We game on Fridays every week without fail save for major illness claiming two or more members, or if game night happens to fall on an anniversary, Thanksgiving or New Years. And even then we'll simply reschedule. One couple even drive almost an hour to come play.If your spouse has a problem with it? I'll say that if he or she cannot be parted from you for 4-5 hours once a week, you have a larger problem than trying to schedule for gaming. If they simply don't like you going off to 'waste time', sit them down and explain that not every hour of every day has to be spent doing something productive and that recreational downtime is just as important. They must have something they like doing that you don't like as much, but do anyway. They need to see that your need is as important as theirs. Relationship = give and take. Again, their problem, not yours. If they don't like that you game, then explain to them that it's just as important to your recreational social life as something they do. If they don't have any hobbies they like doing other than 'watch TV', then again, they have a problem, not you.</blockquote>
