It is almost impossible to change a man. To change a man, he must want to change. Your boyfriend is just spending time on the video games. You've already spoken to him about it, and nothing has changed. Now it's ultimatum time. It's either spend more time with you, or you'll leave. And mean it. Don't be second best to a computer.

If ur thinking about leaving him over the fact that he's obstessed with videogames then u really arent taking ur relationship serious. If u want to spend time with him get into the things he's into. sit down and play the game with him. U want him to be into some of the things u like right? Then u have to do the same with him. Its a two-way street. Try it u might actually like it.

My husband used to do the same thing. Find something you both can do. watch a movie. play board games; sex games... or learn how to play his game and ask him if you can play too? Some thing your both interested in. He needs his time too. remember that. If you've talked to him and he won't change it might be because he doesn't want to be controlled. If you say, "game or me.. " pretty much. your controlling. If you can't handle it anymore.. LEAVE. or deal with it and be unhappy. your choice.

Laura1318 agony auntHe is addicted to those games. The only way to want them to kick those games is threatened to leave them and go find another b/f.

If they won't give up, you need to give them up. This is the only way they can understand. Talking to them is useless and a waste of time only.
