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

Simple. ask if she'd rather have you playing games or out at the bar every night after work like every man used to do. if she says yes, find a friends house to go play at.

If youre taking up the living room tv every night to play and cutting her out of the main living space then youre a dick.

Mancave.

Be smart and stay single, you don't need a piece of paper to tell you you're happy, and a divorce will cost you at least 7K if kids are involved and you have any desire to get equal time. watch out for common law.

I tell every girl i meet up front.. not first line but before things go anywhere. I game a lot and im gona play with your feet. cant handle it? wasting time. compromise is for things that come up after the relationship starts, not things that are out in the open from the beginning.

ETA:: relevant i guess.

My wife never had a problem with my gaming, as soon as I told her I was leaving she started sneaking trying to make videos of me raging at DotA. all of a sudden it was some huge concern that she had for years and an excuse for her behavior that led to the separation. be careful.

Also relevant. I caught her planning an affair with the leader of my gaming community I had been apart of for 5 years. Don't get your girl into gaming unless you want to become a stalker and play whatever she plays and keep tabs. it's no different than letting her go to the bar on her own, just giving other people the open opportunity, only they get to do it with the anonymity of the internet.

Same, especially spending it all on myself and not dealing with any bullshite.

Never giving up my freedom or money.

You'd be surprised.

Yeah. It's not immediate (and it's different between men and women for sure), but eventually they're your kid, not your adopted kid.

ETA It especially takes a while if you have a biological child already.

WTF does this have to do with the OP?

I wasn't talking to the OP, dipshit.

If I play too much my GF will say something. Which is fine with me, because in those moments I AM playing too much.

If I played an hour or two a night with an occasional marathon she won't say anything.

And you play an MMO pretty much every night.

We need to talk strategy

An hour or two a night? Man you have it made

Married for 9 years with 2 young children. As long as you put wife and kids ahead of gaming it won't be a problem. It also helps if you get your wife into a game. My wife has put in over 200 hours and is at level 202 in Dark Souls 3. She has me beat, I'm at level 122. But that's the only game she plays, I play several others.
