I've been playing the new Mario Party with my little nephew lately. I don't go out of my way to antagonize him, but I also give no quarter when the minigames roll around. I think it's helping him be a better loser. He celebrates me winning almost as much as we celebrate his wins. (Though he does like to celebrate "You didn't win!" at me sometimes, which is kind of hilarious.)
I never go easy on my fiancé in games. But then she knows and can be proud when she does win. We played the new Mario Party as well. I won literally twice as many coins in the minigames and finished with 170 coins. She won with 4 more stars than me because of good luck with star placement, stealing from me with boo, and bonus stars.
Luckily, Mario Party is not all about the minigames.
While I'm sure video games aren't relevant to this point, I would suggest and hope you know not to let that attitude bleed over into more important things. Always maintain the impression that you're way better than her in just about everything and anything she appears to be better at in the moment is just you toying with her. Again, not talking about video games exactly, but in general. The second a woman begins to suspect she's on your level or above it in any real way, the attraction starts to dry up and the "is he really the best I can get?" thoughts start percolating. Never allow her to think for a moment she's anything but the reacher and you're the settler. As soon as she thinks she's settled for you, you're on the way out while she looks for a higher branch. And no, marriage vows will do absolutely nothing to prevent this.
You don't need to worry about us. We're in a very traditional relationship.
