Gaming and your Significant Other

[Malic]

Well, my partner knows what it is, doesn't understand the attraction, but is cool with it. He'll even ask how a session went, and listen attentively while I gush about it. It doesn't make any difference if I explain what things mean (monsters etc) or not. I think it is very sweet that he will pretend to be interested for me, even after all these years.

He's never going to game, but he's pretty darn good anyway

He does raise his eyebrows a bit at the number of books I buy though - fair enough I admit.

My first wife is a gamer. I GM'd for her many times.

My wife is not a gamer but she is supportive of my hobby. She has bought me gaming items as gifts. Heck, she let me spend $180 of our honeymoon money on gaming stuff. I got to go to a gaming store on my honeymoon. She has sat in on a few games. Mostly to see the interaction between the players and toss in the occasional humorous comment.

Now if I only had a game at the moment...

My wife games with me, but she's not as obsessed as I am. (I'm the most into it of anyone I know, though I don't hold a candle to some of the people on ENworld...)

My ex-wife is still pretty much my SO. Well, moreso than anyone else. She's ok with me gaming. Makes time to watch the daughter so I can do it (well, for the one session I've gone to in 2-3 years). She used to be in my gaming group, but she's never really have the fever for it. Kind of take-it-or-leave-it.
