There's this new thing called you cook.



No-one would say that. Can't even see the face.

Edit: I stand corrected.
Lol how do you know they didn't have an arrangement for cooking already set up? Like he works all day so she agreed to take care of the cooking ? If I came home after working all day and my SO is chilling playing fucking video games in a dirty house with no food I'd flip my shit.
 
I can't stand TV's that you have to tilt up for. Double goes for the couch not actually facing the TV.

Oh good I'm not the only one. I live in a partially furnished apartment and I came home one day after a vacation to find the landlord had mounted the TV to the wall way too high up. Playing video games is a pain the damn ass (or neck I guess) now. I even tried to take it off the wall and put it back where I had it but it's been bolted on there. I came home one night drunk and irritated and tried to pretend I was the hulk and tear it off the wall and ended up just cracking the frame like an idiot.
Basically fuck wall mounted TV's.
 
Guys, I don't mind cooking for myself, but she used to always cook. Cooking is something she loves to do. She's been into games before, but Fallout has just taken her to a whole new level of love. I haven't seen her this into a game since Snatcher or Symphony of The Night. But even then, she's obsessed with Fallout.

Yeah sometimes there are arrangements based on who is doing what that day or who has the rougher work load.

Then he should take the advice of the 40 or so people who said "fucking talk to her", and talk to her.
 
If the man works, the woman should cook imo. If you played video games all day instead of going to work she'd have equal grounds to be upset.

I just tried talking to her about it, and she simply said "what the fuck, like you've never been this into a game?"

Maybe I'm being the lame one here.

Classy lady you got there. Tell her you visit a forum filled with the most hardcore gamers on earth and even they think she's going overboard.
 
Has this ever happened before?

Honestly though, you just need to talk to her about it. Let her know how you feel and that this is a problem for you. It is the holiday break, shes toking to much and playing a lot of Fallout. Talk to her, I'm sure she knows it is too much. Try to remember your past experiences when hooked on something (this isn't to excuse the behavior) it is just to help you understand. The most important thing is to not be a jerk about it.

Prepare a nice dinner for both of you, pull her away from the game, and just explain it in a non-accusatory manner. Do not attack her for the toking/gaming, trust me; this will only backfire and make things much worse.

Could not disagree more. I really dislike the idea that the home is the domain of one individual if the other is working. The home is about both; as such both should clean, cook, and do household chores. Yes, this is regardless of the fact that there is a sole bread-winner. Sure the individual that is not bringing home a monetary income should do the majority, but you are asking for a dysfunctional scenario if you set it up as I work therefore you cook.

o -o

Maybe she's trying to make a point? Maybe look back on how your behavior was with games in the past and think about whether or not it upset her or something?

That quote seems pretty hostile though. Gotta wonder if there's more to this.
 
Sounds like she needs someone who lets her do what she wants without going on an internet forum and crying about it, that's my opinion at least.
 
I find it hard to believe she would get stoned only when gaming? And not all the time before. If there is a large increase in smoking it sounds like she is down.

Yep, people with addictions never see what they are doing as a problem, that's why the lame "just talk to her" advice won't work. She will have to realise it herself, that's really the only way. The defensive way she came back at you shows this.

I don't think you are being lame, its just the advice people are giving you here is wrong.

Have you explained how she's making you feel like she doesn't have time for you anymore, and that a videogame seems to be more important than your relationship? What did you say to her, paraphrasing if nec?
 
I've got a friend who's addicted to playing League of Legends and he got his girlfriend hooked on it as well - now, that's all they do.

Well, have you? It sounds to me like she's going overboard, especially if she's neglecting you to play a game after she's been playing during the entire period you've been at work. The OP makes is sound like she's smoking weed and playing Fallout from sun up to sun down every day. Have you done similar things with the frequency she's exhibiting now, or is she playing Fallout and neglecting you far more than you've ever done when you've been into a game?
 
My question would be if you have ever done something similar before with game marathon. Her reaction seems to suggest that you had gone through these game marathon session too.

I used to play WoW with this couple who played all the fucking time. Like there was not a moment when one of them wasn't online except for maintenance days. You'd hear their kids in the background crying and shit... Was pretty sad. They got their kids taken away from them And as far as I know they still play ( I stopped in 09)
 
I sat next to her and asked her if I could speak with her, and without looking at me she said my speech level was not high enough.
She's funny. If the last time this happened was years ago (how long have you been dating?) it's probably just a phase that will pass soon. If it was an MMO or MOBA I'd be a lot more worried. That's not to say she doesn't need a bit of an intervention if it's causing serious problems in your relationship.
 
I dunno this sounds like addiction. Both with pot and fallout. Seek professional help maybe? I have no idea since i have never been in this situation.

Edit: also from my personal experience the worse i have ever been when i was basically addicted to WC3 dota. Thats what all i did everyday.

Edit 2: as others said maybe shell get sick of it and go back to her normal routine
 
Yeah, PSO on Dreamcast. That was really bad too, but we were young then.

So it does not happen often then? I mean we are talking about what, ten years ago? I would imagine then that this is probably going to pass. Be a good partner, be understanding, cook some dinner, and let it go. I would still tell her how you feel about it all though, just do it in a non-accusatory manner.

i wonder if she is doing this to prove a point, now. where you've ignored her a lot because you've been playing games.


sir, list the games you play/played in the past
 
She just likes to get high and play some fallout. It'll pass. Don't worry about it too much. If a while passes and it's still like this then I can see an issue.

And damn is fallout 3 that good? Skipped it, looks like I gotta play it. I'll let y'all know how it turns out.

It won't be a dysfunctional scenario if a balance is struck between someone who is working/working more and the person who isn't. The latter should pick up more of the slack for stuff that needs to be done in the home. Gender doesn't matter. That's common sense to me.
 
Getting high every day is usually not a good thing.

100%ing Fallout is never a good thing.

If you want to lose her forever, show her Donkey Kong 64.
 
Delete her save files. When she starts another game, delete them again. Continue deleting them. When she questions you just shrug your shoulders and say "Weird, huh!"
