I seem to have a problem with moderating myself when it comes to playtime on Video Games, How do you keep yourself from just endlessly playing games?

My wife keeps me in check. Not in that she's telling me when I can play, but that, I'm thinking about her before and while I play, and whether or not I'm being considerate.

@Rhynoplaz It's one of the reasons I hope to not spend 10+ hours a day on games as I do enjoy my time with my partner but it has turned into you watch things on the TV well I play some games that I've already been playing all day.

Nothing wrong with that, but I know what you mean. It's easy to get stuck in a habit and then you haven't seen each other in three years.

Don't forget to snuggle up and watch the things on TV with her once in a while. Keep those connections fresh.
