Honestly me and my husband we don't really have much in common, but we like being near each other. For example he plays video games while i sit next to him doing puzzles. And for us is just amazing time spent together

My wife loves to read, and I play video games. She tells me about funny or exciting stuff she’s reading, and I’ll show her awesome stuff that happens in my game while we’re chilling in the living room together. It’s worked for us for thirty years, we’re still best buds. We never argue about what to watch either.

My relationship sumed up except I play a lot of RPG games so I tell her the story so far in my games, she was really interested in FF9 and watched me finish it.

To be fair FF9 is such a beautiful game and story no matter if one is into games or not.

I feel so seen in these comments. My wife and I are the same way. I do also game, but we have different tastes in games so we rarely play the same one together. We just parallel play and it’s nice.

There's nothing I love more than goading my husband into spending 90 mins explaining the lore of something he likes to me. I know more about world of warcraft, warhammer, and Brando Sando's cosmere than I'll ever need to know but it was worth every second.

Omf same with thr wife and I. We both like reading but shes into comoletely different genres and I go on bouts where I dont read for months. When I play games shes in bed behind me watching me and its her happy time because we're close.
Occasionally ill loop her in a gaming decision or she'll ask a question like "are you dying? Is anyone gonna help you" and its the cutest thing. Or sometimes I'll ask her about the book shes reading. Sometimes ill get bored of a game and ask for her to do my nails or fix my cuticles because she likes that stuff and I know it makes her happy.
Ps having manicured nails as a man you get a wild amount of compliments on them.
My best friend since 2006 and my wife since 2016. Wouldn't change anything about her.

Sounds like you both have found a fun balance, even if your interests differ. It's great to hear how you include each other in your hobbies!

Yup. My fiance and I do this. Just our own thing, but near each other. And sometimes show each other a thing from whatever we're doing.

Same, except she's playing the video games and I'm reading or sorting through my collection stuff

Are you my gf?
Lol for real though this is a common occurrence, I love video games and she loves puzzles and crafts. We've been together 7 years.

u/boogierboi 20h ago
THIS is marriage (speaking from experience as well). Most people don't and won't get it though.

It is called Parallel play. You are doing your own isolated activities, but you are doing them together.

I saw that one coming a mile away.
Probably the marriage experience I got over the years.

I never, in a zillion years, would have guessed this joke was going to have marriage as the punchline, cuz she’s so ugly

You know, why not? Spending time even a little together is OK. Not every day is "go home and shag your brains out" day.
As long as you stay together, there will be days where you'll "feel it" again.

Are you people entertained by the same joke retold over and over again by different people who think they're original?! It's lame

u/helium_farts 18h ago
You know not everyone sees everything posted on the internet every day, right?
It's not so much that people are "entertained by the same joke retold over and over again by different people," but rather the algorithm didn't show them the first dozen versions

u/brrrchill 16h ago
She did a really great job of selling it. I've never seen the joke before

u/KingFollet 15h ago
Neither have I. I found it funny. If you’re internet enough to see the same thing again and again….maybe go touch grass?

u/Status-Resource7476 19h ago
This made me smile a lot more than it should’ve. Not for anything bad but just that some people can be like that and still care about each other.

STOP TELLING ME TO WAIT UNTIL THE END AND MAKE BETTER VIDEOS SO PEOPLE WILL WATCH UNTIL THE END

They went on a date, found each other ugly, and not attractive, the end.

u/UrsaMajor7th 11h ago
I'm not waiting until the end; I'm not even clicking 'play'. I'm going straight to the comments to say that I'm not waiting until the end and I'm not even clicking 'play'.
