Kazekage Gaara Posted March 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Can you not just play after she sleeps or something? be sneaky about it? Which is my plan btw after i get hitched Currently living in a 1 room kitchen rented place. Just bought a 1BHK flat, so may be I can do that once I shift there in May But I rarely get time to play anyways, only on weekends. I sometimes meet up with friends for an hour or two but that only happens once a month. Am mostly busy with my work the rest of the time. Sorry for the rant guys. Really didn't wanna go there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmage Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 True story. She tells me to go out and meet with other people and come up with ideas to earn more money and that I won't be able to do any of that until I COMPLETELY STOP playing the Xbox. She doesn't even understand there is a time and place for everything. She sometimes even gets furious if I start playing the Xbox at 10:30 p.m. I mean c'mon. I know we just took a home loan with an EMI of 17k per month for 20 years and I know we can pull through this but she just doesn't seem to understand. She just keeps saying "this is our fate" "we are doomed to be like this." She's got a lot of negativity in her. I keep assuring her that things will get better. They already are. We are out of our debt except only the home loan to worry about, we now own our own home rather than previously living on rent, we don't have any kids to worry about (yet), and that everything is looking up (touchwood), but she just doesn't understand. Am really tired of all this. Believe it or not, I haven't touched my xbox in 2 months, have a lot of headache, and just don't know what to do. Not able to play videogames is the least of your problems man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Boss Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Wow I feel sorry for you KG. My wife sometimes used to go mental about my gaming but she understood slowly and she is fine with it. She even gifted me 360. Ask her to give you some time alone, you deserve it. Or make massive fun of her TV serials when she is watching them. She will ask you to get the hell out of there, so use that time to play games. But you need to have a 2nd TV for that. This can be done when you move to 1 BHK. Though not sure how she will take the idea of 2nd TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazekage Gaara Posted March 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Not able to play videogames is the least of your problems man. I know that man, seriously I know and am 100% dedicated to that, but things aren't just gonna get better OVERNIGHT now will they? These kinda things take time and you can't expect a person to work, work, work, and WORK all the time. I don't know why she doesn't realize this and am not saying that I wanna play games 5 to 6 hours straight or give up and dump my responsibilities and just sit on the couch all day.

Thanx man and the 2nd TV is not gonna be a problem coz I have a 24" Dell LCD, which I actually had to get for more workspace (spread sheets, etc.,) and it has an HDMI port, and I always play my Xbox on this monitor Gaara Don't worry bro, sh*t will get better. Thanx man. Am hoping for the same I just wish she would understand better. I mean who doesn't have problems in their life. Everybody does and they don't disappear overnight man. You gotta work hard for it and I know that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Boss Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Yeah monitor will do. TV is not necessary. But a 22 inch TV costs 12k around which is HD ready, no need for separate speakers. I have Bravia LCD 22 inch which is connected to 360/PS3 and PC, has awesome sound and great picture quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DishuBOSS Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 She is a school teacher and works from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., earns about 5k a month. Do you guys get time to talk about your day at work (read HER day at work) ?? Being a school teacher is a really tiring job. You get to suck up with a lot of sh*t for very less money. Mom mom was a teacher and so I know. Try talking to her, about her day.. if she has any problems at work (which I am sure she has).. because something is making her very upset and scared. Maybe she is being a little intimidated by the other teachers or the parents of her students. You need to calm her down and make her feel good. It will take some time but it starts with you sacrificing your XBOX (I am sorry man). Take her out somewhere nice and dont discuss any problems with her when you guys are out. Also insist that she doesnt bring any loan or money talks in ur personal time. Follow this for sometime and I believe you will see some change in her. Besides, you MUST find out what her hobbies are (TV watching is not a hobby).. and try to make her get busy. She just needs to blow off some steam.

Thank you SO MUCH for that and yeah I speak with her about her work EVERYDAY. My first question when I get back home is "How was your day" Also, yes, she has to suck up with a lot of sh*t, and I have always been there for her, but you know what the most twisted part about that is, even though I might've heard her sulk and cry and bitch about other teachers and heard about her problems and offered solutions, etc., she has NEVER EVEN ONCE asked me the same question, "How was your day". Don't you think that makes me sad? Believe it or not, she once actually literally said, "She doesn't give a sh*t about my work" and that she thinks "that my work is quite easy since I know English" and that she's the only person here who does "real hard work" around here, managing work and house at the same time. FACT - My monthly earnings are 7 times that of hers. Arranged marriage? Yup!!! I sometimes think I should've stuck with my demand back then that the girl am supposed to marry "should be able to speak proper English - MANDATORY" but I got caved in I really think if a person knows how to speak good English, that that person won't be "narrow minded" and I would be able to bond with that person (at least in my community - Sindhi community). I wish I could show her all the amazing English Hollywood movies that am able to enjoy and how pathetic the Indian TV shows and Bollywood movies really are compared to US and UK shows and movies, but I think that's just my bad luck.
