    Have you guys tried getting a game she could play or enjoy as well? My wife was alright with me playing games but I didn't want to leave her out, I invited her to my hobby. I got a kinect for my 360 and Beatles rock band and she doesn't care if I play.

    You've got quite a bit of good advice from people already. We're all gamers here, and some with more relationship experience than others.
    For me personally, my wife doesn't really like how much I game. She prefers I'd come downstairs and spend more time with her (I've cut back gaming substantially since being engaged/with school so it's not as bad anymore). But she also understands that after 6 hours at school, another 6 at work, and then countless hours spent doing homework, sometimes I need time to unwind and many times that is through gaming.
    It sucks as you obviously care a lot about her as she's your fiancée, but you also can't be miserable to make someone else happy. If she can't see that you have taken steps to make it better but you still need some of those things that you enjoy then it will just get worse. What happens when you're always around each other once you get married and can't get those one or two games in?
    You just need to sit down and talk without getting mad. Don't make ultimatums. Those rarely lead to a compromise of both people and someone ends up upset.

    As of lately, me and my fiance have been having lots of issues, mostly because I game. I dont see this as an issue because we dont live together and I dont play games alot when I am around her unless we are home. 
     
    Let me start from something that occurred a few months ago. I was way into Dota 2 and played about 20 hours/week. She viewed this as an addiction and didnt like it, but I let it slip. I didnt play when I was with her, so why does it matter what I do on my free time? Well, this last april she gave me the choice of either keep her or keep playing dota. And I chose her.
     
    After that I tried and tried to not play, but every once in a while when she was at work I would sneak in a game or two. Now I am trying to convince her that she needs to be accepting of who I am and what my hobbies are, or our relationship isnt going to work out. 
     
    We had a fight tonight and I dont think she is talking to me right now. We havent split up but things are rough.
     
    I need some help. What do I tell her? How do I keep things going? Im worried and need some advice. Anything will help.

    This is why most of the community doesn't like you.
     
    @TDKR: I'm in a similar boat buddy, my partner doesn't really like me gaming either and we live together so it's difficult. I simply addressed the issue face on, I told her that I'd been playing games for years before I met her, it's what I want to do in my 30 minutes of spare time a day and if you love me, you'll let it go. She bitches and moans every now and then when I play but 90% of the time, even if she doesn't like it, she just let's it go and let's me get on with it.
     
    You can't sit at home and sneak games, that's not a good thing because you're always looking over your shoulder. Make sure she knows there are more important things between you two than a couple of hours of gaming...you wouldn't stop her doing her hair and going out with friends, so she shouldn't stop you doing what you enjoy. 
     
    Be a man, and tell her.

    I'm sorry you're having these issues. I feel like she needs to understand what you want and work with it, as you have done for her already.
     
    She wanted you to reduce your gaming by not playing Dota as much, and what did you do? You stopped for her. Now I feel like one or two games is not going to hurt anyone, especially if she is not there. It's your free time, you should be able to spend it how you want. I'm sure she is great and worries about losing you, but she has to understand and you have to show her that she won't lose you to gaming.
     
    Perhaps if she doesn't come around, and feels like she cant take it; then perhaps your not made for each other. The understanding of ones wants needs to come from both sides. 
     
    I feel like I had the same issue, and I let it get to far. Back around 2010 I had a girl who hated that I played games, and I stopped for her. But after years passed it got worse and worse. She started "suggesting" I stop doing other things I enjoyed. Eventually I saw what was becoming of the relationship and had to end it, but it took me nearly three years of being controlled to see it.
     
    You're a great guy, I'm sure she knows what she has and is lucky to have it. But that acceptance of needs and whats needs to come from both sides, not just you.  
     
    Hope this helps,
    Best of luck buddy, if you ever need to talk hit me up.
     
    Sincerely,
    Bulldog

    A couple weeks back me and two T's were alone in late night JB. Unlike most people on the server we decided to get creative and make home made water beds for a pool party.
