Know that the road goes both ways and being willing to compromise is key. There are times when I won't play GW for over a week and my husband won't come to bed till 5am every night.... Does it bother me...? Hell yes! Do I say stop playing or I am leaving you? lol no..
I either get in game and play more or he starts coming to bed at a more resonable time for a while.... OR we go out and do something together (which rarely happens cause we cannot afford it).
COUCH TIME FTW!
Always ALWAYS set aside some couch time for your loved one. If that's playing a mission together, FINE! If its watching a movie, YAY! If it means just sitting there and talking about the day, weather, or life in general - All the better! The one thing that bothers me off and on is there are times when I can't play with him and I feel very alone. Or rather I don't get time to play at all but there he is living it up with the guildies... We sit, we talk about it and we find a way to deal with the issue and move forward. It's not that hard.
If it weren't for the game I am sure we would find something else to fight about. My husband is VERY happy he married a gamer ^_^
I got my fiancé playing (bought Prophecies for him with christmas and got him the CE when that one came out). It's much fun that I got him to play the game 
We are both gamers and we now game together so we can have some time together because of the distance (I'm in the Netherlands and he in the States).

Yes it maybe expensive but comon look at the bigger picture! when have relationships always been cheap!?! Honestly I don't know how playing games together will help develop a persons relationship in the long run.. I have a g/f and I don't even let her near my computer, I don't want her to be playing games although I'm not banning her rights to play it lol, Its just I love the social interaction we have at the moment, talking lots on several subjects and on different levels. If you played with your partner constantly on a game, the effects of the game slowly start to become apart of your relationship.. and that is a bad sign! A good couple of games on what... mario party or a nice race on mario kart is fine for a couple, but for something like a online RPG..... geeze Im not sure about you people but I don't want to be meeting up with my girlfriend and talking about the best builds on GW and how annoying touch rangers and IWAYers are, and having a good moan about ANET about their updates... oh well. This is a good read btw: http://www.joystiq.com/2005/11/24/gi...t-video-games/ |
as i stated in an earlier post... that i met my husband playing an online game...it works for some and not others... vg's of all types is ONE of our common interests... "in the long run" yes, u will need more than vg's to develop a relationship.. but isnt that a given?
i understand where ya coming from and acknowledge your opinion but let's not make presumptions...

anyway, ppl who saw how i play are keeping saying it too

I started playing originally, but then I couldn't get her off my computer so I had to buy her a computer and a copy of the game.

Couples playing GW and other games together is more common than some realize.
We have a full Alliance(10 Guilds) of those 10, 4 are run by couples, My wife and I started AOA back in betas we have 3 couples just in our guild.
FYI, my wife and I met a few years ago online playing another MMO, we then met in RL, courted for a year, decided to marry and join our kids together to try and make a happy family, all 6 kids also play GW among other games. Our problem is 8 vidiots but only 4 PC's, thankfully I can send some of the kids to play the Gamecube,Xbox or PS2 or thier Gameboys.
*Hoping a family that plays together,stays together.......
*Realizes I am a lucky lucky man to have the woman I have
EDIT: For those concerned we have a fairly active life outside the home & away from computers and consoles as well. LOL

My boyfriend and I both play. Sometimes we play with each other and help each other. We've been in guilds together and now we started our own guild. We just need more gold to build upon. :P We both also use this site. Haha.
People say that if you play a game with a significant other, it causes tension inside and outside of the game. I don't find this true at all. *knock on wood*

I met my boyfriend via an online FPS game, Enemy Territory. He got me hooked on GW, and I play it more often than he does. He's living with me this summer, and we've got the our PC's set up in 2 different rooms so that we can game together. Since I travel for work, I just bought an uber leet laptop to take on the road... so that I can game.
Yeah, we talk about gaming sometimes. We also do "normal" couple stuff, like go to the movies, out to dinner, dancing... but we enjoy the time that we spend gaming together. It's a part of who we are and we accept that about each other.
