Some girls just don't like gaming systems. My 1st wife hated it so it was 4 yrs no gaming at all for me but my 2nd wife loves to play so I get to play as much as I want! Needless to say we have been married 9 wonderful years now!

I see what he is saying, instead of going out and shit to advert trouble he plays his games, if I didt have video games because of my environment I'd be in jail right now or dead
This isnt Tupac fyi Tupac wouldnt just say he was Tupac would he lol

See if you can pique her interest, man. Let her play Geometry Wars for a few minutes, that was how I suckered one of my old roommates in to being a gamer.

Have no fear Dr. TK here.
You need to get her involved with your gaming. Is she against gaming or does she just want more of your time. Does she game at all and I don't mean only on 360. Maybe she likes word search or soduku or maybe farmville or something else. If she dose Some form of gaming then things are better then you might think. Try some Arcade games that she might like or even take her to Gamestop and then tell her it's her turn to chose a game. No matter what it is show interest in it and help her learn the 360 she may just feel left out and want to spend more time with you.
Also show some iterest in somethings non gaming that she likes to do. Maybe she doesn't want to sit at home on a Friday or Saturday night. Be open to CHANGING your habits to SHOW HER that you care about her and good things will happen. Oh and I never met a girl yet that didn't like Flowers, candy and cute little stuffys.

I am so with you on this - !!!
I have a very similar wife issue like you did o00oRICHARDo00o.
My 1st wife bought me a gaming system, then IT caused all the arguments. (yeah right)
Why do you play. Why when it's time to sleep. Why, why, why! Was with her for 5 yrs. long bad years.
The only thing good was the (You Know ) private time! (Make up, morning, lunch & before bed time) not enough to stay.
Remarried, together 11 yrs. (married 10) and a much better lover!
She has the Wii fit & many games for the Wii, a DS, & loves playing family games on the 360.
She goes to bed knowing I am home with her and just in the other room.
If she wants me to come to bed, she will say so or hint or just ask!
I make sure my wife is happy & she makes me happy!
DON'T SETTLE !!!
If your not happy with her, then negotiate with her, find a happy medium, ask her to compromise, meet you half way and explain to her how you feel on this subject!
Find the common ground with her. You both should be happy!

Okay, Tupac9671 your 30.
Adrian Potato Tummy is 20 He is thinking with his 2nd head!
Take it from your elder... Me - Find the middle ground with Her or find a better Her.
Life is short. If you love gaming or cars or whatever it is you enjoy, involve her with it.
I enjoy music! My wife used to just listen to what was on the radio when we met. Never been to a rock concert.
Now she has me looking for CD's she likes and going to concerts.
Last night she bought Family Feud for the Wii (19.99 at best buy - 39.99 everywhere else) just so she could play with our son & I.
So. You love her? Go back to the top and read it again! If you not sure if you love her? Time to move on... Hope this helps

when I read the following paragraph I couldn't help but see how it pertains to you. I think it could explain her hatred of Video Games and whatnot. IDK.
"Girls reach maturity Much earlier than men. They begin to perceive the childish pursuits of males (such as the stupid games we play as pre-teen boys. One of which includes trying to gross girls out and avoid their "cooties") as immature. This natural perception is entrenched in females brains for the rest of their existence. They view males with a perception that their pursuits, things they simply have no understanding of, as childish and immature. (come on, admit it, guys, who reading this wants to play Call of Duty right now? Who'd quite like to fly a model airplane or go paintballing? After they reach maturity women have this perception that any activity that boys partake in or enjoy is immature, pathetic, and last but not least... a waste of time. They don't understand sports, and some even see stress relieving activities such as surfing, hiking, or playing an instrument as a waste of time. Girls, admit it, who thinks that if they saw a group of males riding around on a couple of four-wheelers or playing a pickup game of rugby, you'd think "sad, immature, typical, males " "
got that from some psychologist's help blog.

DING! We have a winner. It's all about finding a balance. If you like her enough to stay with her then you have to find a balance. You can't play the Xbox all the time and she can't demand you never play it.
My wife and I have a good understanding...I get to play but it doesn't take priority over anything. If I'm playing and she needs help with something...the game gets paused. Sometimes I leave it chilling for an hour or more if necessary. No loss for me, and I've got a happy wife.
She's awesome in that she knows that if she sees me in a multiplayer game it might take a few minutes for the game to end before I can help. As long as I'm quick to help when I'm in a single player game she has no beef with waiting for a multiplayer game to end.
That's my 2 cents. But relationships are all about compromise. Neither person should have to give up their major hobbies, just be more flexible with them.
