'When I started having dreams about destroying his gaming console with an axe, I realized that the scenario was unhealthy for both of us.'
"He Could Clock 100 Hours In A Week." People Are Sharing Heartbreaking Stories About How Video Games Became The Breaking Point In Their Relationships
"We hadn’t gone on a date in weeks since he was always playing. We finally had a weekend where we were both going to be free. He said to leave my day open because we were going on a date and he was planning it. On the day off, I woke up, and he said he wanted to sleep in. I said, 'fine,' and five minutes later, he said that his friends called him to play a game. In three minutes, he was ready and heading out of the house. He said it would just be a few hours, and he left.
"My boyfriend would go to work in the late morning or early afternoon, do his job while the boss was there, and then as soon as the boss left, he started playing games and wouldn’t stop. Many, many times I’d call him and tell him that I was going to go ahead and eat dinner, then call him and say I was going to bed, and then around midnight, I’d call and say, 'Please don’t miss the last bus.
"When it came to intimacy, I would try and initiate. He’s always gaming, so it’s the only time I can initiate. I would wear lingerie, cook a nice dinner, set the ambiance to a romantic mood — nothing. One time, I wore lingerie and came behind him, kissed him, and told him how much I wanted him. He yelled at me and told me he was busy. I tried playing therapist and communicating to him how hurtful it was to feel unwanted or not desired by him. He acknowledged and apologized.
"He came home from work, slightly drunk from his car vodka, after telling me he wasn’t drinking anymore. In the midst of me telling him his drinking was getting out of hand, he turned on his gaming system, put his headphones half on, and had a controller in hand. I just walked out with our kid, served divorce papers, and am finally free of video games. He spent years coming home from work, putting those headphones on, and ignoring our family.
"He was playing games when he casually told me his mom would be stopping by shortly. Our house was a huge mess because he was a slob, and our landlord let the place sink into decrepitude. I was often too overwhelmed to keep up. I asked him to help me clean so his mom wouldn't be wading through a fucking dump, and he simply refused. Flat out said, 'No, I'm in the middle of this. Don't worry about it, it's fine, she won't care.
