they are selfish, and lazy people. furthermore, they are fools. each and every single one of them. how do i know? because i am with one. ALL he does is sleep, eat, and play video games (on and off line- he switches from one to the other). he is the worst slob in the world. he is a bio-hazzard kind of slob, at that. he will go weeks without taking a bath. months without brushing his teeth. on the other hand, he will DIE if before anyone sees him with a hair out of place. now, i am just plain frustrated with him and those games. i am just frustrated with him. if you talk to him about it, he already has a built in attitude already set to let off. this way everyone knows- DON'T MESS WITH HIM AND HIS GAME THING! i am going to start staying gone. no, wait. that won't work. he won't care, as long as the roof stays up over his head, he doesn't are if i am gone 12 hours a day. oh, yeah. as long as HE doesn't have to leave the house.
i am so sick and tired of dealing with bone head, video game addict men. what is with this kind of stuff. does anyone have any suggestions on why most men forsake everything outside of a dumb video game? he doesn't care whether or not i care. right now, movement to movement of his is making me just sick. it's like his presents is annoying me and he knows it. he has a cup of bear (IN FRONT OF A STUPID VIDEO GAME) that has ice in it. so he is twirling it around, and it is making noise. furthermore, i smell the cup of bear all the way from here. that's the answer isn't it? he is doing it to annoy the heck outa me. that is just like his personality. i wouldn't put it past him. people who are addicted to video game are annoying people. why is that. hey video game addicts. lol. why are you soooo annoying.

Yes, my boyfriends best friend is this way. We invite him over and he brings his game system to dinner...lol. He also talks about nothing other than games. That is when I will get on the internet and find something to do. My boyfriend is not much into the games either. Thank goodness. My son who is 11 and this man sit and play video games for hours..lol. I don't normally let my son play that long, but I don't know how else to entertain this man. I feel for you.

I do find that sad that someone hasn't got enough social skills to just be with their friends. Perhaps saying something like "we're trying to make sure our son develops proper social skills and learns to interact with people so no gaming while your here" might be a good hint.

I have to ask why you are still living with this person? I mean, clearly they aren't really contributing anything to the household.
I don't think I've met anyone who has gotten this bad about videogames. I mean, I have friends who will go through phases where they play every day after work, but if they have a visitor or something they will stop playing.

Hi MoonGypsy, that's a huge generalisation that you have just made although I understand the predicament that you are facing at this time. Not all computer game addicts are like that. I love computer games myself but fortunately they don't take up all of my time whereby I start sacrificing other areas of life. You are facing a very bad situation unfortunately and I guess it can be very difficult at times. I think it's important to do anything with balance. Hopefully he will change his ways eventually once he sees how unhappy his behaviour is making you. I wish you all the best in your situation. Andrew

I think we use the word "addict" too much. People say that they are addicted to something but, in truth, most real addicts will deny they have any kind of problem.
It sounds to me you play a lot but you aren't addicted because you keep your playing in proportion and aren't ignoring everything else like Moon Gypsy's partner does.

yes, i agree. you seem like a level headed person. you seem like you can find a balance even though you like to play games alot. i could deal with that. it's the full blow addiction that is making this difficult. thank you so much for your kind words and support.

I agree. _They are lazy, stupid and dont do anything else. To make it worse, they only play games. They didnt let me do my homework because they were a world of warcraft freak. And by the way, we are kind of addicted to mylot....

You really won't like what I'm going to say, but it probably should be said. Have you ever thought that the reason he's so involved in his video games is because he's trying to tune out all of the nagging he's hearing? Seriously, think about this. Constant harping is going to do nothing to get him out of the video game shell he's constructed around himself.
How are you talking to him? Are you being demanding and boorish, or are you talking to him in a reasonable manner? You say he has an attitude, but to me, it appears that you have one as well, and that does nothing for a relationship.

I don't buy it either. The guy's behaviour is selfish and destructive (to himself as well as Moon Gypsy) that she "nags" him is because she cares about him and can see what a mess he is making of himself. Whether she is in the house or not all he does is game so it seems that's all HE cares about.

I'm kinda addict but I'm not that extreme.
I have a good hygiene and I brush my teeth at least twice a day.
If he just trying to annoy you, he either loves you or hates you.
I would tell you to try playing with him but that would never work...

WOW!!! you said a mouth full!!!!!!!!! lol. i love it all. i think that it's both. he loves me and hates me. i think it's more love, it would have to be in order for him to stay with me. i also think it is by necessity, which comes to the hate part. i think that if he could do better, he would. he knows it, but his situation does not allow him to do it. maybe he resents me for having to stay with me. this is really food for thought. i think he is also depressed, too.
as for playing with him. well, let's just say that i can't get close to my adversary (videos games). it has been a nemesis in my life to long. there is no resolve. i think, if/when i ever get out of this relationship. break out in hives when i see a video game commercial. lol.

I don't really hate video game addicts but I don't like the act itself. Playing video games makes people lazy and forget to do some more important things than just wasting your time playing in front of the computer.
My 11 year old boy seems to enjoy playing video games but I did my best to discouraged him to give more time in studying instead of playing video games.

same with my 10 year old. at least he is a child, though. there is still hope for our kids, because we are in their lives directing them as their parents. we don't want them to have this kind of problem in their adult lives, that's why we tell them to find something else to do besides paying video games.

Leave or kick him out. Addicts don't have relationships they take hostages and he's making your life hell.
Whatever his problems are that he has to hide on the computer all day it isn't your fault or responsiblity to change the world for him.

That's exactly the main reason why i don't play video games in the house as that would exactly how my wife would react LOL. I usually go to an internet cafe to spend an hour or two just to play games since it's a way for me to relieve stress. That way, she can have all my attention when I'm home. So you have to classify video games addicts into three categories; the good, the bad and the addict. Cheers!

Yes Video Game Edicts may be Harmful For anybody's physical or mental health.
But You Just Don't take negative out of anything,If you want to live a life of winning then took out positives out of Something.
The Positive of Playing Video Games is that it broads your Imagination power and Sharpens your Mind by playing such quick Responses Game which always gaves you a feeling of Excitement.
So My Friend I know it might be a problem to you but to win on anything rather than losing you have to take positives,thats how my life is going On!
Happy Mylotting Day.

yes, that is soo funny. i mean that in a good way. that is the most poetically waxed way to explain away a game addiction. but, it is really cute. thanks for making things a bit lighter for me. i don't need to go to bed too mad at him.
