Boys and computer games.
i am severely miffed off tonight with my lad, because he is obsessed with Medal of Honour. nothing seems to stand in the way of him getting his nightly fix. it really annoys me normally, but tonight is *extra special*;
i was round his earlier tonight, and then after about an hour he told me that i had to go because he has work to do for tomorrow (he works at this weird teaching place on a saturday) i thought, ok fair enough.. he has work, so i will leave him to it.
anyway, i got home, and came on the internet, and i go on 'the all seeing eye' which is a program which enables you to see all of the medal of honour servers... and who should i find on there, but my illustrious boyfriend. that really REALLY annoyed me.. he told me he had work.
he does this alot. also, some evenings i just want to chat to him, as you do with your boyfriend, for an hour or so on msn, but it's always 'sorry, i have a match' or 'sorry, i told one of my clan mates i would play tonight'.
i also think it's kind of sad that these games have to have 'clans' and they have to pit themselves against one another to be able to prove that they are 'elite' and better than all the rest.
anyway, it really bugs me, and not only did i want to complain, but i wanted to know if any of the other girlies here go through the same thing.. and if so, how the hell they cope with it.
normally i end up getting quite angry and he gets angry at me being angry because he thinks i am trying to control him, but all i want is a little time to talk to him. it's like this game is some sort of obsession. bah.

Seems to me hes 1 of them really addicted obsessed online gamers, i mean i do luv playing computer games but i dont play them 24/7 and i for sure wouldn't turn down a girls company for a game,
The games can wait surely anyway, if hes playing them so much that you never get time to talk to him etc, then i think you should say something.

yah..my ex was an addict to CS...drove me nuts - he'd ignore me when i came round cos he was playing on it - or i'd wake up to find him sat there playing.
my bf at the mo upset me the other night - was our 1 yr anniversary - we werent going out and he didnt get me anything - i went round and he played on football manager for a while before he even talked to me!

Well if he was into the game before he got with you, it's part of his life then, and it's up to you to work around it. Should not get into a relationship with someone and expect them to change their regular life for you. I don't expect my girlfriend to stop her daily badminton matches just for me.

just be straight with him, and say that it's pissing you off next time he does it! you may not want him to think you're being controlling, but you will feel better getting it out!
i have said something but he doesn't care.. he thinks i am trying to control him.
and i would have sat with him while he played, but his 'clan mates' don't like it because in the past i have gone over, and again, he has just all of a sudden said 'oh theres a match' and i refused to leave, therefore he told them it is all my fault that he can't play, then they got mad, and i'm sure they just bitch about me all the time. it's just that tonight he told me he had work to do, and obviously he was lying so he could just play his dumb ass game.
and i mean, once, they had this 'lan' party thing, where the would be playing this dumb game for like 6 hours, and my lad told me that he would see me after they were done.. (started at 11, was suppose to finish at 5).. but instead, they started 3 hours late because of 'mouse' problems, and they were going bowling afterwards so he refused to see me at all.. which was annoying because i did nothing all day waiting for him. he said it was because some of the 'clan' had come from 'far away'.. i mean, oh noes! he spends most of his time online with them anyway.. plus they are all like 40 year olds... it's very sad.

Hmmm... I'm often into games... but still, girls are better!
That guy is pretty strange, but maybe he just enjoys games more than I do.

thing is, when we first started going out, he didn't play it for months and months, then all of a sudden, like 6 or 7 months in, he decided to start it up again..
I love Medal of Honour. You should be his sidekick and tell him where the shots are coming from and read the map and stuff. I could do that for hours and used to moan when he said we had to stop cause he was aching
"NOOOO we have to get through this mission!!"I think it gets a bit more complicated when it goes online and you have clans and stuff. He has to realise that they aren't as important as real, in-the-flesh relaitonships!

Come on shes hardly being obsessive, im sure you wouldnt like it if you had a bf and he totally blanked you half the time over a computer game or a pint with the lads.
Computer game then I'd completely understand. Too many pints with the lads would lead to a dumping (more because he wouldn't be right for me than anything else). Maybe you should find someone who is right for you, and I'll have your boyfriend, Pumpkin.

Tell him I'll go out with him if he dumps you. I'll even play Medal of Honour with him. May even kick his ass.
you can get lost you hussy.
i play sometimes, but he usually gets bored because i'm crap.. and because he is in a server, his clan mates join, so i am forced to leave anyway.

i have an identical situation to you! in so pleased to find im not bein a complete cow! the only difference is that me and bf have split up - this deffo played a part in the downfall.
my ex was never 24/7 but its still a really big commitment - and if they weren't MMORPG it would be sound but arranging things with a whole other group of blokes at awkwards hours because of time differences is difficult to balance with a gf, friends, school, work, a family life, driving.
You poor thing - you have my sympathy.

He should dump you and find a girl who's less annoying and possessive.
i don't think she is being possessive whatsoever. what she is asking for is perfectly normal- attention from her boyfriend!

Me? A hussy? Hell, I'm just trying to steal your boyfriend!

By the way, if you see a future with this lad, don't call his computer games stupid. Seriously, I can understand why you'd get hacked off with him, but respect the time he wants to himself and never deride the way he spends his leisure time.

So if everytime you went to see your bf he was like
"Sorry got no time to talk right now im busy playing online and then i got work to do"
If he did that everytime you went to see him you saying you wouldn't care lol???
