My boyfriend literally wakes up in the middle of night will play a COD match...then when he wakes up in the morning he plays.. if hes not eating, using the bathroom,or having sex...he is playing this game....ALL DAY..its so crazy to me that someone wouldn't get tired of anything..repetitively overtime....we use to have fun out in nature...but this is all he wants to do...hes gaining weight, not working, and not even showering that much....its really getting bad.I'm 21 and he is 28 if that means anything.

    It means hes a baws.Seriously now its time to for you to discuss it with him.If he does not listen(which im sure he wont)Leave for a couple of days and if he still has the same habits consider ending your relationship.

    I really hate it when gamers do this because it gives gamers a bad look. Its perfectly fine to play games a lot as its a good and safe hobby. It is entirely fine to work, deal with school and game with your remaining free time. Games and especially MMOs will be repetitive but its the gameplay that is fun, you just have to be a gamer to understand that one. To do it all day without working and no other kind of progress, even skipping showers just isn't right though and especially unhealthy to a relationship if you two aren't gaming together sometimes. This has to be brought to his attention because he shouldn't be able to have the benefit of a relationship if he isn't putting forth care and work to keep it going.

      MMOs are probably the main types of games that cause people to go overboard and begin ignoring their health and responsibilities. The whole point of most MMOs is to gain levels which takes a lot of time. I read an article about a guy who played world of warcraft for 3 days straight without really eating or getting up. He ended up dying at the computer from a blood clot in his leg. Gaming addiction is no different than any other type of addiction.

        I know this is probably a mean thing to say but I find this story to be quite comical. I'm pretty sure he was in terrible physical shape to begin with and probably physically weak. I'm sure the world will not miss his contribution to the gene pool.

          Haha. He probably was already in bad shape. He was in one of those internet cafes. All he drank was energy drinks for three days and peed in bottles.

            That is hilarious! So do you think the hipsters at the internet cafe could smell his piss?

        You're right, gaming is no different from any addiction and as such, both gaming and other addictions are okay in moderation. Its just examples like this that make it seem like the mere act of gaming a lot is bad in all forms no matter what. That example is an extreme one that rarely happens and many people have respectable lives and maybe even be a married couple (yes I know a few) who still make time to enjoy games together. Games can work just fine in someone's life but like in OP's example, too much isn't acceptable. We're saying the same things, I'm only defending games a bit because I know some people won't advise gaming period which is going overboard. It makes gamers an easy target to those who don't play who won't understand why people play so much in the first place.

          I am not against gaming at all. Everything in moderation.

    My husband is exactly the same way. The only time he stops playing his PlayStation is to eat, shit, or fuck. I give up, it's hopeless. So you see your not alone. And this has been going on for years. Can you imagine, what a crazy bitch I must be. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

        That's what my mom says too. But what can I do? I mean it would be ok if he played some of the time, but not to this degree. And If I dare say anything, he'll go into a rage. And start saying He's worked all day. And I Didn't, and just escalates from there. It's easier to just let him play. I guess Marriage requires sacrifice.

          I don't like this going into a rage business. I hope that's just figuratively speaking, Queenie.

          I hear you on the whole marriage requires sacrifice thing which has led me to believe that marriage isn't really for me. I'm not saying for sure it isn't per se but certainly for now it isn't.

            It's not that bad of a rage. Just a little yelling and jumping around. I can sort of handle it. Not like a bloody brawl, or something. To be honest with you, If you don't want to lose your freedom. And you don't want to, constantly worry about another person, besides having your own problems. I wouldn't suggest it. It has it's Pro and Con's. Like I said earlier, I feel as though I've lost some of my identity. But I guess that's part of the sacrifice. And it's not for everyone, That's problably why the Divorce Rate is so high.

          Gosh, I'm sorry. Was he like that when you married him? Do you ever think of leaving?

            No, I don't think of leaving. He financially supports me. And takes care of me when I need to go to the doctor or something. Why should I leave just because of that. Like I said it's annoying. But he's still a good honest man. And those my dear, are hard to find, in this day an age. Plus we've been married sixteen years. After that long. You kinda feel as though you are one person. It's strange like you almost lose your identity.

              Understandable, I felt that way with my first ex husband. We were in the same field of work, he was a good provider and a hard worker. I did truly love him but he cheated on me with a big, fat, bleach, blond woman from his work after our cat and his mother passed away within a month of each other.

              About five years ago I made a huge mistake and married number two but I divorced him after three months because all he wanted to do was play video games, drink beer, smoke weed(if someone else is paying for it) and not look for a job.

    I don't understand why women put up with weak guys like this. I also don't understand why you deleted my comment OP so perhaps you're weak as well there, girly?

    "...we use to have fun out in nature...but this is all he wants to do...hes gaining weight, not working, and not even showering that much... "

    Why would you stay with someone like this unless you're one of those pathetic females who's afraid of being alone? Is that really what you want from your life, wasted time and effort on someone who ignores you, is out of shape, unemployed and probably doesn't smell very nice from lack of proper hygiene? Cut your losses, have courage and run(don't walk) away from this loser!

    Does he do drugs too? I hope you're not living with him and supporting his sorry ass. But, it's your life, if you wanna waste it it's your business and you're loss. Be smart, and don't waste your youth on this dreg of humanity.

        Perhaps, but I could have sworn I responded to this post earlier and then I looked and it appears that my comment was deleted. I think to delete comments is kinda a shitty thang to do to put it mildly.

          People just delete comments because they disagree with your opinion. Ignorance is bliss.

            True that, but I think it's kind of a punk ass move.

      I'm happy to say I don't even know what a K/D is? I'd love to meet someone nice and in good shape who doesn't know or at least doesn't care what that is or much about video games for that matter.
