.. to not give a fuck about COD?

Husband just got the needle with me because I 'couldn't even pretend to be interested in his game of COD for 10 minutes whilst he showed me what it's all about and how far he's got on his mission 🙄🙄🙄🙄
AIBU that I couldn't even take that statement seriously?!

It's a game, I'm not interested, I won't fake it. Gosh. That's like me telling him to watch an episode of Ru Paul's DR with me and pretend to be interested.

What is the big attraction with men & there games #wankers

They all need to get a life. Good for you OP not being interested

MincedOath · 09/11/2019 20:47

Am also hopeless at faking interest but would a million times rather play COD than watch RuPaul's DR. And DH would say the reverse.

RightEarlobeBreath · 09/11/2019 20:48

I think it's sad you can't even talk about his interest without being patronising about it. It's more sad that you can't even manage a conversation with him about it.

TheArtfulScreamer1 · 09/11/2019 20:49

I don't give a fuck about cod either as I much prefer haddock and I've even less interest in computer games fortunately for me neither has my DH Grin

Oldfail · 09/11/2019 20:49

Yeah another one who would prefer to play COD. Me and my dad would spend hours playing online and I made some great long distance friends over the years.

Sparrowlegs248 · 09/11/2019 20:50

No. I couldn't be arsed either. My nephew tries to talk for hours about his games. I don't care, I just can't even begin to pretend to be interested.

DontCallMeShitley · 09/11/2019 20:52

Sounds fishy to me.

No idea what COD is in any other context than with chips though.

Spidey66 · 09/11/2019 20:53

Cash on Delivery?

hungryhippie · 09/11/2019 20:54

I get you OP. My husband plays occasionally but knows not to try and talk to me about it.
I'm not mean, but I do definitely glaze over. So boring!

Fatted · 09/11/2019 20:54

I do think it's a shame that you can't show even a passing interest in his hobby. My DH does gaming, I prefer to read. But we have conversations about his games and the books I am reading.

I'd sooner talk about modern warfare than cycling or fishing TBH.

DramaAlpaca · 09/11/2019 20:54

I don't like fish at all so you're definitely not being unreasonable.

I don't have any interest in gaming either.

cherryblossomgin · 09/11/2019 20:55

I play alot of indie games and don't expect DH to care. I find COD so dull. It's the same game repackaged countless times.

Pukkatea · 09/11/2019 21:08

I think YABU. You don't have to take part or be super interested but you sound like you were just rude and dismissive.

honeyloops · 09/11/2019 21:14

I don't find my OH's games particularly interesting but I fake a bit of it and ask him questions when he wants to talk about it, because I love him and he shows a bit of interest in my knitting etc. I think that's just a mark of love - accepting that it's not your thing but it matters to them.

ActualHornist · 09/11/2019 21:14

Husband and I both game. We feign interest in each other’s games...for a while anyway Wink

‘That’s nice dear’ seems to do the trick!
