My gf broke up with me today feels like because it but I told her I don't make u quit ur hobbies why should I quit mine. Wanted to know if anyone else experienced this kind of crap :(
Im sorry dude, did you try to get her into it? Or ask if you could restrict yourself so she would stay?
Sorry bro! That sucks. I actually just have my gf an intro course to magic last night. Before the crash course, "this game seems kinda weird. I don't wanna play". I made her a deck of Angels and elves (pretty cards. Lmao) and taught her to play. After crash course, "wow this game is more intriguing. Alot more going on then I thought!". Now she might be attending my meta meetings. Sooo try making her a deck. She will feel like you want her to become involved. Not gunna guarantee though. But worth a shot if you really wanna have her stay.
It may take days or it may take years but when you find "the one" she'll accept you for who and what you are. Planeswalker or not. :P
Yeah dude. It sucks, but you'll realize you're better off. Anyone who tries to control what you do for fun, isnt probably gonna stop there.

Agreed
My wife despises MtG and it really sux dealing with that so good ridens and move on. I would recommend being open to any new GF upfront and don't surprise her with it. In my wife's defense, I did not play when we got together, I still had all my cards from when I did play. I got back into MtG after playing DotP online after my wife and I already been married for a few years and we have kids. She does not like it but she is cool with it as long as I don't spend too much time doing MtG stuff that take away from family stuff....which is totally understandable. She actually gets mad at me more often for being on this forum all the time lol.

Better be careful doing that my wife accused me of cheating cuz I did the same thing. They know you are in there on your phone and her mind is racing trying to figure out who you could be talking to. Mark my words my friend ;)
I couldn't imagine myself with someone who hated my hobbies. If someone likes you, then they like your hobbies. In some ways you're a reflection of the things you enjoy.
If they dont like your hobbies, then what is it they like about you?

I know right, I keep telling my wife that she may like it if she would ever take the time to try and learn. We like a lot of the same stuff especially nerdy stuff like Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, and Medevil books/movies. She got big into the vampire books....Twilight.....so I built her a kickass vamp deck with Nocturnus, Nighthawks, and all the cool stuff.....still would did not entice her. I then built a werewolf deck going for the Jacob theme and still failed.
I'm not saying my girlfriend has to play, or even know what the cards look like, but if I were given an ultimatum or something I'd be right out the door.
I don't tell her how to have fun, she can't tell me.
My entire family is extremely evangelistic and hates that I play. I asked them to look at it a little deeper before they judge it but sadly they refused. My younger cousin tried to get into it and bought a pack and pulled a {Runescarred Demon}. His parents only saw "Demon" and that was the end. Years later they have come to accept it despite their disapproval. The one person's opinion I care most about is my wife's. She has no problem with the game and had me build her a Naya deck so she can play on occasion.
People will see the game for what they want to see it and say what they will. At least you aren't shooting up heroine or doing drive-bys

Did you throw some {Rakish Heir}s in there? LOL
My fiancΓ© left me recently for completely different reasons (reasons which have HER friends not speaking to her, by the way, her fault completely), she never played magic, but understood it was a hobby of mine, so she was cool with it.
When I first started dating my gf now of almost 3 years, the second we labeled each other boyfriend/girlfriend, I told her all the things about me. My obsession with Transformers, my nerd nights playing MtG and video games with my bros, my movie fascinations, my medieval novel writing, etc. granted I thought she would give me the "what the fudge did I get myself into?" look, but she then went on with her list of things she likes, aka obsessed with Disney and reading and baking,etc. So honestly, you need to be upfront at the beginning because you want the person to like you for who you are and that hiding stuff means you are taking the conscious act to hide it bc you don't think or "know" that she will be accepting of you. My girlfriend has actually embraced the things I like and actually feeds my obsession (she bought me an Energon Omega Supreme.... Google it....that thing is a HUGE!) ....(that's what she said...π)
Damn, I am ranting. Hate when that happens. Anyway, you need someone to like you for who you are.
My girlfriend was skeptical at first, but I built her an angel deck, "because she is my angel," and now she loves it. She even bought me a {Gisela, Blade of Goldnight}, for my birthday. She even let's me go to tournaments. Get a gf that likes it and dont let her go man.
My girlfriend let me go to qualifiers while she was in labor. Lol. It payed off.

Wow I can't believe you went to qualifiers while she was having a child :/ were you at least skyping with her durin labor or somethin?
She was in labor for two days. They didn't expect her to have my son until the next day so she said I could go since this was the last qualifier for a long time.
It payed off because I qualified. Lol
I felt bad when I got the call, but I was in the last round so I didn't miss much.

That'll make for a lovely story for the little one. "Yeah, I didn't miss much. Just your first breath, you coming into the world. NBD. But I qualified, so hey, it all works out, right?" ;)

I was this punk skater kid in HS and somehow my first GF was one of the hottest girls in school who was a grade ahead of me, the head cheerleader, and used to date the head football player. So you can imagine I fell head over heels in love with this chick. Very painful when she started cheating on me when she went to college but that is life man and remember your best years really are not HS by a long shot ;)
So much wisdom and good feeling hearing. I'm newer to magic, have had my girlfriend well before I owned a single card, and yea, she wasn't hugely into it at first. One day, while digging through some singles I found an old {moon sprite}. The quote text made me think of her, so I bought it. I then slowly collected and made her a faerie deck. Now, she loves playing. Anytime I start a new deck idea, she insists I play her until she beats me twice. Not hard, it's a good all flying deck, but she enjoys it. We went our first prerelease together, and that got her more into it. She did better than me, and found a cash buyer for my foil Elesh Norn. I will never leave home without her again. :)
Find a girl like mine. Kicks your butt at magic and then has make up sex with you.

I agree right, as long as you aren't prioritizing fun for responsibilities. A partner should respect the others hobbies as long as those hobbies don't interfere with things. I've known guys that spent grocery money on cards, that didn't do any cleaning up or things like that because they were spending hours and hours playing video games. Sometimes, that was me.
Trust me sometimes waiting is te best thing to do. I got hurt a lot and ended up single for about a year and a half before I met my current girlfriend who has no problem with me playing magic even though I just started and was playing yugioh before that. It's just important to did someone who not only likes you but isn't judgmental about what you do. Be you man and (deleted) who ever doesn't like it man. Keep your chin up

My apologies jester I went into rant mode and forgot to censor my thoughts sorry :(
I used to play Mt:G when I was a kid. Grew up, met a girl, lived and got married. About a year ago started playing MTGO and she didn't care for it, thinking it was just another dumb "computer game". It wasn't until I went out and bought a AVR booster box , and started playing with paper again, did she realise what it was.
She doesn't mind me playing at all, because it's a hobby and knows I'm not stupid enough to spend all our cash on cards but every time we're in town she bugs me to buy a few packs, purely because she likes to open them and likes all the "pretty" ones. Bought another box on Monday, and she was happier about it than I was!
Chin up OP, if she can't accept you for who you are then you're better off without her.
