Actually it d- no, never mind, I won't get sucked into that.silentsentinel said:
Personally I agree with the people on here who say there's more to this than just the video game that made her break up with him. Sure it may have been the tipping point, but it couldn't have been the entire reason, or she'd have to be really shallow and seeing as she just broke up with millions of pounds to make a point it doesn't look like she's that shallow.
Furthermore I think gamers and non-gamers can make a relationship work just fine. My brother's been in a relationship for a few years now in which he has been gaming actively without too much complaining from the girl. When you read "too much" I mean they compromise really well. When she comes over and we're gaming she does crack a couple jokes about us "playing a stupid game again," but she did pick up a controller on several occasions and joined him to try it out. Also he spends lots of time with her in a non-gaming way and can get back to his gaming when she's off.
I do see that the situation is very different when you're actually living together. It means you'd have to compromise a bit more and set some ground rules, but it's not like it can't be done. Gaming's just a hobby that takes up quite an amount of time, but I don't see how it's that different from any other pastime. If my girlfriend would be really into reading a lot of books I wouldn't be complaining to her about it, and I'm pretty sure she would't complain to me about it if it were the other way around. So why are games that much different? It's just a way of passing the time.
