He's always on his xbox?

I bought my boyfriend an Xbox for his late birthday present in June. Ever since I got it, he hasn't stopped playing it. Maybe if I walked in front of the TV in lingerie, he'd look away, but he literally spends hours a day on it. Should I be worried? Is this normal? What should I do?

    I'm definitely like that whenever I get a new game I really like. I've also played more that four hours a day of some games. But after a while I got burnt out on it, or I finish the game, or whatever.

    If he's like, ditching you for his xbox, be worried. But if he's just playing it a lot, don't worry about it. You're his gf, you don't have to be his mom. (:

    LOL @ all these whiney bitches complaining about their boyfriends.
    Here's a news flash honeys. You expect him to do the shit you like. Chick flicks, nice dinners, romantic shit. That's all for you. But you can't even give him time to be a guy? Seriously? No wonder he's playing 24/7. He probably can't stand to be around your stupid asses.

    Here's a tip. Stop whining. Pick up a controller and play with him. I play games with my boyfriend every day. It's fun, time together and playful competitiveness. And when I'm done he'll usually put the controller down too and looks to me for other kinds of fun if you know what I mean.

  • You should have a talk with him... It's a good idea to let him play it but ALL THE TIME? NO!

    I know some people who learned that the hard way.

    U should not have bought that for him!!!! He shouldn't be that obsessed with it. At least it's not the computer. That's even worse! I feel bad for u! U deserve a boyfriend that spends time with u n gives u attention!

    Maybe... If you said "Lets do something" Instead of letting him play the xbox all day... Maybe than he will stop playing and pay attention to you ;P

    Its normal sadly but normal doesn't mean it should be the standard.

    My boyfriend plays those fps games i think there called. i forget what that means but anyway, if i'm craving his attention all i have to do is flash him and he's off in like 5-10 minutes...most of the time.

    My husband does that too. I can talk to him all day long and never get a response from him if he's on his 360. I've just gotten used to it cause it doesn't ever stop. Lol

    verry normal. once he gets tired of those games he will by more, get bored, buy more, get bored. if its just a plain old xbox and not a 360 then ya he will get tired of it sooner or later.

  • Don't worry it's the honeymoon phase. If you have a facebook account you most likely know how that is. For a while you're on it all the time, but eventually it starts to wear off. And as long as you didnt get him the new 360, itll get the red rings soon enough. It happened to me... :'(

    I'm married and during the summer when Im not in school I probably spend at least four hours a day on my game system. On the weekends even more. Give him some time. He just got the system a few months ago. It will probably get better fairly soon.

  • First of all, xbox's suck ass.

    Secondly, of course he is going to play it alot, it's a new toy. You would be the same way if you got a new computer or iPod touch. Give him time he will get tired of always playing on it. That is, if he is mature in any way.

    i left my boyfriend of 7 years for this exact reason! Sort it out with him now and put your foot down cos it will only get worse! I used to walk in from work and my ex wouldnt even notice half the time cos he was too wrapped up in his x-box!!!It got to a point where we were living separate lives-him downstairs on the xbox and me upstairs on the pc!! Enough was enough, it eventually dragged me down so so much and i realised i deserved more than that, so i left! Im now happily married and have a beautiful little girl with my new partner (now of 3 years) and life couldnt be better! I was getting nowhere in life with my ex and im afaid my dear-neither will you! Tell him to sort himself out now or go get what you really deserve-happiness! :) xx
