Dating simulation games: are they "allowed" in your relationship?

I recently got a new game that's a dating sim and was curious to hear what other's think about that sort of thing in their monogamous relationships. For me personally I don't mind my partner playing them if it's for the story or for laughs, but if he's playing it for sexual or romantic interests then that's not cool with me. (If anyone cares the game I'm playing is called Date Everything. You unlock dateable human versions of inanimate objects in your house. I love my couch.)

I'll count it! I've been suggested Stardew Valley by so many people now, I need to try it soon!

Avatar

like you said depends. My bf snd i play stardew valley and marry other people. I play the sims and i make characters of myself and marry other characters. I think if its all fun and games it doesnt really matter.

it does become very routine, but I have gotten to year 4 twice now! First time, I had two kids & second time I finally got pregnant with baby #1 lol. Haven’t played in a few months, but I love the game & highly recommend it! The mining, farming, crafting, selling, fishing, etc.

I'm obsessed with Minecraft so everything I've heard makes it seem like it'd be up my alley!

exactly! 💕💕

I love Minecraft as well! And Stardew has its share of enemies as well, like the jellies in the mines lol. Once you get a sword, they’re easier to tackle.

I haven't played the Sims yet either but told my husband I'd absolutely be doing that in the game 🤣

My husband and I both play video games. We both used to play Sim long ago . My husband does play different variety of games such as Hogwarts Legacy, God of War, Rust, ect,. Even GTA, Minecraft. I play more of shooting games and the game CRASH that I loved playing growing up. My Little Big Planet is the first game my husband and I played together.

OMG a lot of y’all are probably too young to know this game back on Xbox 1 but if you Google it it’s raunchy and funny AF, called Leisure Suit Larry, he’s a boy at college that goes around seducing and bringing college girls back to his dorm lol it was the funniest but coolest game I played in on my early 20’s which was a long time ago! If you can search any YouTube videos on it you’ll see it’s a funny funny game lol the old school sex stimulation games gosh I’m old 😭😭😂🤣

My hubby got me into House Party, which is sexual AF, but he refused to have it on his Steam page anymore lol!

Avatar

Yeah but I guess it's just weird to me personally. I always did them as a kid because I wanted to feel like I was in a relationship, sexual stuff, etc... now that I really have that connection, it feels weird to me personally to try and seek that anywhere else. Cos yeah, I guess for me, I did it to fulfill an empty space I had. Now that I have the space filled, I don't need to do that.

Definitely really depends. We’re not playing yaoi hentai dating sims lmfao but we eat the fuck up out of stardew valley!!! (Trying to marry each other in game though 😩) I was sad I couldn’t rizz the wizard so I was like yk what I guess you’ll have to

Avatar

I literally create sims and have sex with them. My partner doesn’t care. It’s a game we are both away of that.

Avatar

I have never thought about it 😂!!! I think if the thing he is dating is an NPC and its for the storyline, then whatever. I play World of Warcraft, so there's real people behind the screens and if I found out my husband was dating a person on WoW, I'd be pissed.

Avatar

Personally I think it would be a little weird, the only exception I think is if it's like one those scary ones or like you said for the story/laughs. I played one called doki doki, it starts as a typical dating simulator but then gets really dark and creepy lol

Avatar

I mean. I play Sims. Lots of sex happening 😂

Avatar

I love otome games 😭 I only read the ones with decent stories tho because otherwise theyre a waste of time lol I mostly read interactive visual novels. I can recommend some 👀

Avatar

Not quite the same, but I’m into role play gaming with a group of online people (some of whom I’ve now met in real life and would consider to be friends) and we will RP romantic relationships. My husband finds it funny and geeky, he would never consider that cheating and I’d have serious issues if he ever brought it up as a problem.

Lost friends since being a mum

Good morning! Can anyone relate to this!

My two friends and me have always been close since our early teens. I’m the first to have a baby.

One friend has big house, career and boyfriend

Other out of a long term relationship and being single having fun etc

Before baby we would all hang at my
Apartment, chat eat and just have
Fun.

Now I don’t even get a text to ask how my baby is, how I am. I really thought they would be awesome aunties. But honestly they don’t care.

They meet up a lot to do cool things, which I can’t be upset about as I can’t as I have my baby.

I don’t know I feel sad about it.

Am I over reacting?

Advice

Ok so I had this friend and she would always talk about how it was so embarrassing to post your face on tinder or any kind of dating/friendship platform because it makes you look desperate. This has stuck with me soo much over the years, I always post anonymously. I really want a friend just 1 friend that I can go out n do stuff with and we just click but I refuse to post my face on any friendship platform, also because I might see someone I know and I literally HATE the idea of that. I feel so stuck, because I’m not the type of person to go out a lot I go to work and come home and when I do go out to parks and stuff there’s literally never any moms that try to strike up conversation. I really wanna get on bumble bff to try it out but it makes it to where you have to post your face. PLEASEEE any advice would help. I get bumble bff go through the people and then I delete it within like 5 minutes because I see someone I know.
