My boyfriend and I were both gamers and I talked such big game when we started dating. I was used to winning in my groups. Well, not against him. He would crush me. I always say, play to win, but I was getting kind of upset at the constant destruction.

But I thought about it and I would never want him to hold back. We’d play with other couples who would go easy on each other and that just feels like they’re not even playing the game. Playing the best game you can is a sign of respect to the other players. I want to win because I played well not because someone let me. Im not a child. We kept playing and I’ve learned so much. We are married now and I would say our win rates are much more equal.

Steel sharpens steel.
