Gamer Significant Others

[DreadPirateMurphy]

OK, so the stereotype of the gamer is the desperate, socially awkward type drooling over booth babes at conventions. Of course, the gamers I know aren't actually like that, and neither am I. So let's see what the browsers on ENWorld are like.

BTW, I'm engaged to a very tolerant non-gamer woman.

Have been living with my non-gaming-but-supportive SO for 7 years.

[ChefOrc]

I am married to a non-gamer that sometimes borders on the game-hater side when I spend to much time preparing my campaign ... it is not always easy, but it is very rewarding on many other aspects.

I don't drool......

Live with my SO who is not a gamer. She is pretty cool about it but it is only a once a week campaign and I am not the DM. If I were it might be a little different but I still think she would be ok with it, just maybe not as ok as she is now.

Met my wife through my gaming club. And we have been gaming together ever since.

It made me so happy when my wife, fiancee at the time, did not like D&D but had no problem with me playing.

I had a gf who was into gaming.
She was the classic queen bee psycho.
Ruined me for every gamer lady out there as I always saw bad aspects of her in them.

My fiancee and I met when I showed up to join an open game he was going to run. I hoped he liked me for me and not because I was only one of two girls out of the 22 or so people that showed up.

Now we have a house together. So we can watch our collection of various gaming paraphernalia devour all the space.

Been married 16 years to a non-gaming wife that has a definite dislike for RPGs mostly due to the dark imagery that is used in gaming books. She tolerates everything, but it is all kept in our laundry room and not on the bookshelves in the foyer. She also doesn't care for the fact that our kids are becoming interested in gaming, but that's a whole other argument.

Dating a non-gamer, but one who is cool about gaming.
