Me 33, GF 28. We both game. We both play console, handheld and PC games. We play Age of Mythology against each other. About to pass her my DS1 and buy a lite, then it's DS mutilplayer gaming between us too! :D

And to Buck: He would "ditch" me IF HE DIDN'T, LIVE IN MY HOUSE, DRIVE THE CAR I HELPED HIM BUY, COOK FOR HIM, CLEAN FOR HIM. Ask him about ALL that.
Oh, and on top of all that, I'm d*mn smart, I have nice tits, nice firm *ss, and by god if I am not fat.
It seems to me that if you want a REPRESENTATIVE sample of the ENTIRE population you wouldn't ask the people who splooge their pants over ATOT.
Maybe instead of giving him tips to "ditch" me, you guys should give him tips how to "please" me.

And now all you little dorks who sit at your computers all day as if it were REAL life (which, it's not) can sit here at shoot your mouths off. I DARE you to show it to any of the women in your lives. Oh, wait, you probly don't have the BALLS.
Lol, reminds me of that saying "No matter how hot she is, some guy somewhere is sick of her sh!t" :p Sounds like a typical 'universe revolves around me' princess, I can entirely understand why the OP escapes into video games.

Once again - ditch her.

I'll show my GF. She won't think much apart from agree with me that it's not about the games, you've just lost respect for your BF. The games thing is an outlet, not the root of your relationship issues.

I'm the MONEY BAGS in the relationship. Not only that, but I am planning for a Law Degree. I'll make more money than he can imagine, and not only that, BUT I WON'T BE SPENDING IT ON COMPUTER GAMES.... i'll be saving it for an early retirement.

oh, also guys.... i DON'T WANT KIDS. there's something else i bet he never told you.

Seriously, YOU should totally DUMP HIS AS$!!!


Yes, because a woman can't stay with a man that makes less money than her. That's just not the American way.



That doesnt look like its about the money, read her post before that one. That whole relationship just looks beyond hope. They are obviously forever and a day apart on life

We've heard one side. None of us know the full details. The post quoted was completely about money and her making more than him.

How many women do you know that will stay with a man that makes less money than her? A few... but not many. Now, how exactly does that attitude fit with a) women claiming men and women should be paid equally and b) women claiming that money doesn't matter when it comes to 'love'?



in case you guys missed this, it's NOT ABOUT MONEY. i TOTALLY want to make more money than a man in ANY RELATIONSHIP. you wanna know why? so i can make the calls about my OWN LIFE. anyone else notice I also said I DON'T WANT KIDS... yet another zap on "men's" money... NEXT

If gaming gets in the way, dump him. It isn't normal for someone in their 20's to game all the time (as in, no other hobbies, no real job, no friends, etc.) If you don't have a problem with him gaming, but it is more like a problem that it is all he does, then dump him. Some weeks I got with no gaming, but sometimes my best friend will come over and I'll play BF2 for 4 hours. It depends on how busy I am. I don't go to bars, etc. But then again, I help my wife, I am building her a 5000 sq. ft. house right now, and spend a lot of time with my daughter. For me, gaming takes the place of bars, TV, etc. I would much rather go wakeboarding and drive my boat with my family then game...

Also, I live in Alaska. There isn't a whole lot to do during the winter.

Put it this way, if his hobby was something other than gaming, such as water polo, would you be just as upset? It sounds to me like he passes on you for a hobby, regardless of what the hobby is.

On another note, will you marry me?



I just might be available soon. I'd make a DAMN FINE WIFE for any man who doesn't A) want some stupid ninny who whines until he PAYS FOR HER SUV and B)doesn't want his woman popping babies out like jellie beans.... talk about a GREAT way to suck some money down the drain.

LOL, we know who wears the pants in this relationship. Nice rant. Although I sure hope you're not this bitchy under everyday circumstances, otherwise I could understand why he games all the time.

BTW, if you've got all that going for you and your BF relies on you so much while at the same time fails to satisfy you in the sack, why haven't you dumped him? Sounds to me like you two should move on to greener pastures. Of course, except for the bitchy part, his pasture sounds pretty green at the moment. ;)

Nope, I am a wonderful girlfriend until my lazy boyfriend won't ever help me. OR when he starts ugly threads designed to attract negative attention to me and our relationship. I do lots of great stuff for his ungrateful *ss. His pasture is green with flowers, and I think he wants to demote himself to a pig slop

If I had responded with "i have a vagina, hear me roar" you would be correct. Fact is: I HATE most women with a passion. They are spiteful, catty, bitches who do nothing but talk ****** behind other peoples' backs. In case you haven't noticed, I said it right here.... and I didn't START this crap, did I?

Clearly you have a very healthy ego. No one is perfect, and thinking you're automatically better than any other woman is not an attractive trait.

That said, I'm not fully disagreeing with you. If you're putting more into the relationship than him and he's not willing to work at it more, then it's time to move on.

Fair enough.

So, have you considered both of you leaving this thread, going off to a room together, and talking to each other openly about the issues and feelings in your relationship?

You don't need to make more than a man in order to make your own calls, just not be dependent. If you think that making less money means you're being controlled, what does that make any man you deal with? Your money, job, and desire to not have kids should have no bearing on if it's okay for him to play games or not, so there wasn't any real reason for you to bring it up.

You still haven't answered if you would be okay if he had a different hobby. If you look here or anywhere else, you'll find that men ages 21-29 are actually the largest section of gamers these days, so him playing games is absolutely normal. If you're unsatisfied sexually, bring that up with him and work to correct that, it has nothing to do with gaming. Tearing down his hobby just sounds like more of your control freakishness or misplaced anger, though.

One more news flash. You can cook clean and buy everything in the world and still get your ass dumped. Men have known this forever. And this thread wasn't designed to do anything but prove that gaming is normal for someone his age. You took it to a whole other leve.

Holy sh$t!

Too many issues here to address! But I give you 10/10 for the best personal a$$ reaming rant I've read in a long time.

You guys obviously have some work to do on your relationship, hope it works out for you.


IF this is really the GF i can't say i blame her for the post. sounds like they have a LOT of issues that need to work out.


but to buttsmacker (intersting nick)

why leave it to him to please you? take the upper hand. nothing wrong with makeing sure you get off while you two are knocking sheets together.

but i do sit on here all day. but then im retired so its ok and yes my wife does know what i post she has an account here. but i dont see her post often she is usally over at YAGT heh

"healthy"? I'd say it needs to slim down a little!

I have to wonder why some people date...in this case, it almost sounds like she WANTS some loser guy who makes less money, doesn't make any decisions in the relationship, and has other attributes that she can belittle in order to provide a counterpoint to her own achievements. And he probably wants someone who pays all the bills and makes the decisions, even if that means he has to put up with insults. They're perfect for each other :p

I hope I'm wrong..but that's just how it sounds from the little we know.

Most people who are near-perfect in every way are (a)dating people of equal caliber, and (b)don't feel the need to announce their perfection at every turn.

well i can see her point though. what if she has been begging him to get a job and stay off the computer, games etc?

here she is paying for everything and just getting tired of it. if that is the case she needs to get a better boyfriend. when one person in the relationship is not respected then no use being in the relationship.

I just wonder how much is true though?
