Most ladies sound mortified when I tell them I am married to a Gamer. I get why, but I would still choose my gamer over and over again.
Being a Gamer’s Wife means that you have to accept that: His steam account is where all his money goes, so no cute romantic gifts for you - instead, new games, virtual gun skins and fire-arms for him.
Most men have selective hearing, but being married to gamer, hearing is really non-existent as they wear their headphones most of the time. This means - there is no husband waiting for you by the door, because he doesn't even know that you are home. There is no “Yes darling? I’m coming” answers to your distress calls because he is to busy killing people on-line.
If you think that your life is more important than a CS:GO Comp - my God, you’ve got it all wrong. I literally had to put my emergency aside because the famous line “I can’t help you now, I’m in the middle of a comp!” interrupted my emergency.
Peaceful sleeping is also something that has gone out the window. Hearing swearing and screaming until 3 am on a Saturday morning is not the ideal beauty sleep.
When the internet is down, my husband turns into King Kong gone mad (this is entertaining though).
Sounds like the perfect husband, right? RIGHT!
When he is gaming - I have uninterrupted me-time. I can do my nails, binge on Vanderpump Rules, enjoy my chocolate without having to share and be on social media without having to hear the phrase “are you still instagramming?”.
I never have to worry about where my husband is, with who he is or whether he is safe - because he will be in his man-cave (where he was 5 hours ago).
I get to know the gamer side of him, which is extremely funny ALL the time. The screams, the yells, the swearing and the gaming lingo. The gaming lingo kills me. Anyone dating a gamer knows that these are hysterical.
I kinda got into playing PUBG, so now we have something to talk about (when he is not gaming).
He also made friends with a Belgium guy and this guy happens to have a really nice girlfriend - which is now my friend. You can really meet all kinds of people from all over the world. I love this.
Yes, a gamer’s life is all about gaming. Now, PUBG and I have taken the backseat as we have to make room for COD World War II. This reminds me - I need to find a new series to binge on...
Even though, gaming takes up majority of his time - I wont get salty as he could be doing way worse things with his spare time. So from my side - game on babe and enjoy winning ‘dem chicken dinners!
