Well after being away on a work contract for a couple of weeks, I came home to a nice relaxing spell at my place to send a little time with the wife and enjoy the peace and quiet. The very next evening, while my wife was in the shower, I logged on to play a little MW4. Lost track of time and never noticed how quiet it had gotten in the house. Finally went to bed only to find my pillow on the couch. I have since been told that my MW time has been restricted and I have to ask permission to play. It seems someone is feeling neglected and ignored. I never saw that coming. I feel as if I just materialized in a spawn surrounded by BS. Lesson of the day.... Learn to recognize the warning signs of an irate spouse. OK. Let the jibes begin.

Sorry to hear it Man.
May i suggest flowers, a meal, and possibly chocolates. But not all at once, otherwise it'll seem as if you're doing it just to make her happy. Spread them out over a week. Works like a dream

That's one of the good reasons my wife and I work seperate shifts...lol I might suggest you remind her that you could be at the bars (that is, if your a Drinker) ;D instead of being safe and secure@ home playing Mech. Worked for me

the great thing is...my wife just started a job working 2nd shift and i work 1st so IF i get the urge to start playing mech again really guys, i'm having a very, very, extremely hard time convincing myself i want to play anymore, that's why i haven't patched up my game.

Well she has reined me in somewhat. Seems she has been reading an article about online gaming addictions. I admit that my record with Sim City and Treadmarks has worked against me. I think I may be getting her to come around. I think she just wants to see me "do without" and not go nuts.

Boy, looks to me like this is a hot topic. And some good ideas also. I've only been married for 23 years. But in that time , there is one very important leason I have learned about woman. They are very sensitive to your attention, or lack thereof. And rightly so, Your the one that asked them to marry you. So do try to do what you can to patch it up, it will be worth it. Plus over time,women can tend be pretty forgiving, so ya got that working for you. When I first started playing MW, I got a bit obsessed with it, I must admit. So to keep peace in the house, I curbed it down to only on the weekend. I told her it's my time with the guys. And she pretty much has accepted it, and even asks or reminds me if I have a match coming up. Anyway I'm sure you'll figure out what works for you.

Yeah I know this is a big bump. But this thread deserves a reply.
Married 16 years here. First off, if your wife is in the shower, and you were just getting back from being away for a while that *should* tell you something!
Heck, it's been 16 years, but I would choose wife over Mercs any day...I would be polite and tell the boys g'nite gotta go see ya. But, hey. Priorities and all.
The "I could be in a bar" is an excellent argument. However, you could also be in a bar, with your wife. I've seen that arg fail because of that.
Spend time with your wife. Get a regular schedule down - so that she gets used to your "gaming time".
