AuSsIeThUnDeR36 Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 My wife doesn't really like gta much. At all...in fact. She detests SA and the whole gang thing. Even when she asks what I'm doing and I say 'Playing IV' there is a silence. Cold silence. I imagine her standing there with anger and then I feel guilt. I want her to appreciate that gta is what I enjoy playing and it's better for me to chill out and play when I'm bored instead of going out and drinking at the pub or something like that would really annoy her. Like its either gta or looking at half naked bar chicks at the pub. I know that gta v is going to be amazing and I want to enjoy it fully, without feeling guilty because of my wife's view of it being a murder and robbing game. She is going to let me play it and I want to get her into it too and play it with me but she's already not keen knowing that there's 'gang stuff' again. I have tried telling her it's not like all gang stuff like SA. I just want her to enjoy it too so I don't feel so damn guilty all the time. What can I do, apart from divorce? Divorce is not an option for me guys I'm not that stupid. I just want her to give gta v a chance so what can I say to change her mind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've already been there and it's not a nice experience. This is my 2nd marriage and my wife and I have already promised each other there will be no divorce happening. I just want her to be able to sit down with me and see that its going to be fun to play. I said I wanted her to sit and just enjoy the first 5 minutes at least and she's like ' no no you play it, I put up with it' and I'm like 'damn it' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anonamix Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Show her mission. I would ask her to be open minded to your personal hobbies. I would also get a sort of man cave to avoid any angry/negative hovering.. that can spoil immersion rather fast I would imagine. If she is having trouble accepting it.. I doubt you will have much luck getting her to enjoy it. I got my girl into gaming through fable and Oblivion. Once she was able to dress up a female protag.. she was hooked.

stobe187 Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 For a start, demo her some of the talk radio stations, tv shows and all the humor that is embedded in the GTA experience - maybe then she'll get an inkling of why you love the damn series that much!

A (working) relationship is based in understanding each other and trying to overcome the differences At the same time you shouldn't ignore her too much just to play. You know, 50/50 yield.

jolzew1 Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 I don't think you'll be able to get her into GTA bro. If she detests it because of the content that's not something that's going to change. I think the best conversation you can have with her is about mutual respect for each others hobbies. If playing video games is one of your hobbies, something that does not hurt you/someone else and most importantly the marriage, then she needs to respect that. She's being childish. Take this from someone that's been married a long time, an honest conversation, is the most advantageous route. It's quite selfish to act in a way around your mate that makes them feel guilty for doing something they enjoy. Either she is very young, mid twenties, or she's entirely too selfish and controlling. She needs a good dose of reality if she believes her behavior is something that is acceptable. Just my opinion, good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orbitalraindrops Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 People like different sh*t yo. Don't force it on others. I know V is hot sh*t right now and you wanna share its fap ability with people but maybe she aint down with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sept17th2013 Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 She gots to learn to be able to see the good things in it, is what I'm saying. I once had a GF who was a techno music nut, and I couldn't stand it sometimes. But it was a matter of time that I understood her and ended up liking it as well, because I made the effort to solve our difference. THAT is love.

The Wolfman Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Your wife is a buzzkill, force her to join in to play GTA with you and if she's still not interested... Well, that is your decision. It's now or never. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn 7 five 11 Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Don't give her the D until she gives in Witholding sex from a woman is a very bad idea because: A) She's just going to get madder, now AussieThunder not only wastes his time on the game, but now he's witholding sex because of the game. B) She will last much longer than you. Also divorce? What the f*ck? Are you clowns joking? That's like getting divorced because of a TV show. AussieThunder, you just need to shut up about GTA, just don't talk about it, she obviously doesn't like it, too bad, it happens, just leave it be, it would annoy me if my girlfriend like Home and Away (As an example.) and just wouldn't shut the f*ck up about pestering me with it. If she catches you playing the game and mentions something snarky, just say something like "Sorry, I really like video games, and I know you don't, but this is my down time and I just want to do something I enjoy, if you think i'm playing to much, i'll play less, I can't help it, it's just a hobby of mine." Something like that anyway, don't mention anything about how she should like them as well, and don't mention GTA, just refer to any game as a video game.

Cyfa Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 If she doesn't play GTAV with you then she doesn't care about what you are interested in. If this continues the only thing to do is separate. Sorry, that's how life is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antisatan7 Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 (edited) I presented my girlfriend with the customization aspects of the game and she thought it was cool. She was like"that sounds fun I could have a character and dress them up in different outfits and stuff and drive around." She was just really pissed off that she couldn't be a female character. She was like "it's kinda like playing with dolls." I told her "yeah that's kinda true." yet I couldn't let her ride it off that way. I couldn't let her say that gaming was nothing but sitting on the couch playing with virtual dolls! So I proceeded by pulling out the arts that go into games, the story telling as well as the intellectual study of sciences and such it takes to make these things. I presented her with videos of motion/live actor capture in gaming. This just showed the similarities of her acceptable movies into gaming. I think the girl from Juno who plays in Beyond:Two Souls got her attention. She realized it was kinda cool. And yeah, if it's the violence and crime that bothers them I'd state the fact that violence and crime is apart of life. It does actually happen. It is a real thing and by playing a game you can study the storyline and consider the realities of these things as if it was a documentary of some sort. Perhaps she just needs to know where your motives are in killing people in the game, that its for fun because it's a game, and a puzzle for the mind. If she still has something to say about the violence and pushes away the fact that it's just a game consider the story of a son with a toy gun who wants to play army. Does the mom play along or tell the boy to stop playing the game and to not aim the toy gun at her? I'd say the mom plays along but intellectualizes that imagination and actually doing something are two different things. After those arguments you've pretty much hit her from every angle.

John Footpenis Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Show her the countryside and the animals. Take a nice bike ride through the wilderness and show her how beautiful the game is. You may even want to take a dive in the ocean. Then try yoga, tennis, working out, and all the other small things that add to the immersion. Then let her create your MP character possibly. Just show her that GTA ain't all guns and hookers anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
