It’s a hobby for many, including my husband. We fought over it a few times, then he explained to me that it’s how he chooses to de-stress from work, although admittedly it sometimes adds a different kind of stress as he gets very close to a top score but doesn’t make it (like a top 100 player ranking). He gets a sense of accomplishment when he does well, and as silly as it might sound to you or me, I have accepted his hobby and am glad it’s not something more annoying like boozing and gambling.
If you can’t see yourself accepting it, then it’s good you know early and can move on. It’s hard to change a man 🤷🏻‍♀️

As long as it’s not an addiction and it works for you two, great!

Know a 40 year-old guy who still plays video games all a daily basis. He is also really into D&D (like the actual board game) and buys those figures or pieces for that. But he is single. So I guess he has time.

Lol how old is he

27

Okay

How childish! You don’t have time to wait doe him to grow up, because he might never will

I don't think there is anything wrong with men loving video games. My then bf now husband loves video games and he just turned 30. I didn't quite get it when we were dating but now I understand how much of a stress reliever it is for him after a hard work week. There are some days when he just goes to the living room and plays for hours and I binge Netflix. In fact, recently I wanted to try out some of the games he loves and I ended up finishing 40 hours of Far Cry 4 over a week 😂 It turns out that I enjoy playing video games as much as my husband but I just didn't know.

Ladies, love to hear your thoughts. I’m in my late 20’s with a handful of close gfs (most of them live far) but I have a history of losing girlfriends.

It’s happening to me again right now and it’s really hard, she’s going through something and pulling away/towards others when we have been VERY close before. Anyone else have this experience?

Words of logic and encouragement would be appreciated. Im 31 & started dating again after 2 years of focusing on myself. Hit it off with a guy that I had been consistently seeing 2-3 times a week for the last month. Today he tells me that he’s still hung up on his ex from 2 years ago. They still text every week or so. I’m sad/disappointed because he’s obviously not emotionally available. Please provide some logic on next steps and pros/cons of staying in contact with this person

So I’m late to the Indian Matchmaking series. Is it the guy who has to be wealthy and the women who need to come from wealth?
