Message: <blockquote data-quote="Stumblewyk" data-source="post: 5436096" data-attributes="member: 67606">My wife plays in every game I play or run.  Not because I expect her to, but because she wants to.  We get to share that time, it gives us each someone to discuss the game with, and it's been really cool to watch her grow as a player and occasional DM.Shortly after we got married I started playing with a group of guys I knew from high school (she was aware of my geekery well before this and supported it), and it didn't take long for her to take an interest in what we were doing, though she did initially have some bizarre misconceptions about what went on at a game session.If I had to venture a guess, I'd assume that as a player she appreciates the work I put in for my game.  As a spouse, she probably also assumes that I spend too much time putting in that work.  As a result, I've learned to budget my time better, for her sake.As for significant others of my players...we've got one younger guy about to get married in October who fiance is waaaay into boardgames, and is going to be joining a short zombie survival game I'll be running next weekend.  There's another guy who's currently separated from his wife and is looking at divorce, from the sounds of things.  I don't think she cares/cared about his gaming, but I really don't know.  Another guy is single, but dating and not ashamed to let his geeky side show.  The other two are married to girls who aren't the least bit interested in gaming, but don't care about their husbands playing.</blockquote>
