My wife is a non-gamer, and I found out (too late into the relationship to make a brash decision) that she left her ex of 8 years partially because of his video game addictions (however, his addiction caused him to not help out at all with chores, forget important dates/events and basically not pay any attention to her).

I had explained to her that I played games during portions of my free time, but she shrugged it off until we moved in together. She blew up at me after the first couple times I chose to play a game, and after calming her down, we reasoned things out peacefully and she doesn't have a problem with it, as long as I fulfill my duties as a husband/roommate/father/lover, et cetera.

All the above, however, is only as per my best knowledge of the situation as coming from a male. You never know with some females. Might be bottled up under high pressures as we speak....


Make sure you understand her priorities and whether or not she's at an appropriate maturity level for you. I figure that if you are with a non-gamer, being a gamer you would want to stay away from the clingy or even remotely clingy types, but I'm sure that's a gimme.

Have fun!
