The OP hasn't chimed in in a while, but I find it pretty tragically funny that he's allowing someone else to tell him what to do, effectively running his life, and when he sees it happening on self-reflection, his response is "...I just want to die."


Step one: own your own life, it is the only thing that you truly own.
Step two: grow a pair and stop being so passive/lazy.
Step three: this is definitely not someone else's fault, this is your own doing.

Makes me happy that my wife loves me. :)

Do not allow your SO to tell you how to live your life, its one thing to have a kid and need to tend to said child, but when your SO brings kids into the mix and does not respect you enough to understand that you-
1) do not want to watch her kids
2) that you have things that are important to you
3) are not her/his baby sitter

Your SO needs to be informed of a few things-
1) how you feel about her/him
2) how watching the kids makes you feel
3) that her/his kids need to have some disipline put to them

A long time ago I told my wife (before we married) that if she hadn't been a gamer, if she hadn't understood how important that release/hobby is to me that we would not progress any further. She knew that, respected me (still does), and knows how much I care about her.

Now with a child of our own we have to slow the game down, we have to take lots of breaks, and admittedly things could be less distracting, but if its the kid or the gaming? The wife has volunteered to take care of the kid while she's awake on game day and game only when she (our daughter) is asleep.

Would I leave gaming or her? Gaming, I would step away, why? I love them both more then gaming.

Does your SO feel that same way? From what you wrote here, not sure but I would say there is a lack of respect for sure. :\
