 Posted: Mon, 31st Dec 2018 20:05 Post subject: SO on our hobbies |
|
 |
Reading what users have been playing along the year made me think about our SO ( if appliable ).
Question is simple, how is your SO coping with the time you spend on games? Did you find a balance between the hobby and the time spent for your relationship or you're all in gaming and fuck her/him, plenty o' fish in the sea?
--
To make it easier, i'll start, my wife knows I work a lot and don't have much time to spend on my hobby and so she understands. I also found a way to pay attention to her needs and our relationship, I do however strain from the path sometimes when games are too good ( looking at you God of War ) and then controversies rise .
Oh and Happy NYE humpers!

The waif is a gamer as well.
Only time she gets a bit grumpy is when I stay up all night for stupid shit like: E3 and such.

Mostly no comments. I mean, when I‘m in my „office“/mancave I‘m mostly working, amirite guise?
"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."

My wife doesn't care at all how much time I spend in my room gaming/browsing youtube/talking to friends on discord/teamspeak. (Which I hate to admit is 85% of my awake time as I also work from home in my office).
We've been married 20+ years, and the way she sees it is I COULD be doing way worst 'man' hobby things like out drinking with the boys every weekend, always at some sports game, spending tons of money on some expensive hobby like boat fishing, or out in the woods with guns with no way to contact for days on end hunting..But instead she knows exactly where I am, a few rooms away quietly doing whatever makes me happy in here. I dont mess up the rest of the house, its a (relatively speaking to what I COULD pick) cheap hobby, I dont hog the TV, and if she needs me she can just call for me.
As long as we have our acceptable level of family interaction, and a regular amount of sexy time..we are both good. And we are both sort of low maintenance, self reliant as far as our time needed with others. We do have our 'moments' where one of us feels like the other is up our ass all day being 'super clingy'. But most the time not.
I dont want to give the impression its one of those cold, dead marriages where we just exist near each other with minimal interaction. We both just don't need a lot of constant all day interaction to both be happy married. A few "I love you"s with a few passing kisses/pecks during the day, lay on the couch together to watch a 30 minute show together, and goto bed roughly at the same time (sometimes...Im an all-night owl a lot) thats all we need for a day.
For example every Saturday I run a online Pathfinder tabletop game online for my son and my friends usually as an all nighter, or at least until the wee-mornings hours. Shes totally fine with it, we work dinner and any plans around it and she leaves me totally alone for the whole 7-8 hours we play. Because she knows I'm just having innocent fun nerding around with my friends online...she don't mind it at all, there is WAY more annoying Saturday night hobbies a married man could be doing.

My wife knows what I like to do (gaming/movies/shows/reading) and has no problems with it. My gaming habits did change though, I get easily bored by games as I get older so my gaming time basically never exceeds 3 hours or so a session. It's mostly 1-2 hours per session now, I can't even game every day simply because I don't feel like it anymore. I work a lot so I don't have a lot of free time, I do it mostly after 11 PM and in the weekends. My wife is a morning person (I am not) so she pretty much always sleeps at 10.30.
Having no friends at all helps I guess, I've let that shit go a couple of months after I got married. I'd much rather play with my daughter instead of doing useless shit with friends.

no wife, no kids  freedom
but plz do spend more time with ur kids once they get little older, like with sports or game together cause my dad just sat in his chair 30 years watching television, buying me consoles and pc games early on, just to not have to spend time with me, but never spending any time with me playing them or even watching what i was playing, like ever ... gave me his old monochroom tv too so he didnt have tho share the main tv rofl and a gameboy to shut me the fuck up during driving to holidays
i hate him for that, so dont be like my dad. spend time with em as much as u can. and get mom involved too, wii bowling , or scrabble or pictionary, whaetever , anything.

Work and kids take most of my time. Usually spend time with wife after the kids are asleep. I get around 2 - 4 hours a week for gaming.
Wife not much into gaming but sometimes we play a coop game in vr.

I work so goddamn much that the rare time I actually have a couple hours to play she is actually happy for me which is good. Sometimes working 70 hours a week and basically paying for life has its rare instances of benefits.
