re: Anyone have a significant other who isn't a fan of your video games?

My wife isn't a huge fan. I have a room with my computer in at.. Half mancave (also has my guitars in it) half guest room.. I play 2 times a week or so, and when she goes to happy hour with friends and stuff I play also. Usually wind up with 8-12 hours a week.. Not bad. Sometimes much more if she has work/friend plans that don't involve me. And when I play she then gets to catch up on her trash TV that I despise. Real Housewives, say yes to the dress, etc.. I generally don't desire to play much more than that anyway. Usually on Tuesday (nothing to watch) and Saturday/sunday
Basically, as long as I hold up my end of chores and make sure I don't neglect our relationship, she understands that it's a hobby, and brings me joy and relaxation, and recharges my batteries.
I actually get grumpy if it's been a while since I've gamed.. It's my 'me' time thing.
Just be an adult and realize you have to consider your SOs feelings in the matter as well. For me it's not so bad.. Less gaming time means I appreciate the games I play more and I don't waste time on games that I don't thoroughly enjoy. It also means one $60 game lasts me a really, really long time and the hobby is way cheap
