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.

    Im also on ps3 add me. Thekilnor My wife plays games on her ipad but does not understand why i love this game so much. Like why when i work at 6:30 a.m. i stay up til 1:00 or 2:00 a.m. doing the raid or whatever. Truth be told though its not 100 % the game. Its the friends ive made here. Props to my main fireteam buds Papote and Vjhonno. Those 2 have become brothers to me. We get along great and usually know what the other is going to do before they do it. We think so much alike that we will often times shoot the same enemies at the same time! Lol. But again for me its the comrodity, doing things for the team. Edit* Sorry never answered the question. I try to explain she has her movies and tvshows that she likes to watch. And i have Destiny. She just doesnt like how late i stay up playing. Which is valid, and im trying to improve on that. But she will still give me a dirty look if i fire up ps3 while she is awake. She knows i play when she goes to bed, so when she has had enough of my game she will take the littlest girl (1 year old) up to bed then get ready for bed herself. She gets pissed listening to me talk to my bros for some reason.
