If guys can't manage their relationships because of a mediocre game like San Andreas then they should be fucking shot. I can understand some Prime 2, but not that lame shit.

" I gave him a simple option: "Buy a new console, get yourself a new girlfriend." I think he got the point. "
I wonder how that new girlfriend hunting is going for him?

Damn, I should've changed Prime 2 to Halo 2. My mistake. I'm just trying to spread my angst across the world. Happy holidays.Amir0x said:

I've run into this situation many a time. Basically I try to prep my girl weeks ahead of the game's release date. But it doesn't always turn out pretty. As much as my girlfriend knew I was anticipating Prime 2, I had to feel this constant guilt trip the entire time I was playing. But maybe that's the most severe example. Most of the time I just stop playing before bedtime.moondance said:
It's easier to find another girl than it is to cut games out of ones life. I wouldn't ask my girlfriend to stop buy Coach, Louis Vuiton or Bobbie Brown just because it takes up so much of her time and money.

It depends. If you are playing videogames at such a level that you are neglecting those around you and your responsibilities, then it definitely might be best to compromise and lean yourself off of videogames somewhat. Playing Everquest for over 8 hours a day, for instance, is like having a full time job - 56 hours a week.
If you truly love your significant other, or anyone who is complaining about obsessive videogaming habits, make sure you discuss it and then be honest with yourself.

FFIX is just as bad. One girl in my class simply stopped coming to class after this game debuted. I mean, for the years before she was always attentive, and never missed a day. But after that BOOM and she was gone. But on the days that she did straggle in all she would fucking go on about was that lame nerd game. I'm surprised those MMO game's don't come under more fire than they already do. It's like fucking crack. At least a game like San Andreas and Prime 2 have an end. And you can enjoy the catharsis of your actions.

It will sound geek but I made it clear to my gf that I liked videogames and that I wouldn't "stop playing for her". If my gf complains that I am playing games too much is because she cannot take care of herself, like having activities on her own.
Of course, I am able to stop playing and care about important stuff (gf, work, taking care of the house, etc...) but those "widows" simply cannot manage their love life or simply their own life.

I can actually sympathise with these women since my gf has been sucked into WoW ... The game didn't grab me the way it grabed hold of her, she made a character on my account and went to town.
I've since gotten her a 2 month subscription card for x-mass for her to use however she pleases...
It's not putting too much of a damper on the relationship, since it is X-mass and there's so many games for me to dabble in with my extra time :lol .... And we do hold our responsabilities and chores before our gaming... But it does suck going to bed w/out her sometimes.
She's always been amazingly supportive of the fact that gaming is my passion and now my work .... We just got outa school and are new to supporting ourselves... so we're just seeing where it goes, since she'll be working in the industry with me soon.
But all in all, and being as honest as I can be ... It does suck more than I would think having to go to sleep alone, while someone is playing games 'till 3am ... I don't care how much of a pussy that makes me! :lol

It's like any other hobby. You simply manage it well and all is ok. But the bottom line in relationships like those shown above is that the two people probably weren't right for each other in the first place. If the guy wants to avoid his wife that badly, he probably doesn't really want to be around her so much to start with.
The Sex and the City comment was actually very right on.
