[QUOTE="Balsamic Dragon, post: 308794, member: 2433"] My husband is a gamer! Shocking, I know, it's so rare to find real male gamers ;) But I think most problems with gamer/non-gamer couples definitely boil down to the time commitment. Most gamers I know are in two or more games per week. That's 8 hours of gaming, plus 2 hours of getting there/set up, plus another hour at least of game prep, and that's assuming that they are not running the game! So if you are spending 9 hours a week on gaming and don't spend nearly that much quality time with your partner, they have every right to complain! It can even be a problem with gaming couples. Dan and I have to make a concious effort to make plans to go out alone, without friends, because so much of our time together involves a group of at least 4-5 other people! Balsamic Dragon [/QUOTE]
