I dunno. Maybe she feels like you are taking all this responsibility free play time while she is in constant parenting mode. That you see home responsibilities as favors to her, rather than something you just do. It's a very common trap to fall into (like when guys say they are "baby sitting" their own children). The jealousy thing is worrying. The going through your things part is really worrying. You two are one and all that but some amount of individual space must be respected. One thing that is important is that you do fun things together, your interactions shouldn't just be all dull everyday chores with all the fun stuff happening while you're separate. That sort of thing breeds alienation.
He's clearly stated that they play video games together, so that's obviously not an issue here.
When we do things together my wife and I like to watch television shows that we have equal interest in (Supernatural, Fringe, Doctor Who, Arrow, etc). We like to go on walks with our baby daughter, or with the entire family when the kids are home from school. We like to take everyone to the aquarium. Sarah and I used to go down to Dave and Busters on half priced Wednesdays (which was how we got our Xbox). With the baby we can't do many of the things we used to do, but we still manage. We do have a lot of chores to keep up around the house. And I understand why she might feel I don't pull my weight. I do attempt to, and I think I do a good job keeping up with what I can. But I work and sleep at odd hours. Plus, again Sarah has very strong parenting urges that make her uneasy when we are both not spending as much time with the kids as possible. So when the kids go to swimming lessons, or are being picked up from their biological father's, etc, she feels we both need to be in attendance. Instead of one person doing it, and the other person focusing on other matters such as cleaning up the house or doing laundry. And honestly if we were able to do that I'd be happy with either job. I can pick up the kids OR I can stay at home and clean. I'm flexible.
Our current schedule mostly gives us time together. Which is fine. I like that. I've never needed a lot of time to play games. And I am getting used to not playing nearly as much as I once did when I was single. It can still be frustrating at times when I really like a game I'm invested in, but I know that it won't be going anywhere. Mostly I just need to know that I can look forward to it as some point in the near future. For us it's every other evening for a few hours before work, but the schedule is tentative so it can change if necessary. I'm hopeful it will work out. I just didn't like the feeling where I didn't know if it would be a several days, to a week before I had a chance to unwind with the Xbox again.

It gets better. Trust me. I used to not have time to play anything and now I have my space. Or she's tired of me. Whichever.
My minor bitch:
I have had a persistent headache now for 2 straight days. No, I don't know why. I've had caffeine, I went to bed early last night and I'm not stressing overmuch on anything. But that's not my bitch. My bitch is that I'm taking my son to go see Ironman 3 today and it sucks that I have this headache as it'll probably color my perception of the movie somewhat. Probably for the negative.
But I promised him we'd go today.

The brofist is for following through.
Take a hot shower, massage your temples, and take some allergy stuff if you have them. It's that time of year and my head has been splitting the past few days too.

I have never - EVER - broken a promise to my kids. If I promise them something I always follow through. There have been times where a promise was stretched because of things out of my control and they understand that. Examples of this would be I promised my daughter she could go to a concert and then the lead singer went into rehab and cancelled. But a promise I made? They can count on it.
Of course, they know this and always try and make me promise for everything, but I seldom do.
Dehydration?
Allergies.
Right? Two weeks ago I was damn near useless because of them.
I have nothing! ;_; I have my receipt of sale but I can't read the guys name on it.
I don't know what to do. All I did was fill out the blue paper, bring it in, they took it and they said "Alright, that'll be done."
Fuck, fuck, fuck.
If you drink soda, limit it to once a week and I assure you that you will see an amazing decline in tooth decay. I used to get cavities all the time and now I hardly ever do anymore. Too bad it took 4 pulled/extracted teeth to learn that lesson.After some seriously rapid tooth decay (two new cavities in the past 6 months since I've had the last ones filled) I'm starting to think I'm going to have to put a serious watch on my sugar consumption levels. Like, permanently
Work internet went down at about 5:30 this morning. Cycled power on all the relevant networking equipment. Nothing. Called first set of support people (they handle everything from the gateway to the PC). It's not them. I mention the "Internet" light on the DSL (yeah, I know...) modem is out. It's probably them. After ~20 minutes on hold with the DSL support, internet comes back the INSTANT the tech picks up. And then goes away the moment I hang up the phone. I call back. May be a cut fiber line somewhere. Hotel down the hill from me is also down.
Minor rant because thanks to a prepaid hotspot and a laptop, I am able to run the property just fine... except for printing receipts. Certain Dell printers don't play well with Linux. We have one of those certain Dell printers.

This issue with my car is moving into all out Rant territory. I can't find my paper work for selling the bloody outside of my hand written receipt...and I handed over the info I had on the guy when I supposedly took this car out of my name. Motor vehicle is telling me it's not their problem and I don't know how to track this fucker down.
I'm just...the car shouldn't even be registered to me. It hadn't been registered for nearly a year before I sold it. I don't know what too do!

But I'm not getting the ticket until I'm being convicted of it. Like, all these letters are ones of conviction because I never seen the actual ticket because the douchenozzle I sold my car to has them all.
What if he gets in an accident? What if my car is used in some crime? Fuck. I hate this lack of control I have right now.

Goddamn ice hockey world championships. Not only is every good TV program getting canceled because people demand to see the matches live on telly... but Finland also keeps losing.
At least I can sleep in peace knowing that my sleep won't be interrupted by drunken revelers on the streets.

I would accuse you of whining, but if Shakira has taught me anything, it's that the hips don't lie.
Or told the agent that his counter offer to them was to "Eat a dick."

You people want me to drive the short bus around for 10 minutes and take an onlize quiz in preparation for driving children 45 minutes out of town in a vehicle that terrifies me?! You're taking advantage of being an independent school. We can't do whatever we want. That's ridiculous, and you're stupid if you think any of us are qualified to do that. I will not risk lives for some enrichment experience, sorry.
