had this exact fight the other day. She comes home and sees me playing and immediately gets angry. I then Ask what she would of done if she would of came home and seen me watching tv and she said nothing. Women (not all) just do not like gaming systems at all. My wife can hear me power up my PS4 from across the house and then say "what was that? I hope you aren't doing what I think you're doing" . I will never get it. I'm jealous of guys whose wives/girlfriends don't care or play along with them. Mine just doesn't or ever will. I'm gonna go drink some coors light now

1 Replymy wife does the same thing. gives a shit about what I am doing until I turn on my xbox. as soon as it goes on, there are immediate honey-do's
