I don't understand why said girlfriends always try and stop said boyfriends from playing games… what are they afraid of?

I quite enjoy playing games with my husband! It's one of the things we can do together and have fun doing. He's much better at things than me, and so can help me out, or do the hard parts… but come on now! Girls… TRY and join the world of gaming! Don't try and say 'no you can't do that!' Guys… Get your girls involved! Don't let them say you can't do something if you want to do it! I'm sure you were gaming LOOOOOONG before they came along! You probably will be long after they've gone too! Get the love of games instilled in them, and they'll thank you later!

I couldn't have said it better. A man needs his gaming/alone time. I hate the feeling of being mothered/smothered. It's like I can't even go to the loo without being given directions and having my hand held. GAH! Gets on my last nerve, was also an issue I've had recently. >_> but alas, us men who have better/worse halves wants to have a comfy life and not have arguments. Though I am sure these men are whipped . . . <_< *coughs*
