i'm okay with it, as long as he doesn't spend all day on them and doesn't forget that i'm there. One day we were in his room and the whole day he was on his computer all day, ignoring that i was there. I was just lying on the bed, bored out of my mind and i ended up taking like ten naps. I was glad when he quit playing that particular game.

boys playing vidoe games are normal as i see it. Boys will be boys.
My boyfriend and i play a lot of video games. I'm a gamer too, we share the same addictive passion of going online to play. It's fun. Sometimes we play with other people, sometimes we go one on one. Cool.

Well my boyfriend and I have a Xbox and we hardly ever use it. I don't even think it has been turned on for 3 months. But when we used to play it we would do so together and play against each other. I think maybe if we had a newer console with the newer games we would play more often. Like rock band. I know he wants one but that means we have to get a play station and its just not in the budget right now. Also we are stuck. We don't know which gaming system we want. I say a x box 360 but then again he wants a play station. So for now we don't play to many games. I wouldn't mind at all if he wanted to play games all day. I am a online game player so many choices. lol I spend more time on face book playing my scratch and wins and slots and mind buster games.

I'd rather have my boyfriend playing video games with me all day long than have him playing some nasty games with other woman...lol...I also like to play video games and I think it's a way to chill out after a day of hard work. We can even have some snacks while playing.... :)

i dont mind my boyfriend playing video games at all. but, thats because he knows his boundries. he still pays attention to me and lets me ask him questions or talk to him while he's playing. he doesnt get so stuck in a game that he forgets everthing else. i like to read or knit while he plays. we do that most sundays. its our relaxing time. then we will take a break to watch a movie or something.
What i dont like is this- my ex used to get so into his video games that he wouldnt pay any attention to me or would get mad at me if i walked past the screen (had to walk past it to get from the living room to the bathroom and bedrooms. he used to yell and scream at the tv all the time and was always in a bad/touchie mood when he played. and he would get mad at me for trying to ask him questions because i was interupting him. i dont like that kind of stuff. i think it is rude.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!
I'm sorry...I have an experience for this one.
When my boyfriend told me he was going to come visit me during his leave from Iraq (he's an American Soldier), I was like, "Great! We can spend time together!" Wow, when he came, the next day (we only have an Xbox) he had me take him shopping and he bought us an Xbox 360* and a whole load of stuff to go with it. My 12 year old son was in heaven...and so was he. Every time I turned around, both man and son were hooked on that thing, shooting and killing each other. Granted, I let it slide because my man works 6 days a week for 12 hour shifts. He's been doing that since Sept so I figured he deserved some time off. And, if it wasn't the Xbox, he was on his computer. It was because of that, we didn't spend as much time as I wanted during his ten day stay here. We only went out on a "date" once but that was because I mentioned it.
But, all in all, I knew he loved his video games. If anything, it was something both he and my oldest son (whom never knew what having a father for more than three years) to bond. It was something that the man and my daughter (13 years old) could play...she LOVES racing games. If they were stuck on something, he would help them out.
So, he has his video games and I have my computer. I know we all have our vices and our hobbies...just as long as he came down for meals and gave me some lovings I was fine.

So my boyfriend is such a video game addict. He plays his x box 360 alot and goes online to be able to talk to the people he is playing with. When Dinner is ready and when the house is a mess he will still play and that bugs me. I dont like cooking dinner for myself. I find it unhealthy to play because hes loosing weight and it bugs me. I wish he would not play so much and i know he likes it and thats fine but he needs to do other things as well. I know he does dishes and takes the trash out and the guy stuff around the house but i would like help with other things as well. Video Games arent supossed to be your life.
