How much interest does she show?

My boyfriend and I don't share much interest in the same types of games. He plays exclusively on consoles, and plays racing/sports titles, whereas I play exclusively on PC and enjoy stuff like CRPG's, MOBA's, simulation games, strategy games and so on.

It's rare that we'll play together. Every now and then we'll play Gran Turismo (whichever is the latest one) and I'll pick the car I actually drive in real life (because why not?) and he'll pick some kind of crazy-ass supercar and whiz around at a billion miles per hour. Not exactly "competition", but at least we're doing it together, and it strokes his ego.

My wife is not a gamer past Tetris. She knew from early days that I am a gamer and a lot of my time is spent gaming. She supports it though, and even buys me games from time to time. We have the type of relationship where she can tell me "Hey, you spend too much time gaming, I need some attention too" and it never brews until it explodes.

I have tried to get her into gaming, but she just does not have any interest. We play Little Big Planet together, but as soon as some of the levels get a bit trickier she gets frustrated and gives up. She has watched us play a lot of games, especially Left 4 Dead in the old days, and even knows exactly what button to push and where to go, but never played a single second of it. She is just THAT awesome!
