Message: <blockquote data-quote="ggroy" data-source="post: 5369903" data-attributes="member: 83805">I met my now ex-wife and got married during the years when I was on a long hiatus away from rpg gaming.  Rpg gaming didn't even cross my mind for a long time, until a friend called me one day out of the blue and asked if I was interested in playing a weekend pickup game of 3.5E D&D.I didn't know it at the time, but it turned out my now ex-wife hated gamers of all types.  Before I had met her, she previously dated guys who ended up spending too much time playing muds and video games (back when the internet was just becoming popular), instead of giving her attention.  She thought I was a "breath of fresh air" at the time, when she found out that I didn't play any video games or muds and didn't waste too much time netsurfing online.After getting back into rpg gaming shortly after 3.5E D&D was released, after awhile I was hosting my own weekly or bi-weekly D&D games at my place.  Initially she was fine with it.  But after several years of weekly or bi-weekly gaming sessions, she eventually blew a gasket over it.  Subsequent gaming campaigns were either at somebody else's place or at nearby gaming stores.After awhile we separated, and eventually divorced.  She ended up getting almost everything in the divorce, except my personal library and a few other things.  (She had no use for computer books, nor any rpg gaming type books).My advice:  Don't get married to somebody who has an intrinsic dislike or hatred of your past, present, and possible future hobbies and pastime activities.</blockquote>
