datura_noir Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 With "Call of Duty 4"! I can't believe I've been replaced by a game! Seriously, he's really into it, he says it helps him unwind from stress at work. I have tried playing with him, but can't get the controls thing to work in my favor. I'm thinking of putting a moratorium on his time spent playing. Although I do understand the draw (for a male), I feel invisible at times. The only time he notices me is when I walk in front of the TV and mess up his line of sight! Help!
jwi71 Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 The only time he notices me is when I walk in front of the TV and mess up his line of sight! Help! Oh...I see. (pun intended) The problem is, of course, you. You see (again, the pun), when you walk in front of the TV you were wearing clothes. Try again. Oh...but omit the clothing this time. All of it. I bet he notices THEN. (I did and I'm not even there)

(I did and I'm not even there) Yeah, sometimes that doesn't even work, believe me. My ex spent the majority of his time at the start of our relationship with his xbox. The hours I spent watching him play whatever game, we'd go to his friends and I'd spend hours watching the same thing, exciting. I found loveshack and had a way to entertain myself. He ended up getting pissy with how much time I spent on here, ironic huh. Never again....
SarahRose Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 Find something else to do. Go somewhere and leave him sitting there with his game to keep him company
TinyLee222 Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 Find something else to do. Go somewhere and leave him sitting there with his game to keep him company Yep, have to agree with this. Get yourself dressed up doesn't matter where you are going say goodbye and tell him you are going out for a while. Do this a couple of nights and if he doesn't stop with the game he may have a problem with it. Hopefully that will shake him up a bit. If not, you guys really need to talk. It may be an addiction on his part. Lee
