Sex & Shenanigans

Anything taken to extremes can be annoying. Well, almost anything that is.
Extremes like a PlayStation MVP who was 1 of about 30 Sony spent well over $1000 sending to E3, plus video cameras, physical and digital swag, press conference tickets…meetings with devs, marketing, VPs and other execs? Yeah, wouldn’t know anything about gaming in the extreme 🥸

I do actually hear a lot of female friends bitch about partners gaming. Mostly ones who have kids.
Sounds like they need to quit bitching and maybe spend some time gaming with their partners and kids! It can be fun for all, especially the kind of games that encourage creativity and problem-solving.

I don’t want to jump to conclusions, but my best guess would be that those women who complain about their partners gaming are really complaining more about their partners shirking responsibilities off on them while they play. No one wants to be left doing all the housework and raising the kids alone while the other adult in the house plays games instead of helping.

I think it is mostly that yeah maybe.

That was how I took it. Not that "he games" as much as "he neglects." All things on that list are fine in moderation. Even online trolling. KenM is sublime at it.

Gaming is one of those hobbies that can very easily become all consuming. I’m not saying that gaming=bad partner, but I do think that in the Venn diagram of bad partners and gamers, there’s a lot of crossover.
Again, one does not equal the other but I do think there’s a trend.

Anything can be come an “addiction” and when it hits that point it becomes bad regardless of what it is.

Having dated a guy who games… it can be a bit frustrating to not get any attention from your partner.

The same is true though for sports bros

Sure. But, again, I think there’s a larger trend at play when it comes to gaming. And there are certain factors that make something more likely to be addicting/consuming than others. Never heard anyone complain that there partner is so consumed with bird watching that they are aren’t showing up as needed. That doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist, but its probably much less common an issue.

Golf widows, fishing widows, car widows, knitting widowers… pick a hobby and all of them can lead to time away from the marriage. All depends on time management and care of marriage.
