One of the better responses I've read from the thread.
I am assuming the fetch quests are those supermarket/vegetable market visits?
Yeah, everyday is a grind. Going to parties or your in laws is the boss level, have to prepare well before hand.

hmm dude awesome topic. but i have found my middle path and its working beautifully. 1) I told my wife am like how i am becoz i have few indulgences of life. Biggest indulgence is a geek and it is a positive indulgence as am not going out blowing up money on friends or parties or clubs etc. I told her I have this indulgence and i respect her indulgence which was Bags and shopping. So over time she never questions mine and i dont question hers. Both get breathing space plus now it has come to a level that we help in constructive feedback over each othesr preferences. Like I can give a practical view when she is buying a bag and she would give me a womans point of view if am buying a gadget. (which isnt a bad view) 2) I suppose reach home at 8pm. i dont sit at PC till 10:30 i make sure first 2-3 hours are towards doing house work or helping her or spending time with her. Post 11 is my time. and games, reading reviews, watching anime etc no sweat. plus i make sure i sleep for 6 hrs a day so managed to find that time frame between my games n rest of indulgences vs rest and time spent with "family" 3) Most important thing i did was my TV and Comp are like 2 feet away. So I can actually be sitting with close by and be busy with some game and she can watch tv. More over like if am playing COD MW3 there is a 1min intermission between games and contribute that 1min towards TV discussion. Thus again its more like time spent together. If its Skyrim u pause game n talk about things n go back to gaming. 4) biggest problem i felt was sound, i mean couldnt play with loud guns or anime action anymore. So got myself a good headset. And told her Friday n Saturday nights are just mine. So if we go for moview or some dinners or anything once we reach home till 5 in the morning i can watch back to back some anime, or TV series or anything (on headphones) and its my own time. Plus its weekend so sleep by 5 and wake up noon. again till evening or 11pm spend time with her or help her at work n get back to games at night
. So you need to make sure you strike a balance. I am a firm believer if you dont do things which make you truly happy you will loose your own self. You might even get irritable at home or work. This whole funda of no now you are grown up and games are for youngsters, n cartoons is for kids i dont care. If this makes me happy i am gonna pursue it. Just need to strike that balance.
Some really great points there! I made my wife read this entire thing just so that she knows that her husband is not the only nut in this world who sleeps with his wife on one side and mac on the other
