Resources spent on BF2
1STRIVE (Next Rank: Staff Sergeant 94.64%)
Time Total 66:03:53 hours (1.5 hours per week)
Enrollment Date 2005-06-27 20:02:00 (311 days or 44 weeks - as of 3May06)
$50 for BF2
$20 for BF2 SF
$10 for BF2 Euro
Total = $80
I wouldn't bring this up directly w/ my wife. (In this exact wording)
However I don't think 1.5 hours per week is too much gaming.
"I have learned in 5 years of marriage that it isn't how much time I spend gaming it is how I spend my time when not gaming." 1STRIVE
I am to the point in my relationship now that if my wife says "Hey Hun you sure have been playing that game a lot lately". It doesn't mean that is what has been going on.
What she is really saying is...I could use some attention from you.
If I take care of my relationship with my wife everyday, she will feel good about herself and our marriage. Then there isn't a need to feel like she is competing for, my time, against the computer.
Just one man's experience…
I changed the pic because this one is old and blurry, so you probally couldn't pick us out in a crowd.
That's me and my wife and son on a train to london.
Oh and if you comment, keep em clean, or I'll hunt you down and Kill you. lol
No seriously I will.

. I used to have my router cut my internet off at 10:30 at night, and not have it restore internet until 7:00 in the morning. Sadly, my router couldn't keep the time straight, and I had to turn it off.
