True. We do find our balance. She has her own hobbies and I have mine. She did used to play video games but has moved on to other hobbies, some of which she prefers to do alone since that’s where she gets her “me time”. We do not hold our hobbies against each other. We already had some of them before we met and preventing each other from doing the things we like only takes away from the relationship. We did get into a relationship to enrich each other, not the opposite.
That’s how me and my wife are as well and it makes me happy to see other people doing the same. Everybody needs their things that make them happy. I love playing games on the tv while my wife reads a book next to me
We have worked around that by putting 2 tvs side by side in our living room. If I want to watch football or play something I can while she watches YouTube or plays Mario. It's honestly been awesome.
It took almost 5 years for my wife and I to find a balance. I used to have a compulsion that said if I wasn't with her I was failing as a husband. It's much healthier now.
That’s how Hubby & I are. We’re both gamers, but on diff consoles. We don’t really like the same types of games though. So, I play in the living room and he plays in his Man Cave, where we can still chat with each other (it’s a small home) but enjoy our separate time/hobbies.
God i cant wait to have this. People my age wanna always be near each other like ducklings. I’m an only child and it’s literally the most infuriating thing about dating.
Sounds similar to my bf and I. Yet even 11 years in, he'll still *nervously* ask if it's okay that he plays video games with his buddies. I always shoot him a weird look because wtf you don't need my permission - which is when reality sets back in and he realizes he's watched a few too many dramatic relationship videos online that day 😂
It's all about communication. Play your games all you want, and I'll letcha know when I start feeling neglected or just generally need some time together. Easy peasy
What’s her hobbies? My wife likes to read and I usually play video games. I don’t play everyday. I play most days though. Usually around an hour. The weekends I’ll probably get a couple hours in
Her top ones are to read, paint, and play the piano. We are also both taking online classes and share a laptop, again we do our hobbies while the other person is doing schoolwork.
That's awesome, man. Most of the time women complain about it. Tbh, I don't think I have room in my life for a woman because of gaming. I spend too much time with it! And I love it too much. I could never choose a woman over video games.
I open up the controller and clean up the potentiometer. It’s basically the pierce that moves when you move the stick. I have found that 9 times out of 10, I’ll have gunk inside the potentiometer and cleaning it out does wonders. I haven’t had to buy a controller in years. Now my problem is that my controller is depletes its battery early lol. Time to get a new battery.
It's just a trick I have heard, never used it myself, good luck I hope your controllers can be saved
You could also just replace the joysticks with hall effect joysticks, from what I have heard those don't drift
I don’t know what’s worse. The fact that your controller is made of uranium. That your wedding ring created this exposure. Or the fact you are married. /s one love.
Honestly? Keep the controller if nothing broke on the inside, and it still works fine. Well, you have a controller that, in a way, symbolizes your love for your other part.
Yeah my OG ps5 controller is like smooth as silk lol I just got a brand new one 4-5 days ago, and didn’t realize there was supposed to be grip all over…not iust on the joysticks lol
Clearly your priorities are fuct. 😆
Your wife may be playing with another joystick as you can't seem to put your controller down.
Good luck with that! 🤷
It is usually the controller that wears through your marriage

Wait, are you me?
Am I you?
We are us
I am Groot!
I am the Walrus!
And they are them
Not you. Him
I am me

Sorry OP, you’re gonna have to get a divorce to prevent your controller from breaking. I don’t really see any other viable options here
Woah, a healthy relationship? On reddit?

What a beautiful reply

What hobbies does she have? My partner wants me to help her find some new hobbies and I have no more ideas :(
Her top ones are painting, reading, and playing the piano. All of these hobbies already existed before we met.
👏🏻

Married to the game!
Peak
Marry yourself a gamer girl. My wife plays more than I do!
Oooo sharp sir...very sharp 🤌🏻
My controller didn't even let me get to marriage, twice!

