Everyone needs hobbies and down time and nothing is inherently wrong with reading, soccer games and video games. Some of my fondest memories as a kid are watching my dad play video games and then later playing along with him. | |

Everyone needs alone time and the OP and his wife need to sit down and discuss what she thinks parenting should look like and what he thinks parenting should look like and then compromise and combine the two to find what they as a couple want parenting to look like. | |

Whether it is about his current investment in his family or the reasons why his wife reacts that way. Maybe she actually dislikes his hobbies and maybe she finds him spending most of his free time playing or reading without showing much concern regarding what happens to his wife and his daughter. I speculated as much as I could along the few lines he gave in order to provoke a reaction. | |
