Boyfriends and their annoying video games

If I had a gf that sold my system and games,I'd take it as her giving me permission to knock her teeth out.

Glad i stumbled on this.

 

Guess its time i stop playign computer games and pay some more attention to my partner.

I love how when women ask this question guys think the appropriate response is "offer him sex" or "get over it" being in a relationship is a mutual thing. Girls shouldn't have to bribe their men with sex, or anything for that matter just so they will put down the controller and spend time with us that's BS.

My boyfriend plays on his video games and games with his friends from the time he gets home from work until midnight and then on the weekends he is on the video games gaming with his friends from the time he gets up til the time he goes to bed which sometimes last til 3am so pretty much from 9am to 3am the next day on weekends....... he never takes a break either. only runs to use the bathroom and thats it. I do all the cooking and bring him his food which it gets cold by the time he finally decides to eat it or remembers he has food sitting next to him. we don't spend any us time together..... i only recently moved in back in august its now march and his gaming habits are starting to get on my nerves. I'm annoyed by the fact that he gets mad at me for trying to talk to him when he is on mic gaming with his friends. when he is on mic with them he expects me to be quiet. He gets grumpy or irrtiable when I tell him his gaming habits are a problem and that we dont spend any time together. I get met with 'you're always pointing out my flaws why can't you tell me about anything i do right' sorry but I dont hand out gold stars everytime you do something right. i'd understand wanting to game with his buddies every now and then but its a whole nother story if you're pretty much living on the thing and ignoring someone who pretty much catters to you and lets you get away with a lot of c**p. Which honestly im putting a end to it completely. No one should ever be with someone that they try the hardest for and dont get back the same effort. I believe im not asking for too much let alone Im not naggy towards him. but i feel this relationship made a turning point from being his gf to being his mom/roommate. (mind you he and i have been dating for 3 years this may)

Hey. I'm having issues with my boyfriend being addicted to video games. Everytime he comes home from work or even on his day off he just goes straight to his seat and gets on his ps4. IDK how to deal with it. Advice? Please.

Thank you T

That is awesome

OMG my boyfriend is 18 and all he does is play his video games, when we on FaceTime he's on that, and even when we argue all I hear are the click noises . He plays it for hours and won't get off . I never had a gamer BF but this sucks bc it just gets so annoying . SO ANNOYING

Then why do you call him "boyfriend"?

Well, I have similar problems. my GF hates terrible my video games hubbies and she tells me that I am an addictive. The fact is that I don't play them as she states I do. Yes, I have my ps4 which I barely touch but I feel good to know the I have that peace of technology at hand. I just like to collect them or to have them and whenever I have time and not feeling like doing anything, then I'd like to play.

I was even thinking of retro collecting but I had to sell my ps3 and ps2 and other old games, because she was so crazy about it. And I mean collecting, not playing !!!!

I am the kind of guy who goes to pick her up everytime she needs something, I am there helping when she needs it, watch movies together, I even watch with her stupid shoes of Housewives of atlanta, orange county, potomac... you name it!!, I go with her to those boring meeting with her friends.

But when it comes, to have my ps4 or the fact that she knows that I may be playing something for a few minutes when I am alone, then I am a kid, immature, not a goal oriented guy and she says doesn't date kids. Yeah I am 30 years old and maybe a geek somehow hehe, but Can I have something that I can enjoy for myself?

I have an original Odyssey game you would love.

I feel sorry for that guy. Hope you'll find someone better. Good luck!

Thanks, I think that's gonna happen because we are walking on egg shells right now and the tension is high... of course, for other things but this one is adding up.
I just find it unreasonable to what she is asking for, and besides what the previous girls described about their boyfriends/husbands, I am nothing like that and I really understands their point of view.

I have a question for you girls: Why do you think your boyfriend prefers video games to you? How does it feel to be competing with pixels on a screen ... and losing??? It is the height of arrogance to assume that 100% of the problem belongs to the guys.

f**k all that video games saved my life I was a drug addict for ten yrs,My partner is understanding and has no problem with my gaming.Once I'd stopped getting high and got clean I went out and got a 360 that console saved my life.so what if I swapped one addiction for another me and my kids play video games every evening and we love it.I spend my weekends with my girl and kids and she loves me for it.
