Ahh, too bad that if Jeromy has an LJ, I don't know about it to come tell him to talk to you about this. Not because of me but because he's got all friends that are married/in more serious relationships and so they try to do Warcraft raids like once/week on a Friday night or Saturday night and then do other Warcraft things more on their own as time allows. I can only imagine that if you're used to gaming one way and then you live with someone else (and not just as roommates but in the serious relationship way) that it's hard to adjust and find a good balance as far as who does what gaming and when. Ug, my comment is of no use since you can't really game on weekends. blargh. I think another friend makes a date night with his wife every week where it's just the two of them and if there are any games, it's two-player Wii games or whatever and then for the rest of the week they're relatively on their own as far as how they entertain themselves but I'd also venture to say that I'd probably not be in favor of that system if it were my relationship. A lil' more time, please...
I admit it was weird not plowing all my precious time into games once I moved in with Miss, but I feel better for it. The places we go and the sights we experience are much more life enriching than a game. I can still make time here and there, but nowadays it's at the expense of creating new artwork for shows. It felt like my world was put in the spin cycle for awhile, but it didn't take overly long for me to realize that Miss just wants to do everything with me, and the question of where to put our energies has gotten easier with time (although there are definitely still those weekend nights where we're too lazy to think of anything to do :)
Not being a Warcraft addict is great for a relationship (unless both partners play it!) But Miss is the kind of person that takes serious umbrage when I join an online game of Halo 3 without her when she's home :) So those 'social' raid/get-togethers can be quite a strain on spending time with the lady because 'all the guys are doing it' and it sucks in the guy --and it's not the kind of event you can start up whenever so that puts on even more strain! I'm glad I don't play warcraft :)
