The best first step is to stop treating it like it's some sort of big secret you need to keep.
It's just a thing.
It's a game.
Would you/do you hide your X-Box/PS3/Whatever from her?
If you're embarassed or ashamed of it, your S/O will get that vibe from you and may react accordingly.

If you just act like its no big deal then they will act like its no big deal.
Or they may react negatively. If they do and you're not being obsessive compulsive at the time then you saved yourself some trouble down the road.

To the OP, I suppose it depends. I've never hidden my hobbies, and in college at least I did fairly well with the ladies. These days, it hardly comes up, possibly because I don't meet that many new people, but if it did I certainly wouldn't hide it. That sorta makes it look even MORE wierd.
My last girlfriend thought we all dressed up as elves and gak when we played D'n'D, she only told me this 6 months in . When I explained what we actually did, (eat pizza, shout out numbers and pretend to be somebody else) I'm not sure if she was disappointed or not

At least she didn't think it was a Satanic cult, like this poster's mother did. One flip through the Daemonhunters Codex and I was forbidden from playing until dad got back from Afghanistan.

I decided to "break the news" straight away to my first gf. She didn't mind: she was used to dressing up in Stormtrooper armour and she had even played Fire Warrior, so she thought the whole Wargaming thing was "kinda cool".
To the OP: You should just be honest with what you like to do. If she tries to wean you off it then she isn't the girl for you as she is not happy with your choice of hobbies.

The uneasiness amuses the collective...but,"we" still question that comma.

I saw a dildo in Amsterdam that was just a big rubber fist.
Ouchy!
In other news: this thread is now about dildos.

Your post has a comma AND a colon. Does that make it worse than just the comma?

Anuvver fing - when they do sumfing, they try to make it look like somfink else to confuse everybody. When one of them wants to lord it over the uvvers, 'e says "I'm very speshul so'z you gotta worship me", or "I know summink wot you lot don't know, so yer better lissen good". Da funny fing is, arf of 'em believe it and da over arf don't, so 'e 'as to hit 'em all anyway or run fer it.
