My boyfriend is too into video games!
I've been with my boyfriend for 7 months, but we've known each other for 7 years. On and off. I really love him and all, but he is just too obsessed with playing his video games! When ever i try to talk to him, he doesn't pay attention to me. Just the game! When i suggest to do something together like go out somewhere he would just find an excuse not to go and he'd end up playing his game. I don't know what to do. He is a great boyfriend, but he's starting to play his game almost everyday and its extremely annoying. I've also tried to play with him at one point, but he's just so competitive and we argue over the game and its not healthy. I don't know what to do now :/

Maybe give some free advice about: Love Life?
You don't say how old you are, but the natural fact here is that he is too young psychologically for a real relationship. Therefore, it isn't worth your while to get all that emotionally invested in him, especially as there are probably 20 other guys in your school who would gladly give you more attention and want to do more stuff together. So break up with him. It will teach him a lesson in making choices and you will have an opportunity to find someone who will be more available to you emotionally.

If you don't want to date a child then don't. Your boyfriend is still hung up in video games and when you try to talk to him about his problem he shuts you out. If he really wanted to fix his problem then you would think he would take your concerns into consideration. He is clearly addicted and puts his games before your relationship.
You can try to talk to him when he is not playing his game or ask him if he can shut the damn thing off for 10 minutes so you two can talk. Then you express how you feel that his constant playing of video games is having an effect on your relationship. You feel that you two can't spend quality time together and that you think he should try and work on weaning off the system a little bit. If he doesn't seem to want to hear you out and be reasonable then you know that you aren't his main priority and should probably date someone else who you will be.

Hey,
it is a known fact that most boys love their video games. Try and suggest what you two use to do in together before you were together.
Take care.
