So, I couldn't really control my gaming time after this. Years of withdrawal and I splurge, playing maybe 5-8 hours per day. All my free time was consumed with hopping in the world of Skyrim, dungeon crawling, Thieve's Guild, Companions, Winterhold College, dragon slaying, you name it. I become aware of her standing behind me, cross-armed, with her eyes and facial expression stunned in a sign of sighing. She says, "Wow, <my name>, this is who you really are." She didn't really find me attractive all that much afterward. Like finding out your husband secretly stripped on the side for kicks. She just didn't want me afterwards because she just doesn't really get turned on by "gamers." She moved out today. Understandably, we were a (foolishly) young married couple. And she put it together that my story didn't add up, and that I wasn't merely looking for new hobbies. I was a gamer, I still am a gamer, and I probably will be, especially now since I have no reason to stop or hide it. Now, this is a story all about how my life got flipped-turned upside down, and I’d like to take a minute just sit right there, I’ll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel Air. Your mother is so fat that the recursive function computing her mass causes a stack overflow. Sigh... So I knew this day would come. When I met my wife so many years ago I made up the fact that I never played video games, and that I'm much too serious for such childish ways of wasting time, and she bought it. I played a game with her in which I presented myself as someone I was completely not, and she fell in love with the guy she believed was such a different man from all the other boys. When things got more serious, I would actually give up video games for her to keep up with face, all to her unknowing. Four years later, I become a little agitated in my yearnings to play a game of battlefield or set some trolls on fire, I got up the morning Skyrim was released, quietly went out and bought an Xbox 360 along with a copy of Skyrim. I come home and start hooking up all the wires and my wife comes to check on me asking, "What are you doing?", I say, "Oh... uhh... just looking for a new hobby." She says, "Oh, ok. I never would have figured you.... but ok that's actually cool", with a smile she showed almost complete indifference to the whole thing and I essentially believed I was in the clear, "Alright, so slowly just integrate this into the lifestyle, it's not like she'll leave me for such a petty reason at this point!", I thought, "it's not a big deal" little did I know.So, I couldn't really control my gaming time after this.
