    Relationships and pinball does tend to NOT be a positive match most of the time, often in arguments/fights with the wife/girlfriend the topic "pinball" is often mentioned (out of nowhere). Why is this phenomenon? Give me your story, or your opinion on this subject.

    Quoted from NickBuffaloPinball:

    Pinball takes away both time and money that could be spent on significant other or children. So, this could trigger some pyshcological/biological maternal instinct that says time and resources should be spent on her or offspring.

    My guess is this is only a major issue is if there are extremes going on, i.e., extreme spending on hobby at the cost of time spent on her or children. Or, if she is extremely needy and mentally unhealthy. Or if there are underlying relationship problems, this could be an easy target.

    This is brought you by Gusphan, amateur and unqualified psychologist.

    Gusphan you should be a psychologist!

    Quoted from gweempose:

    Over time, however, I think she has begun to see it as a good thing. We are at the age where many people we know are going through a midlife crisis, having affairs, etc ... In comparison, pinball is utterly harmless. The whole key is to keep everything in balance. It's okay to have a hobby that you are really in to, but you have to make sure that you don't neglect your family because of it. I sometimes have to remind myself of this.

    That is a clever move.
