first of LIFE always > than EQ

I had a similar problem with my wife about my Hobby time (EQ at the time). She always complained i would spend to much time in everquest (Raiding).

We talked about the issue and figured out how many hours free time I had during the week (not at work) , and how much time i as spending in everquest. IN my situation i was dedicating to much of my free time to my Hobby. We came to a compromise that i feel works great. I get to spend 1 hr or so after work till she get home and I get Saturdays to myself for about 8 hours. I usually get about 1hr to 2hr at night once she goes to bed.

Rest of my free time is now set for our relationship and house work (painting, patching, yard et etc ) IT is very very important to dedicated one night a week to just be all about your Wife/girlfriend and you to be together. IN my case that is Friday night , and Sundays are are for family or other such events.
