Im a pretty heavy flight simmer, and last night my fiancee asked me "You going to do that after we get married?"

*major sigh* I told her "yes, and that I'm not going to drop my hobbies just cause I'm a married man, I wouldn't ask you to quit reading all those books I keep buying you now do I?"

I'm sure I'll hear more about it in due time.

Hey as long as you got it out in the open up front, then she has 2 choices. Live with it or leave. I am a heavy gamer and I dated my wife 3 years before we got married. I was a heavy computer-gaming-holic when we met and I still am. She had 3 years to adjust to it and I told her many many times if we got married, don't expect me to quit it. She, knowing this, still decided to marry me. Now, to thank her for being understanding about it, I consciously try and limit my time spent on the computer as long as she does not nag me about it. You know. . just to show her I do know she's there and I don't want her to be lonely. I have to constantly remember to stop and ask myself, "is there something else that I need to or promised to do? How many hours have I spent with her today? How many hours have I been on the computer? Have I been neglecting her?" It's hard because some games kinda suck me in and addict me. But, after all. . .the decision we made to spend our lives together was mine as well as hers.

I dont know why they (our wife, gf, fiance', or domestic partner [] have a problem with us and our computer hobbie. I love to play golf and racquet ball. But my #1 option is the computer. My wife doesnt complaint if I'm out playing golf or racquet ball, but I dont know why there is something about me being on the computer that she doesnt like.

It's because when you're out playing golf or raquetball you're getting exercise which will help you be healthier so she'll have you around longer, and not sitting like a lump getting fat and dumpy in front of a computer monitor. Once we start to accept that the women we supposedly love and who love us actually want our attention and want us around, and stop faulting them for that and just accept it, our relationships will probably go much better. Next time she starts nagging at you for playing games too much or spending too much time on teh intarweb, instead of assuming that she is doing it to piss you off, try assuming that she is doing it because she is lonely and she loves you. Puts it in a whole new light for me. After all, I don't want her getting bored and running around behind my back. If she does, then I have myself to blame for not listening. Sometimes, love takes more work than getting your WoW toon to level 60.

Dude...did you ever consider that next time she might be on the opposing team and snipe you masterfully just for not picking up the phone? :Q

I'm not to concern about the sniper scenario. However, the Spec Ops are my main concern. They are sneaky.......and I guess so is my wife :laugh:

I dont think she is concerned about me getting fat or dumpy (I'm neither). She is just an attention junkie I guess. And with 2 children that we have, horses, other pets, and her working 55 - 60 hrs a week, I dont think she is lonely. The thing is I do make time to be with her.
