Today, after a week of not seeing each other, my boyfriend has a three day break from work. This would be great if he hadn't just told me he's having a Guild Wars 2 marathon. Now all I have to look forward to is slow wifi and anguished screams every time his character dies. FML

How about you make yourself an account and play with him?

I feel your pain... mine is the same way.

Change his wifi password and don't tell him the new one until he spends time with you.

Go unplug the Internet and tell him if he wants it back he has to spend time with you!!!:)

Yeah, cause you know, blackmailing someone into spending time with you is a sign of a good relationship that's gonna last.

I'm sorry OP, I feel your pain. My now ex boyfriend and I went two weeks without seeing each other (he plays NHL 13 every night with the boys) and got furious with me telling me he can do whatever he wants and doesn't give a f**k what I want, when I said I would like to spend some quality time with him and have a nice weekend together. He's being selfish. I agree that he should be allowed to enjoy his time off, but if it's been a while since you saw each other I'd say the majority of it should be spent together doing something together, AS A COUPLE, not sitting on your butts with video games.

I'm a gamer and I've been on the same spot, since my girlfriend doesn't like videogames. Even if you are living together he needs a healthy balance of time with you AND time for himself to do things he likes. I think the 3-day marathon is overdoing it, but try to think how long he may have spend outside his hobby. I'll give you two tips: first, admit you both are entitled to have your hobbies. Couples without hobbies are very dependant on each other, and it can be a problem where one has a hobby and the other has more free time and automatically thinks of spending that time with the couple; so keep your own identity to some level. Lastly, be supportive; even if he loves you he wants to do something entertaining and to achieve something. I'm not saying you buy the game and make a healer, but check him out every now and then. In the long run, it should matter to him because you were supportive instead of lecturing on how to spend his free time.

Why are you going to hang out with him if you know you're just going to get ignored? YDI.

It's only a week. Some people actually have it way worse than you. Maybe chill out with some friends? (: trust me, let him play Guild Wars.

im a gamer and i still prioritize my girl in situations like that. just keep unplugging the wifi randomly without his knowledge.

ong I love Guild Wars!!! I'm a girl though...... maybe you could try playing it with him?

If I ever get a girlfriend, I would never do that. I would always put her first. I'm really sorry to hear that.

Instead of complaining, root him on while he plays!
