Video games

[yorkshirepudsx]

I'm a big believer in things should be enjoyed in moderation. Including video games.

I don't mind my partner playing them, you know if he's got spare time or wants to unwind, but I feel like there's a big difference between ENJOYING a video game & then being completely obsessed and pushing it too far.

I'm not going to go into what's going on with me lol, I'll be typing forever.

But I just want others thoughts on the below:

• Have you ever been in a relationship and had it turn sour due to how much time your partner spends playing video games?

• Do you think video game addiction it should be spoken about more? I don't think some people realise that with video games, boundaries can be pushed and it can turn into an addiction.

Being upfront I don’t get gaming, so I’m coming at it from a completely novice point of view. But I have a 14 year old son who’s got all the consoles and plays on them alllll the time! However, if my partner was like yours, he’d be gone.
You have every single right to be annoyed by it, as it always seems to be the men who are off doing their hobby while we pick up the pieces! I had it with my ex years ago, but thankfully my partner now has an Xbox and will play fifa but it is only when I’m out for the eve or I choose to go to bed early and he’s taking a turn with the baby. It’s not in family time, the same as I wouldn’t pop a box set on for 6 hours and ignore everyone. Everyone is entitled to down time but he sounds genuinely addicted to it, I’d be embarrassed playing a game as a grown man while my family came round to see me. If I were you OP, I would sit him down and have a very serious chat about how badly this is impacting you and your little family. If he’s not willing to change, you have to decide if you can put up with this forever more.

So many women making the mistake of marrying console gaming plebs instead of one of the PC master race :p

I can understand why you might be concerned about them becoming obsessed though. It's important to find a healthy balance in any relationship. While I haven't personally experienced a relationship turning sour because of gaming, I've definitely heard stories from others. Video game addiction is definitely a topic that deserves more discussion. Sometimes boundaries can get pushed, and it can become a genuine addiction. Communication is key in these situations, so it's important for both partners to have an open dialogue and find a balance that works for both of them. Actually, I lost my addiction to LoL when I started using https://lol-script.com/. Just sharing my thoughts.

My ex was a hardcore gamer, and at first, it was cool – we'd even game together. But slowly, it became his whole world. Weekends, evenings, you name it – all about the game. It felt like I was in a relationship with a console. I get it, everyone needs downtime, but when it starts affecting your connection, that's when it gets tricky. Conversations turned into one-sided dialogues, and quality time became a distant memory. It wasn't just about enjoying a game anymore.
