Sit down with him and tell him how it makes you feel. Tell him that you want to work something out that you can both be happy with. Try and get him to see things from your point of view. If that doesn't work because he isn't willing to compromise or can't see things your way at all, give him the ultimatum; it's the games or you - his choice.

If he choses the games, well... you will be hurt of course, but try to be strong and you will be better off in the long run no matter what happens after that. Good luck!

my advise is to sit down, take a beer and talk about it. Try like Levin say to make him see it from your point of view. Dont expect him to quit gaming totaly but let him play a limited number of hours. Its his hobby and a 2 partners in a relationship must accept each others hobbies but a hobby shouldnt consume 10 hours a day. If he refuse to stop or reduce his playing time then you can either accept it or leave him. If it realy bothers you then you should leave him.

you can tell from some of the answers in here that some of the men have never had a real girlfriend :p

its wrong that he spends all his time playing a computer game and essentially ignores you, tell him how you feel and if he doesn't want to try and do something about it bin him, simple as.

i get the feeling you are talking about a certain warlock too? :p

Hardly.

Just because they post funny/witty/typical men-views don't mean they have never had a gf irl...

The all important question is, does your boyfriend play DAOC and or post on these forums!

That would be majorly pwned! Name and shame come on love...

I fail to see the intense seriousness of this thread mrs.poor gf.

Sorry :(

i agree, thinking its a fake - only way she'd learn about this forum is she was a gamer herself or if he browses off-topic daily and telling her about it.

give guesses of who it could be? Pip? Gamah? vlad? bugz? anybody!

On a slightly more serious note what's the alternative your offering him to the game.

If the problem is your not going out or doing stuff together then it's a problem. If he's wanting to play the game instead of simply sitting about on the sofa with you watching telly then you need to find something you can both enjoy doing together. Too many people are inclined to simply say he's a moron for choosing the game over you, without actually finding out what your offering. If you want to do stuff together why not ask if you can start playing?

Relationships can be better than simply playing games, that's sort of obvious. But it doesn't mean any old relationship will be. Simply saying RL > DAoC is slightly distorted from the truth since DAoC is a lesure activity in RL much the same as pissing off down the pub or watching telly. It's only an issue when it becomes an addiction, much like anything else in life.

i'm not that type of gf that want to watch telly whit a guy, I prefer rather cinema and action movies . And i started once to play but not DAOK, something else. Now I'm a bit bored about this game. The problem is that i want to go out together, or doing anything, but somthing together from time to time, even if it makes only me happy. If I can watch him gaming in the night when i want to sleep, why cant i to abide from him not to play so long but doing something whit me...


ps.
And I'm not hiding from him here and dont do nothing behind his back. i tould him that i posted here...

dont understand your reasoning for this part:"If I can watch him gaming in the night when i want to sleep, why cant i to abide from him not to play so long but doing something whit me..."

you can easily do something to gether but that there shouldnt be an argument for him to stop playing and doing stuff with you, you should be the argument for it.

if he wont stop playing just shoot him in the face with a sawn off shotgun.

you can then set fire to his body and throw the ashes out at sea while your sailing over to france on a booze cruise.

the perfect crime imo.

also post a picture of yourself, so that we can judge whether the games are worth what he's missing.......




(maybe that was abit harsh, i mean in a purely sexual arousing way.. or something..)

Its simple, withdraw sex until he lowers his playing hours. Reward spending time with you with pleasure. :D

If he plays as often as he posts on FH, you should chat to him and convince him to cut down, or join in with him, or find fun things you can do toghether that isn't infront of a computer.
