I have been seeing a guy for over a month now. I'm not sure yet if he is addicted to playing video games, i know he is recently divorced and partly because he didn't help around the house. Also during this Christmas break he is off work and stays up late playing video games. He tells me it keeps his mind busy and keeps him from spending money on car parts for his performance sports car. Should I be worried?
Hi Ocean,
Ask him to read and finish several books and NOT turn the video game on during that period.
Odds are he is addicted. He's making excuses to you already. A more appropriate response would have been something like "I'll turn it off. What would you like to do?"
Think about it!
