Congratulations, you married an idiot, i wish you many fat stupid babies. LOL.

No, seriously, I hope you haven't bred with him yet.

How very neutral of you.

Assuming you "hogging the tv/console" means that he at least plays some games or watches a lot of tv. He should at least have a general idea how you feel when a new game comes out.

Unless all he plays is mostly CoD and things now, like my boyfriend does. Though his past has lots of RPGs, he just hasn't really had the "time" to take up some of the newer games. I'm pretty sure it took him 3 years to finish Final Fantasy 9. X_x

But if you aren't hurting his personal time then I don't see why he'd get upset about this. Unless its obviously cutting into more important things you should be doing. Ie. homemaker duties/job/school/personal time with them.

We all have to know our limits obviously.

Just, if you have a significant other that can share such things as this game with each other, then obviously there is a more tolerable line of "too much time" or "addiction."

This is an awesome thread. Heart warming in a nerdish sort of way.

Ugh, for some reason I get the urge to beat people who play CoD with a Starfish.

     Well I'm just curious to know if anyone else's spouse has threatened to disable their computers when DA 2 comes out.  
I thought I was considerate enough when I got a copy of DAO for my Mac so I would stop hogging the console and TV, but now my spouse knows DA 2 is coming out soon and my laptop maybe confiscated if I feed my addiction too much.  By the way, he refuses to play it and has dubbed it "a woman's game" because there is too much dialogue in his opinion.  (The nerve lol )

So, he´s a guy....and he thinks like ...what?....something like Wrestling is the game to play then..? Dump the fool and the console he obviously abuses on a regular basis! *jumps up and down with rage*

On a more serious note, my wife don´t play at all, the last game she played was Sonic the Hedgehog in the 90´s or something. Wish me luck trying to get her to play DA2 !! <_< *cries a bit*

If you figure out a way, let me know. I know my wife would enjoy DA:O but I can't get her to try it.

  if he can point to you ever neglecting your share of the relationship/family/habitat/etc. due to gaming, no sympathy.  if not, send him my way for a slap upside the head from a man who loves "woman's games"

[SnipingNewb]

My ex-wife told me that playing games, or going to my brothers house to play games wasnt manly.
I asked her if she would rather me be out running around bar hopping, and sleeping with a bunch of whoars.
She told me that would be more manly.
Well like i said shes my EX_WIFE.

[BelgusTradis]

@suemaw : I have a similar problem with my wife. She hates games... I can see she gets mad when I play. But I can't help it... I just can't...

You know, all it takes is mashing the quicksave or pause button, getting up out of the chair that's deforming to the shape of your behind, kissing your SO when he/she walks in the front door and asking how their day was etc...a little bit of appreciation that says "you're more important to me than this video game" and 9 times out of 10 they'll be more than happy to let you keep on slaying dragons and saving the world.

Just sayin.

Agreed. I think it is very awkward and rather sad if you neglect your children/spouse for a game. Children need an example, they need their parent's love and attention. Same goes for your spouse who perhaps doesn't like games and will protest if you play too much, but isn't it their right to voice their opinion? Wouldn't it be only natural for your spouse to get irritated when a game gets more attention? I'm not saying gaming is bad, but there are limits, and some of these comments were just a bit too extreme.

Okay, let me guess... he's a COD player. So you can tell him I dubbed Call of Nooby : ''a brain off game for wanabee Mature pre-teenagers''.

My Hubby may not necessarily like DA and know I will be ensconced playing it next week, but his brighter side is that Crysis is released in a couple of weeks and then I won't see him for a while either.....Point your other half in a direction that he will enjoy just as much as you for a few weeks

Agreed, you ARE a killjoy......:innocent:

No, of course you are correct on some level. If you want people to hang around, you would be better off to listen to them and try to change....a bit...

No DA2, no sexytime for him. Use it, Use it!

This^

It is an effective strategy my best friend uses, when her boyfriend interupts her m(for no reason)when she's doing something.

I am actually really surprised how many women use this kind of power play. Whatever happened to reasonable conversation? If I'm pissed at my husband (or him with me), we talk about it. We don't bat each other upside the head with sexual frustration. Some things just shouldn't be used as tools of negotiation.

No need to heed my opinion though, I've only spent the past 17 years married to a man who spends most of his time smiling.....

[PsychoBlonde]

Heh, I ordered 2 copies, one for me, one for my housemate. I expect he'll be too preoccupied to care what I'm doing.

And if he doesn't want to try DA2, there's always his WoW addiction to keep him busy.

[lilliful]

I gave up significant others -- men and women both -- for video games. My last boyfriend would try and be affectionate with me while I was playing ME2. Why would you touch my arm when I'm trying to aim? Why would you ever do that? So, needless to say, I don't have this problem anymore!

Plus, if you refuse him sex when you're mad at him, you miss out on the opportunity for ANGRY SEX.  And that's just not worth it.  I don't care if he used your $2000 silk designer teddy for a cleaning rag.  Still not worth it.  Just make sure you leave a few bruises/scratches/bite marks in REALLY OBVIOUS PLACES while you're at it.

Does she enjoy romance? If so, just tell her it is an interactive romance novel.

I used to give my hubby a hard time about his gaming...then I played Splinter Cell with him on co-op. I loved it, because we did it together. We have played all 3 Halo games together, Army Of Two, etc. So, maybe try something where you can play with your lady. You never know, it might work....or not. Best of luck.

[Patriciachr34]

My husband is already going through his Blu Ray collection trying to decide which series to rewatch when my game comes (I play on the pc). He is really great about my gaming. He even brings me ice cream and pie while I'm playing. No wonder we've been married for 13 years.

My wife and I have played games together... back when we first started talking online, she bought Diablo to play it with me. She also played Diablo 2.

I think she'd play DA with me if it were co-op. Maybe.
