Seriously annoyed with my boyfriend

CalculusMan

Did you tell him that you wanted to do something special as he had the day off? Did you try and get him to do anything else apart from play computer games? I would have kicked up a fuss the second he started.

its his day off from work!

Well thats a bit harsh, he has all the time in the world to play video games yet he decided to do that when you visit him, tell him your not happy about that. Because if you don't he will do it again thinking your a walk over.

I did say i wanted to do something, so we went to the cinema. But we got back to his and we started watching a programme and he just fell asleep. He's playing some game with his flatmate now. I agree he can play whenever i'm not here and i think i'm going to say something to him about it.

Well if he was so keen to see you he wouldn't be playing video games, i think he is not appreciating you much there, definiatly say something.

don't kick off at him, just say I would rather do something else than watch you play video games as I don't get to see you often, it probably hasn't even registered in his brain that your pissed off about him playing em

This is the problem, he tells me he loves me all the time, gives me hugs kisses, we go out when we can, all the things you would expect from a boyfriend really, it's just his love for f****** computer games is too much i feel. I have said things in the past and he's apologised, but just goes back to doing it.

could be worse, could be drink or drugs and I think most lads have an inbuilt desire to play computer games, I know I do :biggrin:

although I guess if its literally an obsession then its a cause for concern

Sometimes he'll take the odd break to quickly glance at me, then it's back to the computer. Surely though if you had a girlfriend you'd want to spend the majority of the time she was there with her? I'm not totally opposed to him playing games, i'm quite happy i'd rather he did that then drugs or find other girls. Just sometimes he plays them at the most inappropriate times.

It's his day off work, maybe he doesn't get to play computer games at any other time, give him a break!

if you only have the one day together every now and again then in that case I would agree that its out of order to be playing games, I just thought you were being a nagging girlfriend at first as I know what girls are like about lads playing games

My boyfriend runs a pub and its long, hard hours and he only has a small amount of time to do the things he likes and see people so I've accepted I cant monoplise his day. Sometimes you do just wnat to chill out and play on the computer etc and be on your own. I would give him a break. Speak up but not kick off.

Erm, pounce?

My boyfriend is exactly the same, annoyingly obsessed with computer games, if he ever has a spare minute he'll be playing on one, till stupid hours of the morning usually. I do find it annoying, but then again i'd rather he did that than other stuff like said above. I also talked about it with my boyfriend, and he said he'd try to play less, but that hasn't happened yet..

You should just ask him what means more to him, you, or the stupid bloody game.

Ooo, sounds like the perfect start to an argument.
