I hate when my boyfriend plays x box

Wait... He gave everything up for you and you want him to give up his hobby too? Did you tell him you were grateful for what he did, that you love him and that you want to spend time with him? I'd try that ^^

I can relate as well!

I'm usually stuck on the can

I can relate. My boyfriend and I have been together almost 4 years now. Used to be that video games were just a mild annoyance--I guess because we were not living together yet. Now we share a 700 sf one bedroom apartment and starting at 7:00 a.m. on weekdays and all day on weekends it's all "KH-KH-KH-KH-KH-KH BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!" on his big stupid TV and I just want to punch him in his stupid face.

chosing a game over a girl? i would much rather spend time with a girl because its something real someone you can love and an xbox its just system that gives you entertainment thats all

If u don't like it, give him something to do that's more fun. Otherwise, you're just beefing on him cuz u don't have anything better to do. If all ur gonna do if nag, id lose myself in an xbox too.

Try getting naked next time he gets on the xbox... then repost lol

A) Play video games with him, buy a controller, practice and up yo' game girl! But dont get so good you beat him a man always has to win, its being a man. In a world of winners there are always losers, if he wins at something it means hes not a loser in your eyes. Dont go there.

B) Do something more active, jogging etc. not watching soaps and tv as most girls love to do.

C) Take an active intrest in it yourself, it seems to be his hobby, you have your make-up or books (dont know you kind of swinging sterotypically for a hobby of yours here.)Why should a hobby annoy you?

D)Take up some activities, Bowling, Swimming, Tennis etc.

Totally agree but also think its normal for u to want more attention from him. Have sex For 1 month every. Night and then u wont need that cause he will want to be wit u and then figure something that isnt sexual to do worked wit my cousin

I can relate well. When my bf plays xbox live, he also has the headset on so he doesn't even hear me, were also hanging out at this point, we don't live together, so I could seriously just go home, but he tells me not to :/ Also, he turns his headset off breifly here and there to say hi or w.e. but I can't tell when he's talking to me or his ! Frustrating >:O I love video games, I play them to, but he's obnoxious. He says stuff like "I need time to spend with my friends" I fucking hate it and honestly have better things to do, so I say your normal.

It's "normal" to be that addicted to a video game, but I would argue it isn't "right." It's one thing to have video games as a hobby, but if it's consuming his time to the point where he literally does NOTHING outside of it with you, then that's a problem.

Try talking to him about it, and explain how you feel. You can tell him that you're not asking him to stop entirely, nor do you need constant attention; you just want to feel like you and he can do things that don't involve sex or video games.

If you've tried this and he keeps doing it, I'd say try getting his attention some other way (maybe stop having sex with him? haha). If he still doesn't "get it," then maybe it's just not meant to be.

Skate is an amazing game series. :). Just thought I'd throw that one in there. Most games are quite simple once you get the hang of them, it takes practice. Have another go :)

hmm its totaly normal i persenolly don't have a GF but i think you should ask a friend to hide to xbox or its power supply from him a couple of weeks he'll get interested in other things cause his xbox aint there anymore.

so maybe you should get him to talk to you someway
and talk about the idea for hiding the xbox for a couple of weeks/monts./(xtreme rated) a year
i hope this helps

If you two "jst moved in together",
& he's away from "family & friends."
I think you need to let him play some Xbox with his friends. Give him time to adapt. You don't want to hog him from interacting with his friends. It could back fire. Just try to come up with some kind of time management between you & his games that is fair. Hopefully he'll slowly lay off the games a little? Spend less time on it & more with you.

it is normal. but he will get tired of it eventually.

My boyfriend play Halo 3 on co-op all the time. Talk to him, and sharpen your game skillz. I heard a lot of guys think it's a turn on if a girl plays video games.

Still, talk to him and tell him you need some lovin.

Yeah it's normal for guys to have a videogame addiction I usually play garrysmod till 4 in the mornin

Yes it is my friends do it but I dont know wtf is the matter with me that I don't like playing videogames

It's really easy to get into a rut with video games. They're made to be addictive and so seamless that hours can pass without him noticing. He likes the games and probably uses them to interact withthe friends he just moved away from, so when you talk to him, make it absolutely clear that you don't want to take them away from him, but also make it clear that he's playing them too much. He does need to spend time nurturing your relationship, and just playing video games with you doesn't count. There needs to variety.

Rent a movie or get netflix. Take a walk or a hike. Get some cheap bikes off of craigslist (if he plays a lot of video games and doesn't watch what he eats, there's a good chance he'll start getting chubby) and go ride them. Cook a meal together, go on a picnic, bring a stereo and dance in the park. Get a puzzle. Read up on games people used to play before there were all these fancy doodads. Like hoop n stick. Go inner tubing if you live near a river. Get drunk. Make your own beer and then get drunk. Play strip poker. The winner gets to choose what happens next. Do stuff. It's not hard and doesn't need to cost much, if anything.

1. Yea it is... games put us in a world we can never access in real life or at least not while we are doing it. Like reading a romance novel.
2. Walk in parks, talk to eachother

um thats normall attchally but dw xbox's can only last for 2 years sooooo....

actually id think he might get annoyed if u talk while hes concentratin on playin his game...maybe straight up ask if theres something u could both play like cards or monopoly...

Well, since my boyfriend does a lot of the same stuff I am going to recommend talking to him while he is playing video games. Appear "into it" and then, also, talk to him about your day while he is playing. And, he CAN get two-player games that are less tacticle like a wrestling game or something along those lines - something easy. Rockband and Guitar Hero are also good ones. But - yeah I'd talk to him as if he had your full attention. If he makes a stink about it tell him he can continue playing after you go to bed if he just gives you some "couple time". This works in my relationship maybe it'll work in yours. Good luck sweetie!

VIDEO GAMES ARE THE BEST, OBVIOUSLY UR NOT...
