[QUOTE="mortalstakes"][QUOTE="mclazyj"]While normally I would say that you should get rid of the 360, in this case I am not. She is trying to change you from something you are not. Games are part of who you are. My wife knew I was a hardcore gamer when we first met. I told her that I am not giving them up for her and she accepts that.
That being said, there is such a thing as moderation. I normally hold off on playing until after everyone is in bed or when my wife is at work. And I play a lot without interruptions on my days off from work. So you should sit down and talk to her about it. Set up a schedule if you must, but present to her that gaming is part of what makes you who you are. If I gave up gaming for a girl, I would be a miserable person, because it is a part of me that I would miss and that longing would make me a miserable person to be around.

you are definitely married :)
my wife and I have the opposite problem - she loves gaming as much as I do and we have to share nicely on the weekends
ive always wondered how that would work out, has there ever been a time when your in multi or something and you blow her head and off and are like "OWNED *****" in the moment then had to sleep on the couch for a week?
no I have to say we actually share pretty well
however long I play I have to let her play for once I finish (once the 360 has had an appropriate break that is)
and luckily we like a lot of the same games so we do coop a lot - I bet we did coop on at least 10 or more games on the regular xbox - I like to play them through myself first though usually
