Do YOU Have A Significant Other?

[CaptainSarathai]

Ah well, forgot this thread even existed. But, after a year, and 5 months to the day, my girlfriend hit the road. Still haven't been able to figure out why, as about 99% of my existence went into that relationship.
And don't worry, I'm not so sad as to come crying here first, it's been about a 2 weeks, and she's moved on to another guy. It was probably just fatigue, as I can be a very difficult person to be with at times. She's happier now though, which is something that I'm alright with. Hey- at least I'm able to eat and sleep again.

Just something for everyone to remember; don't give up enough to actually lose yourself in anyone. Because believe me- after seeing my parents go through a divorce, and after giving my entire life to that girl just to have it handed back in pieces- nothing in this world is permanent. If your gaming is important to you, keep playing. If anything really, truly matters to you and makes you who you are, keep it up. They liked you how you were when they met you, so there's no need to change anything about yourself.

Lala- tell her you play. If she asks questions, give her honest answers. Don't be ashamed of yourself. Or anything that you do. I'm working on a girl now who is hard into snowboarding, and i just started it. I told her that I paint minis and she started showing me that she sketches urban landscapes. We were both kinda shy about our hobbies, but it turns out that it brought us that little bit closer.

yep been together just over two years, been engaged four about 8 months. For the guy who's worried about 'coming out' to his girlfriend if she really likes you it won't be a problem. I eased the subject in with my fiance (gf at the time). She said she liked collecting and putting together jigsaws and sometimes cross stitching, and was worried I'd think it was sad. I just smiled and said "baby, I've got that beat". Anyhoo since then she does like to take an interest, couldnt see her starting an army as she doesnt understand how I have the patience to paint all those tiny details (yet she sees no problem with pondering over a pile of a thousand jigsaw pieces).

She even takes an interest in wandering round GW stores with me, and braved going in alone to buy me christmas presents. I would have KILLED to be there for her conversation with the guys in the store. Apparently she did actually ask if they 'had those little spiky fellas, but not the ordinary ones'. I realise that quote makes her sound like an air headed idiot. Which is far from the truth, but when shes talking about a subject matter she doesnt really know, she tends to just bluff it and ends up sounding very cute.

But I suppose I'm biased. She has always had a thing where she finds 'podgy' bellies to be cute, and so she thinks the GW nurgle daemon prince is adorable (?!). She will only refer to him as 'Mr Nurgle'. She was nowhere near as light-hearted and was quite sensible when I first met her, I'm not sure if I've just given her confidence and brought her out of her shell, or if I've just somehow de-matured her.

I've always had a very silly sense of humour and it definately seems to be rubbing off. The day I realised she may have been with me too long we were wandering round Ikea not long after she moved into my house and my house mate had moved out. I saw this light fitting and said "thats nice but it would look a bit bare in the spare room", she just giggled a little and looked at the floor. I just rolled my eyes and said "you're thinking about a bear in the spare room aren't you?" she giggled again and nodded. What have I done to this poor girl

Me?

I'm married, have been so for four years, baby due on Monday. Wife tolerates the hobby, which is good because I would lose all sense of balance otherwise.

I can't recommend getting married enough to those of you who are engaged and haven't got around to it yet. It really is different and better!
