Man when i benched my live in girlfriend at the time because we finally got a decent healer during hyjal. I was sick of playing my character and basically hers during raids, but god was the real life butt hurt palpable.

If I hung out with my wife all the time I actually don't know what we'd talk about.
"did you just see that monster in the game? " Yeah I'm right here.
Absence makes the heart fonder or some stupid shit.

I write a lot of responses in this thread and then I always cancel them.

Post more of them. I, for one, would like to see them. You know I'm incredibly sorry for your loss, but I'd like to hear your perspective.

Ive tried to get the girlfriend into my hobbies, she just has no interest. Her hobbies seem like they change every 2 months, I stopped trying to keep up. We both like to travel and shes really into photography (the one hobby shes kept interest in) so when I travel for tournaments she comes with me. Ill do my tournament thing while she goes and takes pictures of park benches or whatever. We always make sure to spend an extra day where ever we are just hanging out and exploring. It's worked so far for us, going on 7 years.

Funny you say this. I was the SK main puller and side tank while leading mybguild in EQ. My now wife ran the healers and managed our phone contacts (pre VoIP), but we didnt so much as flirt for the first five years in the guild until a mutual friend basically shoved us together. These days,miniature gaming is our thing and we fly around getting drunk at tourneys all over the US.
I guess I can get the trophy wife mother of my kids thing, but its not how I was raised and we are tighter than any married couple I know. We were pretty lucky to get together, no doubt. But I think I'd rather be single than married to someone I only spent time with to screw or do family shit. I see a lot of couples like that since moving to California, though, and they rarely last.

The BF and I both love gaming, but there's definitely shit I'd rather just play with my usual group of friends. Shit like D3 I'm all about efficiency and speed while he approaches it super casually so it usually just ends up with me carrying him through rifts when we play together and I'd rather just be pushing grifts with my other friends. On the other hand I probably get frustrating when we go play MtG with his friends since I'm new and slow as fuck. We love playing shit like Rocket League or Civ or Town of Salem together, though. Overall he tends to need more together time than I do, so that's come up on occasion and I try to get in more of that time even if I feel like doing something else solo. He's also understanding in that I just need alone time every now and then. We're moving in together finally this weekend, so will be interesting to see how that changes things.

Cross-stitching is right up there with scrapbooking. If a woman ever tells you that her hobby is scrapbooking, run.
Phazael you have always been a narrow minded mongoloid but now you went and done it good.
You have babbled on for an entire day that the rest of us have shit relationships because we don't have a specific hobby in common. A hobby that it looks like is your only hobby. You are completely one dimensional with your gaming only personality and so is your wife. You can only do things with her that are gaming, or eating. That. Is. It.
Take the rest of us. Most of us (probably all) game a decent amount. We still carry on meaningful relationships because we have more than one thing in common with our wives. We have depth. We don't need to be smothered by her 24/7 with only approved hobbies that both of us love.
Here are just a few things my wife and I do for hobbies that overlap and dovetail together but don't require us both to be completely invested in.
HerMe
She likes to run.I will walk with her sometimes.
She watches medical dramas.I sit in the room doing my thing while she watches.
She likes to deep clean the car.I fly my drone around outside while she does it.
She likes to travel and see a thousand things in a day.I go with and then pick a nice place to eat because that's what I care about more.
She sits in the room and brings colorful commentary.I like sci-fi and fantasy TV/Movies.
She organizes things in labelled boxes.I hand her stuff while making fun of her.
She tolerates the mess in the kitchen and cleans up after me.I make elaborate, kitchen destroying meals.
She likes trivia night at the pub.I like trivia night at the pub.
She thinks Ryan Reynolds is dreamy.I think Ryan Reynolds is dreamy.
Those are just off the top of my head while I am sitting here at work. It sounds very boring. To some people that isn't enough. To a lot of us though that's true love. Just being comfortable with someone and not needing a ton of work. We ARE best friends and were from high school. We can 100% hate something the other person is interested in and it won't affect our relationship one bit.
If Ryan Reynolds dies we will find a way to move on. If she wants to do a marathon I will survive it.
However, if you or your wife get bored of gaming your relationship is over and dead because that is all you two have, and eating.
Don't be so narrow sighted and one dimensional. The rest of the world isn't.
Well it was BBCode and there is a website you just type into but yeah he needs to step up his game when he responds.
What do I know though? My wife is just the "trophy wife mother of my kids" and nothing else so what would I know?
Catch me in the grown up area being real and I am bros with pretty much everyone!
