Gaming and Marriage. Has it caused issues?

[Ack]

we talked about doing gaming related things together. So she was on bored

Sometimes a typo can say more than the correctly spelled word.

Jeeze, Freud, it was just a cigar.

[Exhuminator]

Did you let your mother watch you smoke that cigar?

I already had a Wii U in my game room so we bought another one for just a little be of play time.

This does not make sense to me. Why would you buy a second one, instead of just moving the first one?

Well she wanted to buy another one so that not only we could play games on it but also watch netflix and browse the web and so forth. She did not want me to have to lug it around the house so we decide together to buy another one.

Sounds like some serious animosity going on. I'll answer your question though. My wife does not have a monetary value, so yes I would still want to work it out. We would be addressing both her issue, and mine that likely would have contributed in some way. I would be pissed, no doubt, but not so much as to call grounds for divorce.

I think you get progressively more confrontational as people challenge your position, this doesn't jive with the whole "wanting to find a compromise" thing. We aren't trying to attack you personally, just trying to fill in the blanks in a co-authored narrative of which we only have your side.

That's fair but I only found out about it till after we had split. I let her take care of the finances cause she told me that she could. Then when I started to look over everything and found lots of purchase's and was never told to me that is a bold lie and trust issue. I love my wife but that's our hard made money wasted on nothing. I can handle the money but to lie to me and betray my trust is what I am most upset about.

I want to build a future not only with my marriage but also financially so that when I get older we will be able to retire with a 401k, roth and have money put aside as well. I hope you understand where I am coming form and the anger that yes is there. If she told me straight up that she did this things and did not hide it from me. I would not be as upset. Its the trust that I placed in her to do the right things and she did not do it and lied to me on top of that.

To clarify we have spoke about this as well. I just want to give some more perspective as to why i feel the way about our marriage.

I think your marriage has much more serious issues than video games.

Breaking News!!! Ice melts under direct sunlight.

Sorry. Had to.

That is the truth it does but I needed to give some more perspective on the situation so that there would be a understanding. I want to know that I do not have a bad wife. I love her and she is a good person.

[Exhuminator]

I want to know that I do not have a bad wife.

Unless she's banging your friends behind your back, then I doubt she's a bad wife.

There's some maturity and communication issues that need ironing out on both sides of the fence, I think that's all that's going on here. Looking forward to seeing how your first session with the counselor goes. You have to keep us informed on this new saga.

I will let people know how it goes and how this unfolds to point pertaining the original point that I made this thread about. I will be fair in what I write down about both of us but only the points that can be discussed.

I hope for the best from both of us. That is all I can do right now is give it all that I have.
