I read a blog the other day written by a woman that takes an interest in her husband's nerdy pursuits. Unfortunately, my handsome nerd was reading it over my shoulder. I'm pretty sure he was hoping I would change my tune and join his nerd activities. I felt a small pang of guilt that I won't even pretend to care about his nerd games.
Then today, my pang became a bit larger. My friend's wife is going to learn how to play Magic the Gathering with him. The game involves big card decks and lots of nerds. I know nothing of the game, even though the cards were originally owned by my Blueberry. He gave the cards to my friend. I saw them once, in a box. That's the extent of my knowledge on the subject.
I also know of someone that used to play WoW with her man. My man used to play WoW. I tried really hard to play. I lasted about 10 minutes and I couldn't make my character walk in a straight line. It made me dizzy. I did win some boots with fur as a prize. That was exciting. But not exciting enough for me to ever log back on.
Does that make me a bad wife? Should I be more interested in things that interest him?

No.
That would confuse me. Disliking video games has been a defining characteristic of your existence since my remembered history (not that that's a long time).
I try to like what my boyfriend likes, but sometimes it's just impossible.
how am I ever going to like his dog, when she's an Akita and wants to eat me!
how can a play soccer when my boobs get in the ways of ever running as fast as i can?
how can i want to play videogames when i stare at a PC all day and get tired of any sort of screen after i leave work?
just take it a little bit at a time: i go with him whe he walks the dog (so she's on a leash); i go watch him play soccer and become his personal cheerleader; and we play wii games like boxing or stuff that isn't complicated at all.
'cuz he's a nerd... but then again, so am i ;)
hope it was usefull!
