So, i'm the gamer and my husband is not. He does not understand at all.

After 20 yrs, you would think that he would get the hint that this isn't going to be changing.

Any other girls run into this problem?

Yup yup, pretty much the same way. I never been married of course, but I tend to end up with those who are not into gaming, which is totally fine. They tend to be supportive and look at it as a hobby of mine and will at least dabble in it a bit for my sake, while theirs may be working on cars all day or something (I like doing that too haha). And like them, I would participate in something they are totally into every now and then too. Keeps things balanced. Also helps if the non-gamer understands that gaming is almost like a culture or way of life for some, just like racing cars or writing is that for others. Who knows, there could be a game you both just haven;'t found yet that you can enjoy together

I balance my gaming with life pretty good i think. And i participate in all kinds of things he likes doing...fishing, gardening, playing pool, target practice, and the list goes on.

I guess sometimes I just get a little frustrated with him because he does not want me gaming at all when he is home. I would like to play in the evening every once in a while, when others are more likely to be on.

Maybe i can talk him into going fishing this weekend without me....lol

Thanks everyone for responding, made me feel a little better know that there are those that understand a least a little bit.

i know its frustrating for girls because guys think girls dont belong in gaming and it sucks personaly girls do belong in gaming and if guys cant cope with it they should be ashamed to think that way about it:cool:
