Will Your Relationship Suffer Because of Skyrim?

What are relationships again? Are those the things that happen when you don't spend inordinate amounts of time playing Bethesda games and watching TV in turns?

Welcome Rohugh - Time to sort out this mess I think

:wave: Yep. Give me five minutes.

Edit:-
I talk fast and enjoy making quality driven threads. I have noticed much participation in these threads so I must be doing something right.

There was nothing "quality"about this thread and considering how many posts I had to delete because you derailed it I would say you are doing something wrong.

Now, if you all want a fun and lighthearted thread then OK, but let's keep it that way.

The only relationship I have is with my warning scrolls and banhammer, it grows closer every day because of Skyrim. :D

My friend used to play Oblivion for about 16 hours a day every day for over 3 years and neglected his girlfriend. She dumped him. To say he is an addict is an understatement.

Has anyone elses relationship suffered because of playing rpg games (not just Oblivion, but games like World of Warcraft etc)?

And do you expect to get dumped for being obsessed with Skyrim? Or does this not apply to you?


My g.f. will become insanely jealous of my hot barmaid wife and probably challenge her to a tavern brawl.

The one benefit of being single is that I have no relationship to worry about. All I have is my work and my responsibilities.

my wife is pretty independent (thank god) and has her hobbies, facebook, tv shows, etc. After 8pm when the kids are in bed, its on!!!

Matter of fact, she's so cool about it, i remember when i was running a guild in wow, she use to bring me dinner at my pc when we were raiding lol.

Now, the better question is, will my daytime work suffer because of skyrim, that's another story :hubbahubba:

Seeing as how I don't current have a boyfriend (or girlfriend) and live in an area where I don't really know anyone yet, no. It won't hurt my relationship. It might hurt my chance of getting into a relationship, though.

I find it incredibly sad to find anyone who doesn't want to get off a video game to go around with friends/family.

My girlfriend is just as excited about Skyrim as I am, and she usually likes watching me play, as long as she gets to play next that is.

well...........im going to have to shorten the time for certain activities with my gf. :hugs: between deus ex HR, RAGE and skyrim this is going to be one of the best falls for video games in several years. i have to be careful though cause she throws things from time to time and she doesnt always look to see exactly what she is throwing. she annihilated one of her collectable figurine thingies and then she got mad at me for making her throw it at me. gotta love women's logic. :)

I would never ignore my girlfriend to play a video game :confused:
But maybe that's because she isn't a completely intolerable psycho :shrug:

lmao have you MET my family?

seriously though, from 11.11.11 until 11.14.11 I'm probably going to cut off all contact with the outside world, subsist on stored up fat cells, have a catheter and an I.V. drip of espresso inserted, put on an Astronaut Diaper and FUS RO DAH myself into SKYRIM

Uh, no. I like to think I can manage my time. She might even watch me play, she likes doing that.

My wife constantly sees me on these forums and knows that on November 11 I will be resigning from spousehood, fatherhood and any other hood that I'm obligated for. I think I've almost got her convinced to take my two kids to her parents house on Thursday night until Monday. I'm taking a personal day on Friday from work and might take one on that following Monday. So will my relationship suffer? Not the first couple of days. When six months passes by and I'm still playing it all the time, probably. The only benefit is that my 3-year old son constantly wants to go "find dragons" because I show him the trailer on the computer all the time. I've told him that we get to "find dragons" all the time in November.

I plan on splitting up with my girlfriend a day before Skyrim is released. Don't want her yelling at me while I'm playing :D


:lol:

This thread is humorous, but pathetic.


and :lol:

My girlfriend is into games as well, just not Elder Scrolls. She understands how much I love games, especially Elder Scrolls. The funny thing is that, if I actually get the game when it is released (assuming in New Zealand we get it the same time as everyone else and not delayed) I'll probably have it on her birthday. To which we joke that I will ignore her birthday and play Skyrim ;)

I never understood why people get in and stay in relationships with people who won't let them have hobbies outside of the relationship. That kind of neediness and co-dependence is pathetic. Tell your girlfriend/wife to get a hobby that doesn't involve you, so you can spend SOME time apart without it destroying the relationship.

Or your boyfriend/husband.
I agree with you in principle.
