No kids, nothing good on TV, and the wife goes to bed early... :)
*Emma giggles
If one of us goes to bed early, the other usually follows straight after! I get my playing time when the baby is in bed and husband is at work.
My wife used to go to bed early, but in summer she doesn't have much work, so she tends to be up later, and gaming is apparently "antisocial". Go figure. ::)

Well, dh used to complain about my attention being on my computer instead of whatever TV show he wanted me to watch with him. So I found him some video games he liked better than TV. Now he plays his video games while I play mine and peace has been restored.
It took a long time to find just the right video game for him, too. So, don't give up. I am sure there must be a video game for everyone.

My MATY hood has about 13 playable houses, making it impossible to advance generations in any realistic timeframe. It is inconceivable that there will be 10 generations of this hood.
Same here, at about 28 households and 2 sim-days each, it takes me a little over a month to get through a round. (playing during rugrat naptime, or if hubby brings home work at night) I'm beginning to realize that means if I play another year, I'll see maybe one more generation grow up. I'm okay with that though - I'm playing more for the stories than the spawning at this point.

You can also lure your male into wonderful world of gaming with asking for a little help with difficult bits. Triple benefit: he gets to demonstrate his madskillz AND gets exposed to some gaming, and I get my RPG or quest cleaned from some moronic car race mini game. ;D
As for the topic - the same Veronaville since first day years and years ago. It saw a lot of idiocy and cruel experiments from me but survived, for what I am deeply grateful and will stick to it to the end.

Mralways is too much of a 'sharer' for that. He calls me in to watch things on TV, or look at internet things, or see a thing he's seeing fifty times a day.
Easier to just stay in the same room when he's awake.
