[QUOTE="Crothian, post: 401658, member: 232"] This sounds like a time issue. Ways to help this out might be like spending more time with your wife during the week. Are there other things that keep you to apart besides work? If there are many things keeping you apart she just might be putting her foot down on this one activity. Also, you mentioned doing things useful. I've explained it to girlfriends who didn't understand that is my guys day out. Some guys get together with their frioends to drink, go to bars or strip jionts, watch sports, or other activities. I get together with my friends and game. So, compared to other activities I could be doing gaming is one of the better ones. Now, to the Geek part. I'm not sure how this can be handled. So, if I put my foot in my mouth here, I apologize. Does she think you are a geek? Does she not like your friends? Perhaps she is insecure about the relationship and things gaming will change you into someine else. That is just a wild stab in the dark by the way. The best advice is always to sit down ant talk with her. Communication has always been the best solution in my experience. Perhaps, while you game you can suggest activities for her to do. THat way you aren't out having fun while she's stuck at home. Good luck with this. [/QUOTE]
