Neither of my wives did. In fact I think they both resented me spending time on 'stupid games'.
The thing was,especially with my second wife,I invested a lot of my time and effort into joining in with her hobbies,especially her horses which was time consuming. And yet she never showed ANY interest in my hobbies.
I watch quite a few ladies play games on Twitch. They typically don't use foul language like the guys and yet they play as well and in most cases better than the men.
I follow Femennenly who is a WoWs player and she was the best CV player in NA at one point,not sure now since that awful CV re-work.

My wife plays games. Mostly she just plays console RPGs and her phone games but sometimes she plays PC games. She also plays borderlands and she played the original red dead redemption. She is very tolerant of my gaming. When we were dating I spend a ton of time doing things with her but I used to tell her that once we are married and living together gaming is probably going to be a source of contention because I game a lot. She just laughed and said something like, no im sure i'll be ok with it. You cant game THAT much. It's been a source of contention. Recently we got into a fright because we went out of town to watch a hockey game and she wanted to get a hotel and spend the night ($$$)... I wanted to drive back so I could get my rdr2 daily done! We ended up driving back and I got my daily in at 11:55pm !!! The next day we had a fight For the most part though she is completely fine with it. I dont watch tv much unless I just want to spend time with her and then we watch whatever junk tv show she is watching (mostly nature docs or ancient aliens). I do spend a lot of time doing her hobbies or things I would never do myself but she wants to do. I think it's kind of one way as she doesnt do a lot of my hobbies but it works for us and we still spend a lot of time together doing things (which is the most important thing) We have our 10 year anniversary this year. She wanted to do a week long cruise ($$$$$) (she loves to travel and I hate to travel) but I convinced her to do 10 weekend trips this year instead with one of them being fairly big. My idea of a good anniversary is buying a new racing wheel and spending a weekend breaking it in!... she just wants to go somewhere. It's going to be a long year.

There were quite a number of female contributors here and CombatSim before the exodus, but have drifted away due to pernicious misogyny in many cases. One such wanted to join my old Squadron but was worried about attitude towards her....'don't worry your pretty little head about it luv " was my response Haven't seen a post from Ms Lil'Jugs for a while...I'm sure she did play though Panzer!

Whoa, Lil'jugs is a woman? I mean in hindsight it makes sense I guess. LOL Yup. As far as I know she is the most recent female member of SimHQ to post on the site.
