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

That's messed up, stand up to yourself, if my girlfriend did that she'd no longer be my girlfriend. I play games at least 1-3 hours. Anyone who says any somethng about it can go **** themselves.

Good God, grow a pair and stop being a pussy. What kind of man lets his wife or girlfriend keep him on a leash like a child? Revolting.

Maybe OP has a serious gaming addiction problem? I've heard of people ruining their marriages and nearly losing their jobs because they can't stop playing.

Agreed, the fact he enjoys gaming isn't an issue, but if it's cutting into responsibilities or he doesn't spend time with her consistently because he's playing of video game that is a problem. If he's only playing an hour or 2 here and there it's not a big deal, but a lot of guys will spend hours playing video games and are not aware how much time they've spent playing and/or don't see it as a big deal.

sorry to hear about your tiny balls, bro.

Dude that sucks. A more sensible option would be to allocate gaming time than to buy it or give gifts, try suggesting this :)

She is your wife, not your mother. You need to nip that kind of behavior now before it gets worse.
