Exactly. Selfishness can be a virtue, especially when dealing with people who don't appreciate the time you spend with them.
I was tempted to offer advice but remembered, I've been married twice and divorced twice. I have no idea what I'm talking about.
However, that's never stopped me before.
If it is truely just about chess, you are doing something right. There's usually lots of more serious stuff to complain about in a relationship. If on the other hand, it's not just about chess...well, got me.
I have noticed I have cars longer than marriages. I suspect I take better care of cars.
My husband changes cars and women at about the same rate...3-4 per year.

I've heard of such male creatures, but I believed they were mythological.

When I was married to my first husband I was what I call a hunters widow. He would go hunting every chance he got and the rest of the time he was out in the garage piddling with old vehicles that he bought.

That bastard owes it to every other married man to to make sure your needs are satisfied- too many wives have too few needs...

Why did your wife say those remarks?
How much time do you devote daily to playing chess and to the family.
When married there has to be a balance somewhere.
oh yeah there has to be a balance for sure. the balance is "wife gets what she wants" and "husband gets what wife wants". see how it all works out in the end?
Wife gets what she wants until husband dumps her because she's inattentive, selfish, and basically a bad wife.
That said, you do have to pick your battles (I would absolutely detest trips to the mall, however...buy me a pretzel, a cinnabon and let me browse the Apple store-Best Buy and Fry's and I'd compromise-but I drew the line when she yelled at me for 3 hours over a $9 parts purchase to fix our desktop. Adios, baby!).
Husbands get dumped more often than wives now days. Inatentive, selfish, and bad spouse goes both ways.

Yeah, God has a strange sense of humor. I can imagine him sitting up in the sky laughing when a couple gets married where one likes sex and the other doesn't.
I wonder who is the freaky one up in the sky- Mr. God or Mrs. God?
Maybe couples ought to have the sense to make sure they have something in common before they get married.
rofl at all the single guys who have no clue
play chess when your chores are done and the kids are in bed, if you are on chess.com when the grass needs mowed and the table needs clearing - she is going to resent it
*did you know there is a food that has been proven to reduce a womans sex drive by 90%? - wedding cake

You don't say?
If it's so obvious, how come this issue comes up so often?

1. If it's so obvious, how come this issue comes up so often?
1. Because women and men were not born to get along, only to co-exist for the purposes of procreation.
The word sex has appeared often in this thread as it relates to one wife hating chess. Fascinating. It's important to note that sex starved women do hunger for romance as well, as they are needy creatures. 
This elusive thing called romance, which quickly evaporates after the man chasing the woman gets caught by the woman, can only be found thereafter in romance novels. A woman actually doesn't want the man that she caught, but this fantasy man found in fiction.
More fundamentally, we don't get along as a species because girls have cooties. This condition is extremely contagious. Fortunately, there are precautions that can be taken. A vaccination has been developed. It is called a cootie shot. They are available at playgrounds nationwide.
Ignore the wife whenever possible and continue to play chess. Guys are jerks, as my wife would say. So, just act natural and all will be well.

In my case I was 16 when I met him and being raised in a fundamentalist Christian home I was taught sex before marriage was a sin. He was my best friend and I suppose we could have stayed friends had we not gotten married and had I not expected a satisfying sex life.

You know Rolandwood, somewhere along the way(and I'm too intoxicated and lazy to go back and find exaxctly where) you said you were on vacation in NC with your wife and she didn't want you to go on chess.com...
Well for God's Sakes Man! you're on vacation with the family or wife in NC! You shouldn't be online playing chess when you're on vacay with the wife or family(unless the wife is asleep and you sneak on for a few blitz games sacrificing your own sleep- that's ok)
Get your Chess Bug under control man!... it's an awesome game/hobby/life-long pursuit so long as you can control it and not the other way around.
Over the years I've learned that if you are serendipitous enough to get hooked on this game it's easy to get too much of this good thing to the point that it's not a positive and healthy part of one's life...
Moderation is the key to enjoying the best things life has to offer!

Ouch. The fundies really need to write a "kick the tires" exception into their whole no premarital sex thing.
Mine too!
