How to get girlfriend to stop complaining about video games?
So i just got all of my college classes done with and I am now doing my (unpaid) internship at the same place my gf works, I don't work around her though. I work 9-5 and by about 8 pm I like to play some COD or something else. My gf always complains or goes to bed when I start playin, so i got her an android tablet for $300. She still complains. She usually says, "let's watch a movie". That's fine with me, I can do that until she goes to bed but the only problem is she's so OCD that she is always doin laundry, cleanin, or somethin else after the movie starts so i usually end up watching it by myself. We have multiple tv's, I really feel she jst doesn't like video games, even though she plays stupid temple run all the time, even during movies. Any opinions?

A relationship is built on compromise. Get used to it or don't have a relationship. That or marry a robot.

She plays temple run... so it's not a complete dislike for video games.

Try some co-op games.

I suspect she wants you to be interested in her. She probably wants to feel like you want to spend time with her and talk to her and make her feel like she did when you first met.

It sucks. "Same ol'" just ain't worth that kind of effort.

It's not about "video games" it's about "games."

The biggest medium at the moment is electronic so that's why video games are the popular format, but since the dawn of civilisation all humans, from kids to adults, rich or poor, from kings to peasants to slaves have always played games of some sort.


You may not play "video games", but I bet you play games of some sort.

So you don't have a paying job, but you do have a girlfriend that you live with...does she pay the bills?

She suggests watching a movie because she wants to spend time with you, and then she realizes how much house work she still needs to do to live a clean and organized life...after a full day work...

And then you wonder why she complains about the video games?

Poor guy, I see a very painful lesson ahead for you.
"Accept now that all you have seen from the day of your birth on the surface of the earth, to the present, are wonderful only because the finite mind of man is confused with fragments of evidence, that, from whatever direction we meet them, spring from an unreachable infinity."

"There was a man who could create what could not be imagined. A temple so great you questioned if it was built with human hands. A man who built an idea into the greatest force the world has ever known. A world built from a single word. I care not for the folly of man but for the end of human contention."

DUDE! don't marry that bitch! She will fucking kill everything you enjoy! Or worse yet she will make you destroy it yourself.
I am married to a bitch like that and I know what happens.
The moment your time and attention isn't spent on her, whatever you are doing becomes her enemy. She is a selfish bitch and she wants to eat your soul!

Re: How to get girlfriend to stop complaining about video games?
It's impossible dude. Years ago my girfriend use to bitch all the time about how much I played. She finally began focusing on the noise/sound. I have a 5.1 surround system and like to play it loud.

So, I finally give in and get a set of good headphones. Things quiet down for while. One night, she locks herself out of the house. I'm playing.......with the headphones on.

I'm on the upper floor and can't hear her pounding on the door. We got into such a huge fight. She was fucking laying into me, i'm trying to defend myself about the headphones that SHE wanted me to use in the first place.

Anyway, we aren't together anymore which is a shame. That was the only point of contention we had with eachother. We got along great otherwise and the sex was awesome!

Crazy bitches are gonna be crazy!

Re: How to get girlfriend to stop complaining about video games?
Break up with her now OP. Or grow up. You won't be able to stay in your arrested development and continue to have an adult relationship.

Your gf will mature beyond you, if you keep playing games. Games are for kids, not adults. Adults play games with kids. Games are make believe. Adults live in the real world. I know this will be an unpopular comment because some folks are addicted to their make believe games.

Reality is so much better, vaster, more colourful and interesting than games could ever be. Physical reality is the ultimate game...you just need to learn how to play it correctly.

Re: How to get girlfriend to stop complaining about video games?
Thanks for all the responses. Someone said something about relationships being compromises and I agree, thats why I am working 9-5 for no pay every day to finish school and she works at a cafe. we have multiple tv and i bought her a $300 tablet so I wouldnt have to deal with that. She just hates sitting there while I play. I tried to get her to play zombies but she is too uncordinated to aim well. I just really hate when she says she wants to watch a movie and then I end up watching by myself bc she is too OCD to sit there. I think after 6 years of college and 9-5 work for no pay i deserve to play a litle bit of video games at night.

Tell her to compromise a little.

You cut down on the video games and she cuts down on the mind games.

Give her a prepaid gift card and tell her there is a sale at bed bath and beyond or how you really think the place would look better with a bunch of scented candles. You won't see her for days.
