If my boyfriend cut off my Xbox in the middle of me gaming, I would be about three shades past furious and more than a little upset with him. Then again, he's not that rude.

That would piss me off too. You don't pull a power trip like that, and expect someone to just take it. You aren't his parent. Doing that was incredibly disrespectful, and said everything that needed to be said about the relationship. So there you go. That's yer "talk". Actions speak louder than words, and you were deafening.

Xbox sucks anyways

You probably shouldn't have done that as it is a bit rude. However, if a guy breaks up with you for turning off a game, in my opinion he is an immature individual and has no business being in a relationship. I grew up a gamer myself, and something similar has happened to me. Loads of times, in fact. It would be upsetting, but I got over it and didn't throw a dramatic tantrum like OP's ex. People need to grow up. There are much more important things going on out there. This is coming from someone who has spent an embarrassing amount of sleepless nights trying to achieve "perfect games;" I'm sorry to break it to you guys, but it's-just-a-game. Real life is happening, and you're going to have to participate in it eventually. There's some good stuff out there. I've seen people waste away over this crap. They lose basic social skills over time, it's pathetic. All these YDI's make me laugh, and sad for the future.

While I agree that that (alone) is not a reason to break up with you, turning off someone's video game (or anything really) is incredibly rude. Unless he's a 9 year old who hasn't done his chores and you're his mother. In which case we have a whole other problem...

To bad you didn't let him save his game. Maybe if you had, you could have saved your relationship.

As a gamer myself, this was a huge miss on your part. Never turn off someone's xbox (or playstation or pc). His reaction may have been a bit hasty but I assume there were other issues to make that the breaking point in the first place. YDI

you don't need that dude, he's obviously immature

She was probably screwing up elsewhere for him to leave like that. Who's that self important to not be able to wait until beten games?

Oh sweetheart, you're so much better off. You dodged a bullet.
