writes:Well, I have another problem with my boyfriend. Ever since I have known him he has been into computer games big time. He doesnt work right now so lately (the past for months) all he does from the minute he wakes up to the time he goes to sleep, is play he games. He doesnt like to do anything that involves going outside of the house. How do i get him not to play so much??

He reads everything and anything that he can get hold of even the life history of some of the actors in CSI!!!! I cannot understand it either, but what can you do. Your is into the games side which mine isnt. You need to try to gradually prize him off there by arranging maybe a trip out. Even a few hours round the shops. What kind of things, other than computer games does he like? See if there is a hobby that you can both do together. I am trying to work on that one myself. I came up with the idea of going to salsa dancing classes but i cannot find any in our area, but he has agreed to go. I hope you can come up with something soon, if you do, let me know.
Take care.

 I played online games for 3 years everyday.sleep eat play...was really sad. I never had a job or nothing. I eventually got bored though. i Can honestly say there is no way someone couldve helped me get off it. But i now got a job and i decided to do all the things that made me happy before i played which included being with old friends and being the old party animal i used to be!
Game addiction was one of the hardest things iv ever left behind in my whole life. I would never admit that to anyone i know in real as it is embarasing. You wouldnt know how bad it can mentally get you till you have done it and the funny thing is at the time you think everything is fine and great but it really isnt.
Just try get him out.do things he likes to do offline.Thats all i can say. I really hope things improve for you. I know how you feel 100% message me if anythin changes! :)
Good luck

 well this is a problem that has destroyed many of my friends relationships and to be honest we havent figured anything out other than to express your feelings to your boyfriend and tell him exactly how you feel and make sure he knows it bothers you. and if that fails then you might just wanna give him a reason to stay off the computer
