Hi there,
I've been having something on my mind for quite some time now and as the reason for it is coming closer I figured I'd ask someone who might relate to my situation. Unfortunately, I don't know anyone who'd fit the description... I'm sort of alone with my passion for gaming. Neither my friends nor family are into gaming.
Except, then I thought I could ask you.

The situation is this:
I'm in the lucky position to becoming a dad in about two months and I'm really hyped about it. Now, the thing is that I've been playing video games my entire life (I started at around 10 and I'm 32 now, so yeah, that's basically my entire life).
Since being together with my wife (about 9 years) I've been gaming a lot less because she frankly doesn't have a clue why I so enjoy it. And I don't have a problem with that at all. If I had to choose between my wife and my computer I'd always pick my wife without any thought (as it should be).
And I know with a kid there's gonna be less opportunities to spend time alone with my wife and even less time for me to play video games or working on my project.

My question now is: Those of you who have a wife/husband and kids how do/did you handle this? It's not like I'm looking for a way to escape my family because I've always wanted to start one of my own. It's more like I'm sort of afraid of loosing a part of me that has always been there for as long as I can remember. Plus, I'm a little nervous about being a parent.
You might think "Hey, dude. Why not talk to your wife about this?" and you're right. I've already done that and she agrees with me that there'll be less time for anything besides the kid for quite a while but we should still try to be a couple and an individual person. Maybe it's all just the excitement of becoming a dad and everything will be easier than I think it'll be.
Still, I'd be grateful for any kind of advice or sharing of experience.

So, yeah, that's my question. Maybe not the easiest one to answer but asking couldn't hurt, is what I figured.

P.S. I hope it's okay to post a question such as this. If not, just delete or lock the topic.
