Me and my fiancee both love playing ARMS and Smash, and once in a while we hop online, especially for the monthly party-crash in ARMS.

Unfortunately, she's not really good enough to be at any competitive level, and it makes it difficult to win against others when we're playing on the same team. It's frustrating for me since I'm really competitive myself, but I never say anything outside of giving her helpful pointers, since I don't want her to feel bad.

Anyone ever deal with this situation? Is there any way out of it? Or is it one of the things you just sign up for when getting married and have to endure because you love the other.

I used to go to Yugioh tournaments when I was 16. There would often be 30 year old men who brought their girlfriends/wives to them and they would just sit in the corner bored out of their minds constantly asking if they can go home yet lol.

That's basically what I do, generally. Like I said, I offer helpful/friendly tips about the game, but nothing more than that.

Mostly was wondering if anyone's ever dealt with this themselves and could offer some sort of advice like, idk, a cool training montage or something.

I have no gf currently, but it should be no big deal.

Just don't blame games that mean anything to you personally.

It's kinda like how I play Dota 2 for comp, and League for pure fun.
If you can find a game that you never take serious, then there's no issue with major suckage.

also mods please warn

I remember playing Monster Hunter with a random chick once.

It was actually awful, cuz she couldnt even hunt a Rathian.

It wasn't competitive, but shit like that isn't fun at all. So yeah, I can see that TC has point.

also mods please warn
