My wife is fine with my computer gaming. Not thrilled, but not upset, either.
As for OOTPB, I might as well be like the Jehovah's Witness who's got the Vatican as his door-knocking mission. I really, really enjoy OOTPB, but no matter how much I preach the gospel, niether my wife, nor my family, nor my friends, nor my (former) co-workers are even one iota interested in this game. Even with the '05 version being given away for free, nobody I know wants to play it.
My wife comes from a baseball family. Her mom and her aunt played in an all-star women's baseball league, in one of those itinerant teams that went from town to town challenging (and defeating) the local talent. While my wife nor I are terribly enamoured with the financial excesses of Bud Selig and his stormtoopers, nor of the strike-happy MLBPA, baseball is a game we both appreciate and enjoy. So, it's wierd that she doesn't like OOTPB. Or maybe she's still mad at me from when she found out that my fifty-ish eponymous manager in the '05 version was marrying a 19-year-old named "Shirley".
I have to resort to the Internet to find like-minded OOTPB users. If anything bothers my wife, then, it's not the games I play, but my trolling of game forums to find people who like the same games I do.
