To be fair, coding anything of quality takes so much time/effort/energy - and that all has to come from somewhere. So relationships do tend to suffer to some extent - especially if your other half isn't into computers at all. So all credit to the wives/partners/girlfriends who stick by us in spite of the eternal "Just few more minutes..." distractedly arising from behind the monitor screen.
