No wonder why your wife loves you so much. Gets the best of both worlds. Xbox and dick. So do you present it to her in a sandwich form or more of a hot dog on a bun fashion?

Getting your Gf/wife into gaming
1. Understand what she likes (assuming because she a girl she’s going to like only cute girly type games is misguided)there’s a good chance that the type of movies she likes will lend a clue to the type of game she might be interested in. Mine loves horror, and suspense, and post apocalyptic moves for example, she also loves left for dead 2, fallout 3, and condemned. pick out games that are similar to the movies she likes and see if she starts to follow the story line.
2. Reduce her stress: Take care of the household chores, paying the bills, dealing with the kids if you have any, and other real life issues, if she’s exhausted from housework and/or work, kids, and stressed about “life” she’s not going to be open to relaxing at a video game. This step can take weeks of prep, consistency is key, one day here and there won’t cut it.
3. Try to get her involved in your game play anyway you can, print up guides for those pesky collectible achievements and have her assists you in finding them. You can also use this for Guitar hero games by printing up the star charts and having her tell you when to use star power for maximizing your score.
4. Take her (only her) with you when you shop for games, after a few times doing that ask her to pick one out for “you” to play. Tell her you can’t make up your mind or whatever it takes to get her to take a closer look at the games.
5. Should you manage to get her interested in playing, don’t treat her like one of the boys. Don’t start shouting “owned” or “in your face” type of stuff or any type of gloating should you defeat her or best her score. That stuff will quickly turn her away from gaming around "you"

Quote by AJ:
True that man, I dumped my girlfriend for the same reason. If they don't like it, boot em.
this +1
I had a girlfriend that when we were watching movies on the 360 and someone logged on she would say "::insert name:: logged on" in a real condescending voice that would make me want to punch her in the mouth. I don't hit women and never will, but the way she said it made me want to start.
So......i broke up with her
Coincidentally enough, I broke up with a girlfriend of mine, and the money she payed me back with, I bought my first 360....that was truly a happy, happy day

I can play at night on Saturday and Sunday if i want after spending the day with the fam which I would do anyways. However, I can and WILL Prioritize my gaming over my family when FF XIII-2 comes out. They better just recognize!!
