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!"
Thread: My Girlfriend Dumped Me Because I Deleted Her Fallout Account
 
Sounds like shes using the game to escape some issues.

I'd have a talk with her, certainly before it reached the level you're telling us in the OP, weeks, wtf!?

I can understand getting addicted to a game but honestly it sounds like she doesn't really take your relationship seriously given how shes responding to your attempts to talk to her.

Not knowing the girl, It sounds like shes straight up a shitty girlfriend. I skimmed the thread but didn't see why she doesn't have a job, was there somewhere that was explained?
 
It will pass. I put a whole summer into that game, got 100% on it to... And I don't regret a second of it, one of the best experiences I've had in video games. But now I don't have the urge to play Fallout at all, took me a period of several months to finish New Vegas just because F3 burnt me out so much and I havent touched either of them since...

Still kinda excited for Fallout 4. And if shes into Fallout this much, don't let her find out about The Elder Scrolls games : P
 
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.

Agreed, did my post come off as though i did not? The person that is not bringing home a monetary salary should do the vast majority of the household work. I just think it is really important if the sole breadwinner also contributes to those household chores.

Yep, I'm out of work right now with a broken leg, so you damn sure bet I'm cooking dinner for when she comes home, doing more around the house responsibilities etc.

It's common sense when you care for the other person. When my GF or I spend too much time on a game instead of our relationship we recognize that and apologize/make up for it.

I do agree with that as you start to feel like a slave to the other person.

Oh definitely. Being the only person doing shit is basically being a live in maid.
 
The number of "it's hot" posts is a bit sad.
Come on gaf, get your raging hormones together.

Op, she behaves like she doesn't care very much, which is worrying...but if it's the 1st time she's so much into a game, I'd say let her do this experience. In the same time, go out and see your friends!
 
Have you tried to take her somewhere fancy to eat or something along those lines? Maybe getting her out of the house will make her realize how neglectful she's been.

How long have you two been together? Is it a serious relationship? Is this the first time something like this has happened?

Theres just too much we don't know about this person honestly. You're going to have to make the decision on how to act here yourself based on your relationship.
 
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 just obviously just in marathon mode.


missed this the first time.

But LOL


you're in the doghouse, bro. you did something to piss her off severely.
 
Yeah, my sister works from home and is the breadwinner. Her boyfriend is out of work but owns the house. He has chef-like cooking skills.

They are homebodies and sit in the same room most of the day to game, watch stuff, listen to music, and play with their cats.

If you're not having fun chilling in the house together and she's not pulling her weight around the house you got to do something, like people have already said.

Get the Lady Killer perk and persuade her to stop.

What the fuck? I seriously would have just reached over and turned off the console at that point.

Don't let her read this thread btw. VirginGAF may think this is cool but it sounds awful, don't let her think she gets off the hook just because she's an oh-so-special "girl gamer".
 
Try talking to her when she's not playing? Catch her before she sleeps/when she's eating maybe? If she pulls the "Your speech level isn't high enough" shit then just put the foot down and confront her (in a caring way). There's no possible way that you do not have any actual chances to just talk to her about it...
 
Could she be trying to suppress or avoid something via obsession? That's what it sounds like.


also smh at the people cheering on this problem.
 
Some times, I'll wake up in the middle of the night, and hear Three Dogs voice. Its the worst shit ever.
Yeah, I'd wake up pretty angry if I hear the AWOOOOO! thing in the middle of the night.

Fucking gamers.

I swear 100% of relationship problems can be solved on gaf if the couple just talks....the hell guys
No, you have to make a thread of it, getting lots of advice, throw a "hit the gym bro", "improve yourself", a few fights and that's it.

Or not, at the end nobody knows if the problem got solved.
 
so she makes awful videogame jokes AND has an awful taste in videogames. sounds like your dating a gaffer, abd that's not a good thing.
 
OP talk to her but don't be a narc about it. Sounds like she just really wants to play F3. Fallout 3 isn't forever. But you and her could be. Also lol at the bong on the table.

This made me bust out laughing just cause his voice came into my head after I read it.

with that said...At least shes not getting stoned every day fucking another guy. Relax bro....women who are gamers, just like guys, can get hooked on certain games.
 
Ok OP I have an idea:

after she's finished playing the fallout games, introduce her to portal. she'll become addicted to playing that too, so one night you come in offering her some food - she'll no doubt make a cake is a lie joke and laugh to her self while taking a large drag on a joint to help her forget how disappointed her parents are in her. You laugh and leave the room.

now your plan requires 2 parts. first you start bringing her cake every night. at first she'll laugh, but just keep bringing her cake every night and make sure she eats it, shouldn't be too difficult if she's always high. eventually she'll be clinically obese, posting on reddit, abd bring up videogame references in normal adult conversation. enough to make even a gaffer blush. one night you walk into that room, the fog from the weed is as heavy metaphor for your own confusion, she'll be making arrow in the knee jokes while playing skyrim. You turn to her and make eye contact while she wipes the Doritos from her brow, and hand her some salt and tell her you no longer want to date a slug.

then you burn the house down.

But when do they do the Mario?
 
Maybe she wants you to break up with her and she's giving you a good excuse because she's too chicken to do it herself? I dunno... something doesn't seem right. :/
 
Depending on how this exactly unfolded, she sounds hilarious.

That actually made me laugh pretty hard too.

I wouldn't worry too much yet. Its her first Bethesda experience. Playing Oblivion for the first time (and Fall Out 3) had a similar hold on me.
 
After finally finishing Fallout 3 my girl bought me for christmas New Vegas. She's nice and all, but god damn i can't get her into Fallout. Tried with the old ones, thought that maybe 3 would work (more actiony, faster and well... graphics). Maybe getting her stoned will work?
