Its just about priorities, I have a wife and 2 kids now and they are much more important to me than playing games. In saying that I still get to gether with 2 of my mates every Friday night and we play from about 8 at night till 3 or 4 in the morning, that way i still get to play games, catch up with my mates and spend time with my wife and kids

I like the idea of a dress and ring, but screw the committments



if you find the right guy, that shouldn't happen.

A friend i know, beck his name is, has been married for 2 years now, now before he got married he would hang out with friends (including myself), we would have a few drinks, go home, play some games and watch some movies. It was a once every second week thing. However after he got married, he changed, he turned stuck up, snobby, you know the ****tail sipping kind? Yeah that. Its because the girl he married was sent to a private school and has a very wealthy father who owns quiet a few businesses. And because she is such a stuck up little up turned tart, beck gets this sudden urge to completely change himself to fit her and her fathers "criteria" beck was a good friend, now he is just a snob living off his gf's fathers money. He doesnt even talk to us (his friends) now, we're apparently "not good enough" and having a few drinks, watching a few movies and playing a few games once every fortnight is too "unhealthy and boring" He ignores us completely, but we're over him. If he breaks up with this girl and his life crashes down on him, we wont be there to support him, we will just point and laugh.

Well marraige from my knowledge is a big step in life especailly for men since they have priorities to look after the family etc.

In your case Gaetano, I feel sorry for you cause I know how it feels. Mates that just turn their back. But you should consider firstly what his priorities are.

well some people need to realize that games aren't all that in life, there are other important things to do, and priority's come first

I'll admit, I started playing less video games upon hooking up with my girlfriend. But in all honesty, I think I just grew out of it. I used to play my games almost religiously but nowadays, its hard for me to play a game for more than 3 hours on end...and even then, when I finish the game I just don't feel the same satisfaction I did when I was single (and young, mind you).

But in saying that, I have picked up some other hobbies along the way such as music and painting Warhammer models. Surprisingly, my girlfriend approves of my painting hobby and encourages me to keep going at it. She's an arts n crafts freak so I guess it's only natural she think that way about the hobby.

My ex (who I keep in contact with) is the same with me and my creative writing. If it wasn't for her, I'd have given up heaps of times. I've been published a couple of times, so I guess all women aren't evil lol

all i can say is that i feel as if i dont have the urge to play games like i used too.. its kinda weird, ive played games all of my life, no i hardly play it, and similar to elraro, i cant play for long now, its not like it used to be. i think i may have outgrown games, but hopefully not.

my life is devoted to my local fitness first gym , which im always working out there. so my life is school/ gym/ computer and maybe like a game of buzz but thats it for me

be healthy

Well i use to be a keen gamer and play hours on end....but since settling down with the Mrs. i just dont have the same urge to play games anymore!! We have 3 kids and have been married just over a year and in amongst working 50 hours a week, doing things around the house on days off and spending time with the family, i can always find time to get a little console time in.
Usually after the kiddos have gone to bed and the wife is watching her "chick" shows. I havent changed who I am since becoming a dad or a husband, now i just split my time up differently. But having said that, i would never turn my back on my friends etc as friends are always going to be there for you...partners may not be, unfortunately!!
I guess im one of the lucky ones and i wouldnt change my situation for anything and im lucky to be married to such an amazing woman...not when she is kicking my a$$ on Wii though

I still get to hang out with mates and she hangs out with the girls and its healthy for us to also have our own time or things just would not work, in any relationship that is. I have not changed and i would never expect her too
