My boyfriend and I love to play Texas Hold 'Em, Life, Guesstures, Outburst, Taboo, ETC. However, we usually only get to play when his roomates are available, cause face it, only two people playing sucks. However, one of his roomates (we'll call him Bob) finds an argument about everything. The ice is too cold. My boyfriend is betting to high. My boyfriend isn't betting high enough. I'm betting erratic. I'm bluffing. My boyfriend got lucky and got the $100,000 salary in life. Soccer sucks (I'm keeping up with the World Cup). Every football team but Michigan sucks (We all go to UF) The Cowboys suck (cause my boyfriend likes them) He literally picks an argument for everything. My boyfriends other roomate (lets call him Ralph) is Bob's favorite arguing partner. Ralph and his girlfriend by themselves are great, but when Bob comes in, its horrible. Even when if we all go out to eat, we have to sit there and ignore Ralph and Bob screaming at each other in a restaurant. What is wrong with them?

My boyfriend and I always sit ther and be quiet. It is very frustrating to us to try to play and listen to three peopel scream at each other. He is a very angry individual and a lot of the time does his best to screw everyone else over and make everyone around him miserable. He's also the size of a blue whale.

Oh, and we have stopped playing with them. My boyfriend practically lives with me because we hate it over there. It sucks because now we have no one who wants to play with us :( I sound like a little kid lol

It takes two to argue, and I've found the best way to deal with a chronic arguer is to ignore their comments. Assuming that Ralph doesn't like to argue with Bob and just gets caught up in it, I would talk with Ralph and see if he would agree to just ignore the "bait" that Bob might be throwing down to get him into an argument (probably won't be easy to do that). Or maybe the group should just get together and tell Bob and Ralph exactly what you all think of their constant bickering. Hopefully they'll stop.

Refuse to acknowledge Bob's comments and refuse to argue with him. This is a bid for attention. If he doesn't get the desired attention, the argueing won't be so much fun. Don't go out with either jerk anywhere public (Bob and/or Ralph). Find other places to be and do things as a couple that do not involve them. They will get the picture soon enough, I hope. You cannot feel better about the situation by sinking to their level and participating.
Good luck!

It sound like they are two stubborn people, So you and your boyfriend need to take some time and chill alone instead of with them all the time and you two should be ok. But if you keep hanging around this type of stuff then naturally it will began to kill your relationship cause wants to be around people that argue all the time take a breather and go some place and chill you and him.

I strongly suggest trying to find new game partners. Maybe some friends of yours or invite Ralph and his girl over to your house and leave out the angry room mate.

many people feel as though they have to argue because they look at it as a competition. Some people are also very insecure about themselves and by arguing with people they feel as though they have won and it is an ego boost. Be careful of the habits that you can pick up from people like them....

they are jealous of you two and are only there to destroy your relationship. guys that like to hang out with other guys have problems whether they admit to it or not.
the reason i know is because i was like them. Now I won't be spending any time with couples just to have some company.
it sucks being lonely and it sucks even more when you are still lonely even when you are around others.
