Backlash over long hours

It’s a simple fact that working in the tech industry occasionally has some long hours. Recently, I’ve been reading more and more about some spouse backlash:
My problem? My hobby is my job. I find that even when I’m away from the office, I’m tooling around with some form of computer or electronic gadget.

Amen!

That’s not MY problem. It’s my WIFE’s problem, that my job is my hobby, and vice versa
- Of course in the long run, it’s likely to BECOME my problem

It’s more subtle than that for me. Both my job and my hobbies involve using the computer, but I do very different things at work than I do at home. So, even though I’m on the computer both places, to me it’s two completely different experiences.
