Non gaming spouse problems

This seemed to be the best place to reach out with a question like this. My wife doesn't play games such as destiny. She's more into the "just dance" and "super smash bros" crowd. In her eyes, every moment I spend gaming is a moment I don't get with her, even if she's sleeping. I find myself scheduling my gametime after the test of the family has gone to sleep, and my normal sleep rhythm had gone to pot as of the last couple weeks. I have no more candle to burn. So after reading a thread here about managing game time, I'm now reducing the time I spend each day playing to completing the daily, weekly heroic/nightfall (if not done), and some farming to level up my gear. I wanted to say hi and thank this group for helping me mature a little more as a gamer. One final note, I have a good raid crew, but sadly we have yet to kill atheon. So while we may not have completed the raid, I'm willing to help out when anyone needs a +1 for most any event. Psn:Coedbeast (ps3 only) Happy hunting guardians Edit: I realized I never asked my question. Any suggestions on how to approach my wife about the game? Edit 2: such wonderful comments. I have some ideas on what to do now. Thanks for the help. Nice to know there is a great bunch of gents here willing to help. Look forward to playing the game with you all. Well, all you ps3 users anyway.

    I've a similar issue, maybe worst since yday my wife told me to pack and leave. She thinks I care more about playing than my family,which clearly is total bs. So we are fighting over a compromise: I want 2h after dinner or time after they go sleep. She wants me to not play at all. This means that there's no compromise at this time and I might as well start looking to sell my ps4. If anyone has any suggestion, please tell us. Because this crap makes me seriously consider packing instead . Ps. we have a 3months old baby that often sleeps like an angel for 8h straight.
