I would like to say thank you for almost a good year on SteamGifts. I meet many new people, made new friends through SteamGifts.

It may well be many of you reading this do not know who I am, but as such is seen not known. However, I have an ongoing event in which I give a game away every day for a whole year. Here, for the time I've just been too busy to SteamGifts when I shall be a father here about three months, at the same time moved in the apartment with my girlfriend so are not entitled to time giving out and there is much to be planned.

My girlfriend is not very super fan of gaming, so it's also why I do not get to spend as much time on the computer anymore and will have to leave SteamGifts, but who knows maybe I will come back one day?

Gaming is fun but things IRL is part importantly I would say. I'm really in love with my girlfriend, so has considered to propose to her, and if I take me along to it then there is not such thing as gaming more but is willing to drop gaming for her.

Once back to the reason I'm doing this post. The reason I'm doing this post is because I said, I have an event in time, but when I leave SteamGifts must of course not be cheated for the last giveaways. So my plan is to speed run the last giveaways.

Hope you are okay with this guys.

You can find the giveaways here then I have time to post them:

I think you should`nt have to quit something you love as a hobby because someone else is not into it. I think you are making a sacrifice, but still..

Anyway, i thank you very much by heart and hope the best for you with your life!

None of my business but if you need to drop something you love because of your SO....that's not a good sign.

I don't want to rain on your parade, but I have to add myself to the list of people here who think giving up a hobby is a pretty bad start to a long-term committed relationship. From your post it sounds like the marriage - not the baby - is the reason, which means you'd be making an unnecessary sacrifice just because the other person doesn't approve of / isn't interested in what you're passionate about. It's not healthy to let a relationship consume your life like that, it's important for both partners to accept the other's interests and allow each other the free time to pursue them. Otherwise you'll grow resentful over time.

Completely agree, if you give up part of who you are, like a favorite hobby, for a partner you eventually regret it and start to hate yourself, life, and the person that made you give it up, however indirect their influence might have been.
If it's just a matter of you don't have enough time to pursue your favorite past times because of lifes events but you fully intend to go back to it when things calm down that's one thing, but never give up who you are for someone else, it will make you miserable. I speak from experience here.

Otherwise hope all goes well for you Witte, marriage and babies are big changes in anyones life, just take things slow and steady and try to keep stress at a minimum. Good luck

It's all about balance, brother. I've been married 21 years, and my wife isn't into gaming...and I still game, game with my kids, etc. Just be sure that you're always accepted for who you are, not what someone else wants you to be.

Personally, I will never stop gaming. Never. I will be an awesomely old man gamer some day. lol (Gaming is what got me into a career in IT, and so has shaped a lot of my life.)

Best of luck, in any case, and congrats on becoming a father in the near future!

Good luck with everything.

I have to agree with others, don't drop gaming completely, unless it's a low priority hobby. There will always be times when you and your girlfriend (/ wife) aren't doing something together and you could spend some of that on gaming.

Not that it's terrible, I dropped several hobbies since I got married (due to lack of time), but if you really enjoy gaming, don't drop it completely.
