No one ever said marriage was easy, but it seems like it's gotten even more difficult in the Internet age. Especially for people who like to play online role playing games (RPGs) ... You know, like World of Warcraft or even SIMS. Turns out spending a significant portion of your free time in a fictional online world isn't exactly doing your relationship any wonders ... drrr.
A study from Brigham Young University found that 75 percent of spouses married to people who play role-playing games online wish that their gaming guru sweeties spent less time playing and more time working on the relationship. BUT -- in couples where both spouses were gaming nerds into RPGs, 76 percent thought that gaming had a positive effect for their marriage. Well, yeah!
This isn't only true for partners who play online or regular video games. It extends to all manner of gadgets, web habits, and cellphones.

Pssst ... Did you hear that exes Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush were spotted out and about -- together? Yeah, they were BRUNCHING, people. That is big. Could totally mean there's a reunion on its way (regardless of recent goss that Reggie doesn't want back in the Kardashian Machine). The former couple in question is keeping mum for now, but Kim's sis
There comes a time in almost everyone's life when you have to make a choice between your career and your personal life. It's never easy -- there are pros and cons for each route, and sacrifices to be suffered and rewards to be reaped no matter which path is chosen.
Kissing may be one of the most wonderful ways of expressing love, affection, and happiness. Depending on who you're kissing, there are tons of different ways to do it -- you kiss your kids much differently than you kiss your spouse.
Hey you attached ladies. Right now, as you wrap up for the day at work and/or put the kids down for a nap and/or return from picking them up from school, your DH/SO/BF is likely out there at the mall/candy store/drugstore/
Listen up, guys. President Obama delivered a very important public service announcement that you all need to hear. Doesn't matter if you're a liberal, conservative, or libertarian, this message applies to everyone: Don't forget Valentine's Day, and GO BIG.
Not sure if you've heard, but it's Valentine's Day, and yay, aren't we all so excited about it. Woo. I suppose there are some people out there who love the holiday, who cherish the red and pink color scheme, and who will feed their lovah oysters and strawberries tonight on hearth's edge. And I'm sure they're the same kind of people who would wear these Touchable t-shirts.
Valentine's Day is encroaching and there's nothing we can do to stop it. Every year it pops up here in the middle of February, and every year we either clamour for dinner reservations with our lover boys or drink to our single heart's content alone on the couch. I mean, that's what everyone says you do, but really, why would I sit on the couch when lying in bed with my Merlot is so much more comfy and cozy. Please.
For the broken-hearted, Valentine's Day is a horror show. It's a day when you just want to call in sick, pull the covers over your head, and rock back and forth humming to yourself until it all goes away. And it will -- in 24 hours! But still, who is looking out for these poor souls? Where is their refuge on this most painful day of the year?
