Ymmv of course...).
i took off 2 weeks from poker and my wife loved it. now i just play when shes not here or if she is sleeping. she goes to bed ~10:30 so that gives me a good amount of time to play.

also, dont get a laptop, just re-arrange your tv room to include your desktop setting with 2 monitors etc. playing on a laptop 4 tabling for 2 hrs is the same as 1 hr with 8 tabling desktop. also get her a tivo so she can watch her fav shows. that helped me a lot. no down time with commercials for her to be bored and realize you arent paying attention to her.
