This is to all the adventurers out there in RL relationships. How does your spouse or significant other feel about your play time in FFXIV?

I'm married with 2 kids and another on the way. I've had to be very carefull with game play balance and family time. I usually only play the game if there is absolutely nothing else going on, or until after my family goes to bed. I have had problems in the past with FFXI and my relationship. Fortunately it did not get to the point where it was the game or my wife sort of thing, but I admit probably spending too much time in FFXI.

I have appreciated FFXIV's more laid back casual play. I have a few level 50 jobs. I feel like I have accomplished stuff in this game without having to sink too much time into it. Plus if something comes up, it is much easier to just stop what I'm doing in 14 as opposed to 11 where I might have been involved in a party, dynamis or whatever.

I've heard the whole argument "Gaming is my hobby and how I spend my time, what's the difference between that and shopping or whatever hobby my wife has". I've found that with this reasoning, you really are not going to ever win.

So I guess the point of this thread, is Do you have any funny or interesting conversations or stories that have involved FFXIV or any MMO in general between you and your significant other. How do you balance game time and real life family time? If you do sink a significant portion of your day into this game (let's say 4-6 hours a day), how do you justify using or spending that time in game and not with your significant other or spouse?
