OKive been married about 3 years. have a nice house, 1 2 yr old son with another on the way. Im happy with my life. Kinda.
I go to work 5 days a week. tues-thurs 12-8, fri and sat 12-10. A passion of mine before we met was gaming. I used ot play Dungeons and dragons (lol) once a week. And game at home on the cimputer. Being married and havin a family has changed that alot of course and i have no regrets about giving up the once a week gaming at a friends.
Usually everyweek we go somewhere at least once. Either to a park, theater, some sort of amusement place for my son. Were always renting movies 2+ nights a week. On my days off i do somthing with the house, spend some time with my son and wife doing somthing. Then a few times a week like to play this online game of mine. ( if money was better wed be out doing somthing else) But as things stand driving 100+ miles 1 way to work with the gas prices and the type of season it is at work money is tight.

My wife always is complaining. Whether it be about somthing trivial a parent said a few days ago, things her mothers doing or not doing, or just the fact that she is sick of being in the house. she is always complaining.

5 out of 7 days a week i wake up to it. And its getting hard ot deal with. I ask her what she wants to do and i get complains about whats going on. What am i to do. Seek counseling. Pack up gaming?

let me tel lyou sothing about gaming. I dont usually start gaming untill my sons either taking a nap or going off to bed for one. Its cheap. Small monthly cost, and its what i do to unwind. now thre have been weeks where i havent played at all. i go 4 days or more without going online but the second i do she is complaining about it.

And even if we went somewhere a day ago she wants to get outta the house. For example. one day on my day off we went to a nursery rhyme themes park where they had rides and animals or my son. spent all day there came back and watched movies. the next day. i jump online (cause we were not doing anything. and she starts complaining saying we need to get our son outta the house again. Its frustrating.

I work, watch movies , take her places, try change things up when we can afford it. were always going out to eat or take out to eat in.

opinions please. And keep in mind she is a stay home mother ( of her choice)

Nope, you are not supposed to be a robot.

Question...I know you mentioned doing stuff with your wife and son; how much "couple" time do you and your wife get to spend alone together?

So you start gaming about the same time your wife finally gets a break for the day. Your wife is trying desperately (though not effectively) to get the attention you are giving your computer game. I've been in her shoes and I understand now that my nagging often backfired. Please try to not be offended by the complaining and give her credit for trying. It's not necessarily going out of the house or any one activity she desires. She needs you focused on her for a short time each day. It doesn't matter what she does all day. You are her husband and she needs more than just two people living in the same house. It may be innocent now, but you are headed down a dangerous road. My H avoided me with computer games long before the A. Those games are also so addictive. Maybe you need to go back to one night a week playing games with friends and cut out the computer gaming at home. Then set aside one other night each week to get a babysitter and spend time focused on your wife, not just doing something at the same place. You don't have to spend much money or even leave home. Try to find another couple with children about the same age to trade out or go in together on a babysitter. Take time to ask your wife about her day. Even if it seems trivial and boring to you, that is her life and she wants you to care enough to ask. You'll be suprised at how much her attitude will change if you just give her a little more attention. Good luck.
