Anyway, i'd suggest seeing a marriage councelor and talk with your wife about these issues your having. I have to say though 8:30 - 12 is way too many hours spent on the computer. Any woman would be pissed off. Just accept the fact that your getting a bit old for this and play when you have the opportunity, even if it sometimes means that you can't play for extended periods of time. | ||

if you dont like eachother, i would have expected that she would be pleased you are playing games and staying away from her. I understand staying together for the kids, but perhaps you can work things out. Im afraid I am underqualified for any suggestions, but I wish you luck - whatever path you go down i do not understand women + Show Spoiler + to draw on my own experience, just last night. I come home and my gf is in bed watching sex and the city. She wanted me to sit down and watch it with her. I sat with her for the rest of the episode. I then stared another episode and then pretended to go to the bathroom but actually just went to play starcraft... boy did I catch hell.. honestly.. wtf do i have to watch sex and the city for tho? i dont make her watch mlg... | ||

But basically, family should always come first. If your responsibilities are being taken care of (including your wife), there shouldn't be an issue. If there is, you should discuss it (in a civil fashion) with the person you vowed to be with for better or worse til death doth part you. If you really think divorce is the way to go, don't string it along - it's way worse on the kids, and they definitely pick up on tensions that you might not even think you and your wife are broadcasting. | ||

I don't see the problem with playing only 4 nights a week on weeknights.... Anyone else have similar problems? What did you do? Please respond only if in similar situation. I see that you ask for only those with a similar situation to respond. I am engaged but still very much in love with my gf. Based on what you've written, you don't seem to be having an SC2-related problem. If you would "happily divorce" your wife and if she drives you crazy, there are some serious relationship issues there that have nothing to do with a video game. I wish you the best and I'd advise some marriage counseling. But that will cut into your SC2 time. | ||

On another note, it sucks so many people are stuck in unhappy marriages... Society should really start supporting people dating for a few years and living together before marrying, much less having kids. From my experience you don't even know the person until you have dated 4 years and lived with them at least 2 years. | ||

I suggest you give up Sc2, for a while at least. Rediscover what led you to want to start a family with your wife. Maybe once your family life is in order you can find a balance where you can take care of what is really important and still have your hobby when its appropriate. I am not in the same exact situation but I am going to be married in two months. I have already given up gaming entirely because I know I cannot be a good Husband and eventually a good Father if at ANY point I have to make the decision between being with my family or playing games. The amazing thing that I've found is that while I've been preparing to take on the responsibilities of marriage I have actually lost my interest in gaming. Maybe you will find you don't want to game once your family is the main focus of your life. | ||

Just need to make sure you have time for everyone. I'm sure your wife wants to hang out and communicate some with just you after the kids have gone to bed, maybe cut down on SC2 and spend a couple quality hours with her. | ||

Just my opinion though, might be completely wrong. I gotta agree there. Sounds like you're not having any sexytimes 4 nights a week, everyone has their hobbies, but you wife needs attention, and if you guys don't work this out, it's going to suck. | ||

You should probably tell her you don't want to watch that TV show with her next time instead of sneaking off like that. Communication works wonders. | ||
