1 ReplyI'm in the same position man. I have a one year old daughter and I'm trying to take advantage of any overtime my job has available right now. It can be really hard to find time to sit down and enjoy a game. There's plenty of nights when the only thing on my PS4 is Netflix because that's how me and my wife chill at the end of the day. But there's NO WAY I would sell the thing, not even for a quick buck. Even if it's just a couple times a week it's still worth it to jump on and play with some friends. I would love to be gaming more and my wife probably doesn't understand that either, but that's not a good reason to stop gaming altogether. Just my thoughts...

I think this is a terrible idea and will only cause resentment between you two. Then you guys will end up getting in fights over silly things that don't matter, not realizing that it stems from her stifling you as a person. If she doesn't understand then maybe you married the wrong person. You should have an open discussion about not compromising who you are. There are few things as terrible as knowing that you're with someone who is not satisfied with you as a human being. There is no benefit in trying to change someone. You will only create walls between you.

Work 55 hours a week. Own a gf and a cat named momo. We got in a fight a few months ago. Gaming has been that kinda unwinding effect on me. I let her know that if it's not on my ps4 it will be on something else. The moment you said yes. You knew i was a game freak/nerd/whatever you call it. Did not sell the console, agreed on helping out more with the household xD Recieved my last missing exotic yesterday (hawkmoon) also maxed out already. So get it together. I game on Tuesdays. It has the resset on it. And i do w/e i want saturday night (xur) cuz she likes to go out with the girls. While i get the guys over for some oldschool gaming+chill+beer session.

2 RepliesWhy do straight men give up so much for a nagging woman??? Turn the tables and nag her about something you don't like and see if she sells it!!! I'm so glad I'm a homo!

2 RepliesI really feel conversation is key here. Have an open chat to your wife and see if you can develop a compromise. If you give up your games without talking about it you could fall into a trap where you feel resentful towards your wife for having made you make a sacrfice - a sacrifice she won't know you've made, or how much of a sacrifice it is to you or even why. If you haven't spoken about what's causing the passive aggressive behavior when you log off - are you even 100% sure it's the gaming that's the issue? Some compromise options could be - only game on weekends - limited hours gaming each weeknight - guarantee a certain amount of QT woth your wife when you get home (10mins, 30mins, an hour - whatever works for you as a couple then you can do your own thing after that) - get a second tv so your wife can sit with you and watch TV or movies while you game (or start gaming herself!) - introduce a weekly date night (not refresh night!) where you both go screen free Just a few ideas but communication is key to a happy relationship.

1 ReplyJust put it in the box.. pick a game night.. unpack, and repack when done.. out of sight out of mind.. its a solid compromise and will break the addiction.. you shouldnt have to go without.. find a happy medium..

Don't sell it. The moment you do, you will regret it.
-
Your quiting your job perfect..

How does that work exactly? Does she let you visit your balls on the weekend or did the vet keep them?
-
Probably around $400 or so. Maybe a lil more. Sell it, and when the Taken King special edition ps4 comes out in September, buy that one instead

I don't want to sound like a dick but you should have a talk with your wife on how to balance your work, love and personal enjoyment life.
-
3 RepliesI just want to add that you're a pathetic pussy. Let your wife take away this passion and she'll just take away another. Grow some balls and stand-up for yourself. If you're telling the truth, you're setting an awful precedent for your marriage. Whatever though, right? Enjoy your Sunday brunches and holding her purse while she shops...
-
Wtf sell you're wife
-
If your wife isn't ok with you doing what You enjoy, talk to her. If you can't compromise with her, sell her instead
-
$400 minimum. Any less and you're better off keeping it... My advice is to store it away for a few months but its your choice
-
2 RepliesHere's the deal. I have been down the road of selling my stuff for a quick buck. It's never worth it. You could end up wanting to wind down to it at some point and it would be gone forever, with someone else enjoying it, on tour own account nonetheless. Don't want it anymore? Put it the fuq down for a while. You never know when you could want to play again. Just stop yourself, before you regret it.

1 ReplyIf gaming is your passion you shouldn't give it up, sorry I can't help with identifying price points

6 RepliesBrother, don't sell your stuff. If your wife is getting upset with you for spending time doing something you enjoy, you need to have an honest discussion with her and work out a compromise. That could take the form of designated gaming times each night or something similar, but it's completely unfair for you to be forced to cut out a hobby you clearly enjoy because you're supposedly not fulfilling some vague social obligations. Do what makes you happy and never apologize for it.

Your wife will be missed...

3 RepliesThat sucks bro but don't sell your stuff, just take a break man. Give it a couple weeks and totally overdo above and beyond whatever she wants, she'll get tired of it and tell you to go play games or something lol.
