By Elnur/ShutterstockIf you’ve ever played video games, you know that you can easily spend hours playing without even realizing how much time has gone by. This can totally have a negative impact in relationships.
If you listen to our show, then you know I feel some type of way about video games. So, it was not a surprise to me to hear some people's responses about how video games ruined their relationships.
According to Buzzfeed, Redditor u/TheGoddessPluto seemed to have realized this and asked, "Women who broke up with someone due to video games, what was your breaking point?" and they didn’t hold back.
What are they saying?
- "I dated a man who never seemed to have a problem with video games until well into the relationship. Eventually, he started choosing video games over being intimate or sleeping next to me. I left shortly after that."
- "He talked me out of going home for Christmas because it was our first Christmas together. I made dinner, cleaned the house, decorated, dressed up, put on music, and he made me bring him a plate and gamed the whole day. I sat at the table by myself."
- "When I started having dreams about destroying his gaming console with an axe, I realized that the scenario was unhealthy for both of us. My current boyfriend plays games but is judicial about the time he spends on it and will absolutely turn it off if I express a desire to do something together."
- "He ‘couldn’t’ work, so I was the sole provider. I am a high school teacher, and I worked hard, came home exhausted, and he had been playing games all day. I did all the cooking and cleaning while he gamed for 18+ hours every day. He’d be up all night shouting or laughing through the headset and keeping me awake. I’d have to ask repeatedly for him to be quiet so I could sleep."
