Your wife may be jealous of the time you spend on the machine. Talk to her about that; make some dates, go out, do something exciting. Makes that shit go away in a hurry

Quoted from vdojaq:This is 100% a communications issue between two people.
In an easy conversation open up with "Honey, is there a problem with my having pinball machines?" and follow up with "Here is why I am asking....(insert your reasons/example)". Then SHUT UP and listen carefully to her answers. She might not come out with direct answers but you should be able to piece the puzzle together.
After you get your answers you have to put the ball in her court by explaining to her that you enjoy sharing pinball with friends and is there any ideas that SHE might have that so you could make that happen.

OK< saw you had the talk....and now you know!
This is great advice. A lot of these responses are assuming they know why she is acting like that. Don’t assume, just ask her. “Hey why did you do that? That seemed kinda mean” don’t accuse, dont put her on the defensive (btw this is hard).
Make a joke about it - “hey baby I was just trying to show them my PINBALLS!” she may open up more. She prob doesn’t know how to bring it up to you. And whatever she says - WHAT. EVER. She says, don’t get mad. Take it, say I gotta walk away for a minute, cool off, think about it, then come up with your response. I’m betting she’s wanting more of your time but doesn’t know how to get it. You should feel good about that man
