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.

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

My fiancé 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.
