We both played games before we met each other :>
I don't really think either of us have really influenced what each of us play game wise though... I have tried a few games he has suggested before (like Dragon Warrior Monsters, his favorite game XD), but he still continues to play the same couple of games (sometimes playing another one for a week), and I continue to want to play all the things ><; (pretty much anyway). It's not that he's not open to trying new games, it's just when he likes a game, he REALLY likes it XD

Well that could be a good sign for you, then. At the very least you know he doesn't have any commitment issues! ;D

me and my GF play games, and we often do it together. She is getting good at halo, I tell you whut.

irvgotti452:
Ha! I would always compromise, one night we'll watch her chick flick and in exchange she would watch and participate during my gaming time. In my personal experience that type of compromise can only strengthen your realtionship and really get to know the other person. (Even if you have to sit through every episode of "sex and the city" lol)

You are wrong you should never have to change yourself for someone if she doesnt love you for who you are there is no reason to be with her. I will argue my point untill we are both red in the face.

I disagree here, if she does truly love you and just hates your hobby to a point where you have to choose between her and video games then relationships and marriage is more important.
I will give up things and change myself for another person because I believe in self-denial. I'm not saying you have to, but those who give up certain things they enjoy for a marriage are those who end up preserving marraige and strengthing the bond between them.

If she hates your hobby so much that she can't be with you because of it... kick the bitch to the curb as she has something deeply wrong with herself.

Well, you might look at it that way but I tend to see it as this. I choose my wife (or future wife) over my hobby, I forsake my games for someone who matters to me more.
Sure, I've played video games all my life and it's like they've become a part of me, but, other people come first.

now if your devoting all your free time to your hobby, then yes maybe you should cut back but if its just that she flat out doesnt like your hobby maybe you should take a long hard look at the situation,for example what if she doesnt like your family? does that mean you should never see them again? like others have said loving someone is accepting everything about them not molding them to your idea of the perfect significant other , not saying she is bad or you should kick her to the curb but before you walk down the aisle you might want to have a good long heart to heart otherwise it does have to potential to get very ugly latter in life .

I can see what you're saying, but I think we also have a different view of what "love" means, but that's beside the point.
When it comes to family, I can see that turning into a terrible situation, I know because my parents are like that. My mother really does not like father's mother, to a point where we spend almost zero time with my Dad's side of the family. Coincidentally, my parents fight a lot.

I'm going to take some of y'all's advice then.
