    I tried that and it has actually come back to bite me in the ***. I told her I understood that she felt that I was neglecting her, so I told her I would cut back and that I would at least get a few hours on Saturday to play (she goes to see her mother every Saturday).

    Problem is that I ended up loosing ALL of MY time Saturday because I had to have regular maintenance done on the car and then stuff came up and I had spend MY time doing stuff for HER mother instead of getting even an hour of ME time.

    Did she compromise and say "I'm sorry you didn't get to play. You can play a little to make up."?

    NO!

    She's just like "Aw, you didn't get to play your game," and that was it. No offer to let me make it up even though I was giving up my time to maintain our vehicle or to run errands for her mom.

    Completely inconsiderate and I now wonder why I tried to compromise because I KNEW if the roles were reversed she wouldn't give two ****s about me.

    Seriously put your foot down on that one... You were supposed to get time, get it! You are both supposed to be happy in life, marriage/ relationships are not about kissing someone's a** till you die.

    Mine has the uncanny ability to want something/call me to tell me nothing/decide it's a good time to talk to me when I'm in the middle of large scale combat. Nevermind that I spend 90% of my time wandering aimlessly or idling, she only needs me when I'm in a life-or-in-game-death situation.

    "It won't kill you to go look up that number for me."
    "Yes it will, mutants are shooting at me. *click.*"

    As far as your wife goes, being as she's not a gamer she doesn't understand. I'm lucky enough that mine used to at least play WoW with me, so she knows how it is. I don't have any advice for you, other than that it's a lot easier to put up and shut up, than to try and have an opinion.

    Get a gamer for a girlfriend and make sure there's two xbox s and two TVs then buy her a copy when you get a copy then ya just play together (occasionally you have to stand watching their character during their long toilet breaks but if you can get them to go via the fridge it effectively saves you time)

    My wife is pretty tolerable with my gaming. I work 12 hour shifts at my job, so 3 days a week I cant game at all, im to busy with chores and work plus I have 3 young kids.

    Funny thing she said to me last night. She asked if I like my new game, so I said yes I do, then she went to say
    its alot better than you playing that realistic battle field 3 game, with all that shooting and blood flying around.

    I looked at her and said your absolutely right
