My boyfriend is 20 and has been PC gaming from the time he was able to use a mouse pretty much. He tells me that it's pretty much an addiction for him because he couldn't see himself without his computer or games.
His roommate is 32 years old and he too remains on his computer the max of his day. (He just so happens to be overweight because he doesn't do anything else except for sit at his desk playing roles laying games.) Needless to say, my boyfriend's only friends are those that he knows from online and play the games he plays. The only person who will agree and side with me is is mother, but she also understands that his computer and gaming lifestyle is all he ever really does and it really is a joy of his.
I'm not too fond of it.
What I really dislike is he telling me that this lifestyle of his is something I'll just have to get use to, which I of course understand.. I knew what I was getting myself into when we began dating. I'm very strong on the idea that this is unhealthy for him, but he loves it. Being that we don't currently live together, he is rarely playing games while I'm around, but reminds me that once were livig together I'll need to become used to not having his full attention all the time as usual.
More and more I've begun to accept his "hobby," but even just knowing he's on a game can tick me off sometimes and I don't fully understand why.
If he had his way he would work online, he told me so. He likes to get out and do things with me, don't get me wrong. In fact, we want to live on the beach.
I just feel like his "Passion, joy, hobby, thing he really loves to do in life" takes over a lot. When I'm not around he will be on his computer into the early morning, sleeping until 5 sometimes. He even tells me "Whats the point of really showering if I don't see you ever day?"
Am I just a girlfriend that doesn't understand? Is my
Boyfriend too excessive with his games? I need to know how to be less "naggy" and more understanding.
