My boyfriend of 6 months just ditched me for his Xbox 360. It's just stopped working, so he's taking it back to the shop.
But he said he'd come bike-shopping with me. It's the second time we were supposed to go, last time he was too tired (he says he didn't sleep very well, but I think he was up late playing on the 360) and I went mad at him, I was SO angry.
This time, all I can do is cry.
I mean, I know I'm not necessarily his number one priority, I'm not insecure enough that I feel I should be. But surely I should come higher up than a games console?

ranselbiru... i know EXACTLY what you mean...!
ceresangels... I'm sorry hun, by ditched, I meant stood up, like, he went out to sort the xbox out, rather than coming shopping with me. Not that he dumped me! Sorry if my wording was a little confusing!

It has nothing to do with the Xbox 360, and everything to do with his word. He's not true to his word, and therefore not worth your time.

I'm 33 and have just realized that there is very little that can come between a man and his video games. It's just in their genes. There is very little we can do. Either accept it or find a guy that hates games. I don't think there are many that hate them.
My 7 year old is on the same path. I actually took his games away for a month just so he would have to go out and play. I never played video games. His dad loves them. But he hasn't seen his dad in 5 years. It must be in the male genes.
My boyfriend stays up late playing games too. He has to buy a new game every week. Those things are expensive. I've gotten to the point where I tell him about it. If he don't stop playing the games I'm going home. He always stops.
You've only been with him for 6 months. If you decide to stay with him, it won't get any better. But good luck finding a guy that doesn't play video games.

I 'assume' you are of the younger populace (I'm 55). I can only say that if "I" felt that a game was being placed in a higher priority than my needs...I would find a new boyfriend.
Life is too short to waste on someone that would rather play around with techno gadgets than interact with 'real' individuals. :-)

I'm guessing he was pissed over his Xbox and you are his 'victim'..... gadgets and GF is two different thing....
He had act immature by ditching you because of his gadgets failure.... and you already noticed that he's game freak... play his Xbox all night long.... person who addict over games... will experience sleepind disturbance.. yadda..yadda...
What you can do is ignore him... do things that you love to do... Getting confuse, cry, confuse over boy that has no sensitivity to women like you.... i think you had wasted time on him.... since you tell that the boy had ditch you.... You're free now.... don't care about him anymore... love yourself more !!!!

there are many of us guys who have found new love with our games and controller I would wait until he has finished with the current one he is playing it's only because its new and he needs to play it. Tell him to set aside some time for you and your needs. The Game will take over for a long time you could buy a game you want to play and then play it your self then you will be taking an interest in him and you can take over all the time he has to spend with it.

It sounds like he is not ready for a serious relationship. I think the two of you need to sit down and talk. Tell him how you are feeling and that he needs to decide which is more important...you or his games. Tell him you are not asking him to stop playing Xbox but that you need to come first.

He's not mature enough to have a girlfriend.. Find someone that is, and that doesn't put their XBOX 360 before you. That's just immature. Don't waste your time on him!
