I would like to think my situation isn't so strange. My wife knows this is something I like to do. My wife also knows I like to hang out with her - and we are together plenty. I don't know, maybe we are strange, but the basketball season isn't an issue and never has been.

Legitimate questions, IMO.
My wife is the same way. She also likes the extra dollars we get from it.
However, we have two young children and she likes having me around to help with them.
But here, it's not uncommon for me to have to drive an hour each way to a game, so unless I have a single JV game in town, I'm pretty much away all evening.
Also, once a month I'm gone for a weekend for Guard duty. She really doesn't mind me reffing, but I think if I was doing 10-15 games a week all year long, it would get really old. That's the main reason I haven't picked up another sport, to be honest.
One reason we have plenty of time together, though, is the fact that I'm not working 700 games a year. I'd never see her or the kids, and I'm not really interested in that kind of lifestyle.
