I will say that games without a pause button, like all MMOS and the From Software Souls games, piss my wife off a lot. She hates me not being able to pause and do stuff with her at a moment's notice. The irony in this is that we met playing EQ together for years, so she is herself an MMO vet. It really is all psychological, though, because we play Dragon Age MP together side by side on our PS4s and everything is hunky dory. She just wants to spend time doing stuff with me, which I greatly appreciate, so I don't get angry with her grumping when I play the occasional Souls game. Hell, she even took up playing in Warhammer tournaments with me all over the country.
Basic point, I think some of you guys are marrying showboat wives and finding out that its high maintenance bullshit. Those of us who married our best friends and share hobbies don't get hit with those issues as much. I really think some of the people posting here would be better served just shacking up with a bangmaid.
Well I think that any situation is a compromise. There's lots of things I'm happy with my wife about. Let me make a list:
1> She does not spend my money. She is cheap as fuck. This is a ridiculously admirable quality.
2> She spends multiple hours a day cleaning the house. This can be annoying when I want her to do something else, but hey, clean house? Free? Great.
3> She is smart. She works in finance and has an MBA. I don't have to dumb down the shit I discuss with her.
4> She has a high sex drive and is always down for whatever. This needs no explanation.
5> She looks stunning whenever we go out, which by extension makes me look good too.
6> Her genetics have given me ridiculously handsome kids.
7> She doesn't play any games with me or engage in any tit-for-tat in the relationship; we are honest with each other and have a very clean relationship in that whatever we need to talk about, we just talk about. A lot of people seem to have no-go issues with their spouse, for us it's all on the table.
For that, no relationship is perfect. She often wants me to come talk to her (basically entertain her) at times when she is just doing bullshit. She likes to watch a show and go to bed together at night, which is fine but often I could be doing something else productive, but this is our time together. Usually fine, but for her routines are pretty rigid. Because she doesn't like spending money, she'll hound me about buying stuff too, which is usually ok because it keeps me from overspending but other times, fuck its only a few bucks leave me alone. Nobody is perfect!
But often times you just hear us complain, when actually our wives are pretty great people. This is the complaint thread after all.
