How can I break my boyfriends addiction to video games?

Question

Lately that all he does. Any time he has any free time from colllege he is glued ot the screen shooting people or blowing something up. I have tried to take an interest in video games since he loves them so much but he just shuts me out most of the time. I just dont understand why he spends all of his money on new games and new gaming systems. Today is saturday and we usually go out on saturday nights but that wii thing is coming out so he is going to go stand in line at walmart all night long. He doesnt even want to be intimate with me anymore. Are video games really better then sex? Can anyone explain why people get so addicted or explain why he has to have every gaming the second it comes out. I want to be involved in all this crazyness but I need some help. I wasnt raised up around video games so I am totally in the dark. What is so great about them?

Answer 1

i think you need to slow down and give him some time. let him stay alone with his games. make him miss you. I'm sure the games will go away and he'll be the same guy.

Answer 2

hi i've got been with my lady chum allmost a three hundred and sixty 5 days now and have been the two sixteen, i'm addicted to gaming aswell on my xbox each and every of the time, yet without abit of rigidity from my lady chum and understanding that she is severe i will detach my self yet ill be hounest no longer for long, its a straightforward difficulty i've got allways been like this and that i garanty he will lose interest after a whilst, stop enjoying yet prefer to pass on back, my lady chum began enjoying call of accountability with me that's a stable thank you to maby interaxt with him. So bassically try twiddling with him and appropriate to the mum and dad difficulty can no longer you no longer pass out? try something he won't be like it continuously, stable success! My lady chum isn't leaving me, she is familiar with I play plenty and in spite of if interestingly like i'm putting my xbox over her I never would, and don't choose too!

are you dating my son? he ran me broke wanting a game every time we went by a store. he would get the game and play it about 3 days. he would declare himself the victor and put the $60 game on a shelf.
ask him what is so great about video games. likely, it is the same thing that is great about alcohol or drugs or gambling. it is addictive.

Answer 5

HA! Good luck with that! IF you don't like it now, just wait. You better get used to it, or get over him. I've been working on mine for 8 years now, and I just let it go now cause it's not worth the fight.

Answer 6

You can't change him. He may change in time or not. If you did pry him away, he would resent it and hate you for it. He has a choice between you and the game. He made his choice.

Let him go.

Find someone who has similar interests as you.
