[QUOTE="Nemesis Destiny, post: 5440328, member: 98255"] My wife and I met at the game table. We were both players in a horrible series of campaigns run by a mutual friend. I actually quit gaming entirely for a while until she invited me to a new campaign that she was starting herself. I jumped at the chance and the rest, as they say, is history. We've been on opposite sides in Edition Wars (2e v. 3e), gone through long periods of non-gaming due to life interference, bouts of gaming on forums, digressions to other games, and player recruitment nightmares, but at the end of the day, we still share that campaign world that she started and an interest in roleplaying. I think that she thinks I think about it too much, but she knows better than to try and stop me. :) Of the others in my gaming group, only one other is married, and his partner is supportive, if not enthusiastic of his hobby. She tried gaming with him once, I'm told, but did not get into it. The rest are all single guys, all of whom are single for pretty obvious reasons. Actually, we have a new player coming into the group soon, whom I've been told has a girlfriend, so we'll see how that goes. I've really enjoyed reading all your stories here; thanks for sharing :) Though, I do find the ones containing phrases like "allows me to play" or similar to be quite chilling. Perhaps even more than the ones whose partners openly disapprove. I understand choosing life over game, but when it doesn't have to be that way, why be forced to choose? I know there are reasons, but still... [/QUOTE]
