My wife has been in the periphery as I've played destiny for the last 6 years or so. This last Sunday I asked if she wanted to play Destiny with me. I pestered and she relented so I set her up on my PS4 and an old TV next to my PS5. After carefully reading the descriptions, she made a warlock, painstakingly picking every feature. She doesn't play video games much outside some switch games like Mario kart and Lego Harry Potter. She hasn't played an FPS since Goldeneye and then only did slappers only. She powered through the opening mission, mostly moving sideways and looking at walls, but she did it. Once I could join her we made our way through some more new light crap and I set her up with Ticcus for the auto aim. The next night I suggested playing again and she was quicker to agree. She showed improvement and we got through Navota. Then it happened. Last night I was upstairs and feeling pretty tired, just wanting to watch some Netflix. She was hovering and finally asked me if I was planning on going back downstairs. I said I wasn't and she was visibly disappointed. Being the kind husband I enquired and she sheepishly asked, is there something we could in Destiny really quick. Two hours later we had beaten the Glassway strike and made it 20 steps through BL. The births of my children was fine and all, but this is something special.

TL/DR I convinced my non gamer wife to play destiny with me and shes hooked. No more guilt!

Thanks for the awards and encouragement!
