Irony level: High

By Anonymous - 15/07/2022 04:00

Today, my wife refuses to let me play my Xbox, except at the weekends, because it’s "a childish waste of time" and "we need to spend more time together", yet when we’re together she has no problem spending hours on games on her phone. No, she does not see the irony in this either. FML

When she starts on her phone, get up and go play XBox. She'll figure it out eventually.

That's not right. If y'all can get into therapy, that may help

What do you mean she won't let you? You're a grown man. If you want to play then do it. She can't stop you.

don't think that approach is especially helpful in an adult relationship. But it's not right, to be held from ones hobby is never a good sign in a relationship that is supposed to be equal and respectful

Suggest she play phone games while you XBox, or find out what kind of games she likes and get them for XBox to play with her?

Wow, such a small mind. Pc games and I'm not a fan at all, are great for practicing skills, coordination, memory, strategy. Surgeons used it to stay ahead. I let my man play every evening and weekend and sometimes I ask him to teach me. Hence we spend the together doing something he enjoys, and he takes interest in my hobbies that he doesn't like but loves that I am open to discussion and trying new things. I would leave him if I would have to be a mum to him and use parental controls. How do you get to marriage with someone so disrespectful of your interests and stay married?!

Usually it occurs due to marriage of convenience. It now takes 2 life salaries to live alone, bill wise. If the economy wasn’t such shit right now, i bet separations would be a lot higher. It’s almost too expensive to live now. Especially with rampant poverty and corporate abuse and greed
