Gaming ruins/saves a relationship?

Do you have a boyfriend or girlfriend that plays games? You would think that you're lucky that he or she likes to do what you like to do, but did you know that relationships where both partners play games can still fail? You might not think so since you have so much in common but sometimes too much in common can be a bad thing and if one of you (maybe even both) are spending a lot of time on playing games that usually means less time with eachother. Ok you can play games together but that's not the same as spending some time together outside the house or just watching a movie together on the couch. But most importantly do you actually talk with eachother instead of giving instructions how to beat a boss in a game or what the plan of attack will be in a raid?


Gaming ruins relationships?


Sometimes it does, mostly because one of the two or maybe both are addicted to playing games and will spend the majority of the day on playing games. You might think that's fine when both of them are into playing games but it's also important that you spend time together doing other things. Maybe some people don't see the worth in that but it's actually important that you talk with eachother, spend time together doing other things than just playing games. This is how a relationship can grow, but if you spend every day sitting behind your tv or computer screen playing games then things will be harder for you to keep the relationship strong. Nothing is impossible though and the problems for one couple don't have to be the problems for another couple. My advice is just to take a break every now and then and do something else together. I'm not talking about forcing yourself to do things you don't like but it's nice if you do something the other would like to do or just go out and have fun.


Gaming saves relationships?


Sometimes one of the two in a relationship is into gaming and the other isn't, but the person that isn't into gaming never really played games and usually just thinks that it's something childish and a waste of time. But a lot of these people will change their mind once they find a certain game that they actually do like. Not every game is a first person shooter, there are so many games out there and some of them aren't even that popular but your boyfriend or girlfriend might actually like it. I'm not saying that you should force them to play games, that's actually a good way to ruin a relationship, but you could introduce them to certain games that they might like. When he or she has a better understanding why you enjoy playing games then that might just be what saves the relationship. It also helps if he or she also enjoys playing some games, that way they know from experience how much fun it can be to play games.


Playing games with your boyfriend or girlfriend is a good idea?


It depends, because not everyone likes playing games and even those that do like it might not want to spend a lot of time on that. So if you planned an evening playing games with your boyfriend or girlfriend then he or she might not be happy with that. Instead you could ask what he or she would like to do. A relationship is often a give and take type of understanding, sometimes you do what he or she wants to do and sometimes he or she does what you want to do. I think that's fair and how you keep a relationship strong. If you do decide to play games with your boyfriend or girlfriend then you might want to keep in mind that he or she might not want to do that for too long. I had a girlfriend whose head started to hurt if we played first person shooters for too long, she would often say nothing because she knew that I had a great time but in the meantime she was dealing with dizziness and a headache. So keep things fun and don't spend the entire evening on playing games, even if your boyfriend or girlfriend doesn't say anything. Games are fun and it's great that you can play games with your boyfriend or girlfriend, but that doesn't mean you should spend the majority of your time together on playing games!
