time spent around the wife counts dude

This dude is downvoted but definitely just hanging out with your spouse counts. The availability and comfort of physical presence is a thing.

It isn't all the big moments. There's definitely a lot more of just time spent together.

So, the guy cut on gaming and working late at the office to be able to do side project, which has a side effect of being around his spouse. It is better than nothing, but not something to be proud of. A side project is still "gaming", just easier to take breaks.

Of course it counts, but not as _with her_ just around, which is different imho.
