I haven't seen a discussion about this yet, so I figured this might be fun to talk about, so opinions from the ladies AND men
So, my boyfriend and I have been together for 10 months. We have lived together for 8 months and of course there are many compromises when you plan to be in a relationship for the long haul. He is very much into video games and I knew this before we began dating. I, personally, am not much of a gamer, and I've had negative experiences in the past with men playing video games and neglecting me or ignoring me, but this time it is a little bit different. I don't mind his playing because he always goes the extra little step like talking to me while he plays, and because my computer which I spend most of my free time on, and his computer which he plays his games on, are next to each other, or he will reach over between levels and rub my shoulders or give me a little kiss.
I think if more guys did this their girls wouldn't complain so much about their gaming! But, I want opinions from the girls, and from the guys!
GIRLS: Do you have a problem with your partner playing video games, if so why, and if not what does he do to go that extra mile to make you feel like you don't come second to his gaming?
GUYS: Does your partner have a problem with your gaming, and if so tell me about it and if she does, maybe this discussion will help you find a way to keep both the gaming action happening and your girl happy
