Mental health, Gamers and Love: Stressed out

Stressed out

By amy1023 - 26/11/2009 10:18 - United States

Today, I complained to my boyfriend that I was stressed out. He asked me, "What do you have to be stressed out about?" I work 50 hours a week and go to school full time. I ask him what was stressful about his day, he told me that his "kill/death ratio went down on Call of Duty." FML

Today, I was having lunch with my boyfriend and talking about how stressed out I've been because of my job. While I'm speaking, he pulls out his phone and says his boss is texting him and it was important. There was a game of Tetris reflecting onto his glasses from his phone. FML

Today, my boyfriend called work because he is sick. Then he called me 4 times while I was working, to complain that I was working, and then he got mad when I told him I was sick and worked a double shift 2 days in a row, apparently that is insensitive of me. FML

Quota

Today, my boyfriend told me that because he works fifty hours a week, I should be meeting an arbitrary quota of fifty hours of housework, and if I don't, I'm insensitive and ungrateful. FML

Today, after a full shift at work, I got home to my boyfriend playing CoD, a full sink, crap all over the table, a full cat box, dirty bathroom, no laundry done and the kids at my parents' house. He yelled at me because the place was a mess. FML

Today, my boyfriend told me he wouldn't be able to cover his share of the rent because he didn't work during the week, saying business has been slow. I checked and found out he called in sick four times. He wanted to stay home and watch online gaming matches. FML

Today, I'm staying at my boyfriend's house and things were getting heated when he got a call from one of his mates wanting to play Counter Strike. Next thing I know, I'm laying in bed by myself listening to him rage. FML

Today, my boyfriend asked me why I looked sad. I told him that I found out a co-worker died over the weekend and I failed my final exam. He then informed me that my toilet was clogged again, that he had a lot of work to do, and left. I have to find a plunger. FML

Today, on the phone, my boyfriend was complaining about the heat. When I told him that it wasn't hot where I live, at all, but that I had trouble sleeping due to stress, he replied, "Because of the heat, right? What else can it be?" FML

Today, my boyfriend dumped me because he said the relationship was too tough for him. When I asked for an example, he responded, "Like, I don't have enough time to play World of Warcraft." FML

Ffft, have you ever had your kill/death ratio go down? It's very stressful.

FYL, I've been there. 2 full time jobs, an additional part time job, and a home based business. The school isn't the stressful part i've found, wait til the bills pile in. that's the WORST. Ex then said he was pissed at me for our relationship because i didn't have time for him. He doesn't even have his own bank account, and sat on World of Warcraft 70+ hours a week.

As long as his boomstick is still penetrating your noob tube, you should stop complaining. If not, then grab your riot shield and get out of there. I'm sure you can find someone of a higher caliber.

To all you C.O.D & WW2 players who are obviously pissed at not having decent K/D ratios...... FYL- for not being understanding of the shit that happens in real life as games are something you sit down and play on the occassion for ***** and giggles. yes its tragic that noobs kick your asses, but hey its a GodDamn game so grow the hell up. to you OP- i agree with you entirely, my GF is doing a 50-60 hour a week job, and on a salary at that, also she is doing her tafe work on top of it, so i sympathise with you on it as it drives them nuts. therefore your BF should quit whining about such a hard day on C.O.D due to noobs etc, because he does not work at all. Ditch him. BTW, i also work 50 hours a week most weeks, plus i play games, and no.... gaming is not more stressful than work, especially when you have to put up with cooks who act like dicks. so my advice OP- take a bath, go out to dinner with a good friend and relax, **** the BF, leave him at home coz he is too brain ****** to realise how lucky he is to have you. any arguements people.... bring it!!!!!!!!

LmAo, pitiable at best. hazmiters dictionary K/D ratio: (1) comparing dick sizes and trying to be the biggest wanker. (2) shows that you have no life and dont play to relax, you play to prove that you are option (1) (3) i have a house mate, who plays F.E.A.R 2 online, and what i hear over the com channels, while he is not screaming over his com channel in rather choice expletives, is disgusting. (4) go play laser tag or paintball, because 1 its excersise and 2 its cooler than playing pc games 24/7 and 3 you meet cooler people who are not dicks.

Skrotty's reply 1.you clearly dont play COD. 2.If KD ratio is directly proportional to dick size then my KDR would be 7.65 not 1.21. 3. I have a GF and send lots of time with her.. 4.Also have a paint ball gun and play that too. 5.Not all gamers who are passionateabout them play them 24/7. 6.Its no different to any other hobby people have... SO in conclusion, get off your high and mighty pedistal.
