So, do your wives get upset if you spend too much time playing games, and not with them?
Because I want to get married, and I don't want to have to choose.

I told my woman that it was BECAUSE of all the time I spend on my computer that I am able to buy her nice things, and take her out to dinner at fancy restaurants (I am a self-taught sysadmin for a regional AAA headquarters).
Haven't heard a complaint since I told her that.
It also helps to get it out of the way EARLY in the relationship too. Right from the start I told her that I spend a lot of my free time playing games on my PC, and if she can tolerate that, then her and I will get along just fine. I reward her patience with nice dinners, compliments to her beauty, and sex anytime she wants it.
It also helps that she's a tech services administrator for a computer consulting firm too.
