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.

  • Married with 2 kids (3 & 5 year olds). I basically try and stick to two days off, and one day on. Work 6 days a week, so on the day I actually play its always after the kids have gone to sleep. Luckily the Mrs is OK, as long as I spend quality time first and foremost with the family things go well. Doesn't always work, but women are women!
