My wife surprised me with a 2-hour solo gaming session Sunday

She literally just told me "go play, I've got the kids, back by 6" and I nearly cried right there. Didn't expect it, didn't ask for it. Went to a coffee shop with my Steam Deck and felt like a human again for the first time in weeks. Not sure if this is a one-time thing or new arrangement but either way I'm very grateful my wife gets it.

this is love right here. not being asked, just being given the gift of time and autonomy. your wife sounds solid. take her out for dinner soon if you haven't already, she earned it lol

bro moment right there. steam deck at a coffee shop sounds perfect actually. did you play anything or just decompress? either way sounds like you needed it

Two hours is a solid amount too - not so short it feels rushed, not so long she's drowning with the kids. She clearly gets what you needed.

almost teared up reading this because i felt it in my soul. being a parent is great but also getting to remember you're just... yourself sometimes. glad you got that
