Today, my wife made a system where I earn gaming time by either giving her money or doing her favors. Now whenever I use my phone, she accuses me of "secretly playing Xbox games" and gets pissed at me. I'm 28 years-old. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
Today, I learned that my wife lets our son play video games while I'm at work to "keep him out of her hair." We had agreed that he was forbidden from gaming until his grades came up, but apparently she can't be bothered to actually parent. FML
Today, my wife is mad at me because she claims I don’t spend any time bonding with her son. It’s as though she refuses to understand that just because we are in different rooms, on separate PlayStations, doesn’t mean we’re not playing the same game, and talking through headphones for hours at a time. FML
Today, I spent some of my pay on a birthday gift for my wife. She found out about the money going missing from our account, and now she thinks I'm having an affair. I work 24/7 and barely have time to see my friends, let alone have an affair. FML
Today, my wife bitched me out 3 times in a row, for things that were not even my fault: for turning my Xbox on, even though I only nudged the button accidentally with my toe; opening a beer when it was actually a Pepsi for our son, and walking loudly when I "know she has a headache," which I didn’t. FML
Today, I found out that my 43 year-old wife has been having a cyber relationship with a 14 year-old kid on Halo. FML
Today, I was savagely beating my wife on Call of Duty, since she demanded that I play normally and not hold back. 15 minutes later, she was raging at me, calling me a bastard and saying she wished we'd never married. FML
Today, my girlfriend likes playing games on her phone more than she likes me. FML
Today, my girlfriend destroyed my Xbox, because somewhere in her psycho brain she actually thought it would get me to pay more attention to her, even though I only play 3 hours on a Sunday. Joke's on her, I bought a new one, she’s back on the streets, and I play it a whole lot more now. FML
Today, my wife says she's not hiding money from me but I checked our joint bank account, which I no longer use, and find she's been transferring money in-and-out of 3 accounts, while taking money from me and getting payday loans to cover it. FML

This is the point when you move out ...

@85, @95, @132 Wow... And here I thought women like you were a dying breed. Glad to see there are still some out there. I never understood how people could just take over the others life. A relationship is about commitment and equality. As long as you spend enough time together, you should also be entitled to alone time if you want it. After all, you didn't marry so that you could never EVER be alone again. Or be forced to give up all your hobbies and free time. If someone is that controlling, it isn't a relationship.

You're 28. If you want to play video games, do it. Conversely, if you get divorced because your wife can't stand you acting like a child, well, that's her choice.

I guess I missed the part about marriage being a slave contract. I'm still at the part where it's about equality and love. If she treats you like that it isn't love. So either talk with her about it, or divorce her and find someone better. To everyone who thinks this is okay how would you feel if it was reversed? A woman wants to do x so her husband demands she pay him for her hobby and does chores in order to gain access to it. Doesn't sound very fair does it?

So let her get pissed. She doesn't control you.

Dude if she stops you from gaming you need to do 1 of 2 things, 1. Get really rich and pay her off. Or 2. Divorce, id go with #2, i despritly need a gf, but no woman is going to get in the way of my gaming

Yes, because gaming>having a relationship with a woman. Somehow I'm not that surprised that you desperately need a girlfriend...

My husband games quite a bit and I have no problems with it. The problem isn't that he's putting gaming in front of a relationship, the problem is he hasn't found anyone who has accepted that he likes to game. My husband is able to game yet he's also a wonderful husband who cleans the house, cooks, and spends time with me along with being an amazing father to our children. One problem is that a lot of women these days thinks the relationship should be all about them and any gaming time is taking away attention from them. (Not all, but a lot women.) There needs to be a good balance of gaming (or whatever other hobby a person has) and spending time with their significant other. And what that balance looks like depends on the couple.

Screw these comments, this is the same as the sex-chart. You either need to man up and talk with your wife. Or goddamn get off the games and do some shit around the house without requiring a supervisor. You're 28. Either we need more background or you need to stfu.
