Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : Ok, so a little background. My wife and I have been married for just over 7 years. From the day we met, she has known that I enjoy playing video games. I am definitely a casual gamer, but when a game comes out that I enjoy, I usually play it multiple hours a night until I either beat it or get bored of it. We have 3 kids, 2 together, 1 from a previous relationship I had, and I rarely start playing before the kids are in bed. Most of the time this cycle starts, she gets mad at me for staying up late playing the game, and for playing a game instead of going to sleep with her or doing something with her. For our entire relationship, I have tried getting her to just try playing a game with me, just to see if she would enjoy it. If I had to guess I would say she has actually done this less than 10 times, and most times it is only for 30 minutes or so. Everything we do together is based upon what she wants to do. If we watch a movie or show, she approves it. That's not to say I don't always want to watch it as well, but if it is something that she wants to watch and I don't care for, I usually compromise and watch it anyways, never the other way around. And it goes like that for everything we do. And that really doesn't bother me, honestly, video games are the only thing we don't really have in common.  


She doesn't understand why it is so important to me and says it isn't fair of me to get upset about it if she really just doesn't like it. I wouldn't say I get upset, just disappointed really. There is a few games that I know she would enjoy, but she just won't put a concerted effort. I tell her a relationship should be built on compromises and sometimes doing things that the other enjoys, even if we don't enjoy it 100%.

TL;DR - I love playing video games and want my wife to play with me, she refuses to. AITA for getting upset that she won't?