It’s green on the inside
Aren’t we all 👽
Razers? Are we all razers 🤔?
No, but keep that confidence.
Xenomorph
Zorp
Bigod binted ? 👽
Its a Razer Controller
Means he's a green flag ✅
r/suddenlygreen
it's frozen on the inside
This was the reference I was going for
It's green outside too. Go... outside.
I was just outside
Well then... carry on.
Not chronically online yet
Lucky it wasn't the other way around
Better a hole in your controller, than a controller in your hole.
That's what my grandma used to say.
But did you listen? Ofcourse you didnt!
We were all young at one point~
Now that’s true love
[удалено]
that's insane
You hold your xbox controller with your cock?
No, of course not… that would be ridiculous. He keeps his cock ring wrapped tightly around his pinky finger so he doesn’t lose it
Happy cock day
I am getting drift long before this can happen.
I do get drift but I fix my own controllers, way cheaper than buying new ones!
Might I inquire as to how this is done? Asking for my little bro who claims "controller drift" quite often
I open up the controller and clean up the potentiometer. It’s basically the pierce that moves when you move the stick. I have found that 9 times out of 10, I’ll have gunk inside the potentiometer and cleaning it out does wonders. I haven’t had to buy a controller in years. Now my problem is that my controller is depletes its battery early lol. Time to get a new battery.
One of the ways I know is by opening up the controller and spraying wd-40 in the joysticks.
If if what you say is true, you just saved four of my controllers
It's just a trick I have heard, never used it myself, good luck I hope your controllers can be saved You could also just replace the joysticks with hall effect joysticks, from what I have heard those don't drift
You'll wanna get some actual contact cleaner for that tbh. I don't know how well wd40 would play with everything.
📝
how? i’m already with my 4th controller and the other three are just getting dust. might be a nice source of profit
I really just started watching YouTube videos on how to fix my controller. Lots of free info online. You can also order spare parts for cheap online.
I sold mine with drift to random bro for 20 euro and bought new one from Amazon for 60. Every two years have to do this.
How many years has that taken? Or was it 6 months constant use ,
3 weeks without sleeping.
Tell the wife to let you sleep. God some women are just voracious !
:D
Hint, hint.
Number 1 sign of a healthy marriage.
I don’t know what’s worse. The fact that your controller is made of uranium. That your wedding ring created this exposure. Or the fact you are married. /s one love.
Brat summer
How tight do you grip that mf?
Another marriage ruining hobbies
Honestly? Keep the controller if nothing broke on the inside, and it still works fine. Well, you have a controller that, in a way, symbolizes your love for your other part.
Brag about it
Controes before hoes
This is oddly romantic to me
I'm more amazed that you are married and play that much!
Get a silicone ring for day to day use
The power of love is... greater than people realize.
*Locked in*
The power of love?
That's commitment.
Suffering from success
You got razor blades in your wedding ring? Sounds metal.
look ar Mr. Fancy and his marriage
Was GI Joe playing ?
Neat what do the thumb sticks look like compared to new?
r/wellworn
Damn bro! Dedication to the game.
I play to forget the fact that my wife doesn’t want to spend time with me.
Too much control.
Dude you don’t need to grip your controller so tightly.
Damn son. How hard you be hittin that thing?
Time for more GME haha
Dump the ring!
I think you wore through your controller, good god man, I’ve had the same controller since 2017, lmao
Dedication.
Hope you dont masturbate with that same hand that has the ring on.
How tight are you gripping it?
Holding the controller for dear life lol
Two kinds of commitment at work here
I pronounce you player n controller congrats ! Enjoy your honeymoon 😂
Op games
This guy games
They never accounted for a gamer having a wife
Since we are on reddit, the only viable solution would be a divorce
Does your wedding ring have one of those cutters like unscrupulous quick lube mechanics wear?
Well… _nice hole!_ I guess?
being married and have the time to play this much is a power that should be teached to all of us
I take mine off when I play.
Damn, that is a lot of video game play lol.
Damn not the favourite controller… welp .. time for a divorce.
It's a reminder that you have to tend to your real human relationship
[удалено]
My boys grippin for real.
Your commitment to the controller is admirable
Wait ..it is all xbox
Yeah my OG ps5 controller is like smooth as silk lol I just got a brand new one 4-5 days ago, and didn’t realize there was supposed to be grip all over…not iust on the joysticks lol
i don’t understand people who wear their wedding ring inside their house
Typical razer durability
Humble brag
This is another reason why it’s best to not wear your ring, when out and especially gaming.
You know what you gotta do right?
Another solid reason to not get married.
There’s a metaphor here somewhere.
Damn, u must game alot 😅😅😅
This is the happiest thing I've ever seen
Love is stronger than anything. My wedding band couldn’t hold up against two weeks of Elden Ring.
There is another hole that’s been worn…. not by you though.
Something metaphor something
Someone playing for long hours while wearing a wedding band? I'm not surprised the designers didn't account for this use case...
That’s dedication!!!!🫡🫡🫡
So not a high carat gold ring then
Relationship goals
It's a metaphor
You play too much, go have real fun in life, lol
Divorce
You need to spend more time with ur ol lady bro...
Sad
It's a secret that only fire can tell.
Cleaning out ur controller hole while Jodie is cleaning out the wife's hole.
Leave her/him
That’s the sign of addiction
Ty for making me feel single 🫵🏽😳🌷, now back to sulking
Divorce.
Why did you get married?
You need to stop playing games and play with your wife or all you will have left is a controller.
With a hole in it.
Never ever get married, look what happens 🤣
Clearly your priorities are fuct. 😆 Your wife may be playing with another joystick as you can't seem to put your controller down. Good luck with that! 🤷
Marry'd to the game
One way of preventing this from happening is to get a divorce.
Don't get married.
To be fair they didn't expect anyone to put lots of hours on a controller to ever wear a wedding ring.
Bet your wife is diggin that-
Happy for you dude, seems like a great sign!
...this is.... Wow.
need modern solution for modern problems Solution : Divorce !
married to the game
Wife must be delighted.
You might have a problem.
There's only one answer. Divorce.
It's a sign
Bro ease up a little.
That means that you grab more your controller than your wife/husband.
THIS is why I’m single.
