My girlfriend isnt into games at allllllllll, and she's the girl i plan to marry! That's just the one aspect of life I keep for myself when I want to relax all on my own. Having someone like her now really makes me realize how shitty being single was lol. Though she doesnt sound nearly as demanding as the situation that you were in, not being able to do this having to do that blah blah. Understanding is so nice to have.

I also came into this blog expecting doodles

Honestly I think it's really important to have different hobbies from your boyfriend/girlfriend. Sure it's nice to have a few similar interests or things you can do together, but sometimes you need some time to do your own thing.

I play a lot of games, and I've dated some gamer guys in the past. It's nice to be able to sit down and play a game together, but everyone needs some personal time. In a healthy relationship, (imho), both parties will have their own hobbies that they can go off and do with friends. Again, I do play a lot of games, but if that's *all* a guy I was dating wanted to do, I'd get crazy bored realllly fast. Everything in moderation.


in case anyone hasnt picked up on it, haemo often says smart stuff a lot

i think it's pretty funny that the op has what is almost always a guy's problem in a relationship hahaha

I've always thought an interesting dilemma is what do you do when you're a gamer and get married to someone who doesnt care for games but tolerates your hobby like any good spouse. It's one thing to know your SO plays games... it's another to sit in the other room and hear them curse at the tv like a maniac, sitting there with that DONT FUCKING TALK TO ME FACE whilst smashing away at little buttons

I am an unapproachable retard when I play games and I'm sure I can't possibly be alone there! I can't imagine this will ever change.

I'm just 100% unapproachable. And I don't get why people have the sudden urge to talk to you, when you have headphones on, and have to ask 'are you listening'?

It's like...dude, headphones.

I ended up breaking up with him anyway, for various reasons (tl;dr it was me). I went on a gaming binge after that. I also didn't have to answer text messages right away, make anyone feel bad if I had been out and, oh no, there are boys there.


If you by the tldr mean "its not you, its me" kind of thing, then the next 2-3 sentences kind of greatly go against that, I am pretty sure the fastest and most efficient way to get a girl to not like you anymore\turn her off of you, apart from like killing her family or cheating on her, is to act needy in such a fashion. So if anyone is to blame it sounds like it is him =p

Although the biggest problem was probably that it was a long distance relationship (assuming i understood this correctly? ) since they are just no good overall. For anyone in a long distance relationship, I am sure there is atleast 1XXX people within your state you could be "equally compatible" with given the right circumstances. So unless it is a short term thing with a definite end in sight, then it is not worth it imo although i guess that is just my 2 cents. n_n

Anyway a bit more on topic, you shouldnt have to hide playing starcraft 2 from your boyfriend(or girlfriend.) Atleast for me, if I had to hide me doing a hobby that I love because of my girlfriend then I dont think thats a relationship I personally would want to be in =p

You understood perfectly. Several parties though it was -actually- going to work out, but you already know the ending. This was my 2nd LDR and last. No hat trick for me. Lesson learned, etc.

It wasn't that I was always hiding it (in that instance I did, just so I could keep playing), but with more reflection time it looks like I was just having more fun playing/talking SC2 than socializing with the SO. Eep.

On the topic of having similar and seperate interests, the way I've always looked at it was, keep your passions seperate, and your interests congruent. The reason I've found and stuck to this, is people are very, well, passionate about their passions, and as such are set in their ways of doing things. If you take two people with the same passion, they're going to approach it in at least somewhat different ways, and it's going to cause the most heated arguements and disagreements possible. However, you also can't find someone apathetic to your passion, as this causes just as much dispute. Interests, however, are what give you things to do together besides just sex and talking. I know plenty of relationships that are just that, where both people don't really have a passion, and the relationship is doomed to fail.

I think you need to draw something so we can judge.

Tex has shown she has artistic ability. Raeleigh has shown, repeatedly, that she can draw very well.

We're waiting on you. ^_^

A LoL comic I drew. That's about the extent of my artistic skills when it comes to drawing.

Used to be good at miniature painting back when I played warhammer a lot, but I haven't really painted anything in years.

I love the little cartoons that Tex and Raeleigh draw though.

I can see the frustration but I would hope you tried to return interest in things he had. If he didn't even really have anything like a hobby though, he was probably a dull shit anyway.


We had a lot in common, actually. I was just using the video games as an example. Everyone can relate to it.

Also: I don't think girls like being compared to other people's exes. I can be a stubborn bitch but I'd like to think I'm not a "my way or the highway" stubborn bitch. We both did things/tried things the other liked. I even got him cheering for the Red Wings a few times. Muwaha.



To be honest I don't really care if "girls" don't like it, because it isn't just girls, no one likes being compared to someone in any way that may be (or rather, seem) negative, although I think you missed what I was saying a little.

The phrase choice was poor on my part, and I'm sorry. I actually meant to compare your relationship to mine, with my perspective also of the whole "I love Starcraft, I want you to try to love it too, but you don't seem to be." I think really EVERYONE wants to spend time getting their significant other to like they things they do. But from your post I wasn't sure if you tried to take interest in his things. And I don't mean having common interests, I mean trying to take interest in things he liked as a hobby. As far as I know he's my girlfriend and you're me in this situation, which was the point of my original statement...But I just hope that you were trying to be active in liking things he was into, much like you were getting him to like things you were into. That can be said for both of you. Frankly he sounds pretty lame so I doubt he even tried or wanted to...

Yeah I could've worded it better.

PS: Holy shit you can doodle!

Yeeep. I like to doodle in my free time.

For now! I use to play with just the laptop/mouse. Now I got a bigger keyboard. I'm currently saving up to build up my own desktop strictly for gaming (read: I only have the case :X)

I want to try and play on the giant TV at home. That'd be sick.

To me, I'd hate for a girl to be 100% similar to me in every interest. 1 or 2 interests is good enough to start reasonable conversations and make each other feel that "we have something to talk about and not stare at each other awkwardly". But I think it's best to have different interests so at least we can learn something new from each other even if the relationship didn't work out.

btw, awesome drawing!
