Boyfriends obsessed with video games. Hey Buffalo Bill, I love your podcast and
I'm a huge fan.
My boyfriend and I love, both love to listen to your rants about whatever
bullshit comes to mind.
I myself have ADD and can find myself rambling about something completely
different than whatever it was I started to ramble about.
Anyway, my boyfriend has always been a huge fan of video games and he can play
them all day if he could.
More recently, he has been obsessed with one game in particular for the last
eight plus month and has really put a strain on our relationship.
He will turn on his Xbox from the second he gets home until about four hours
before he has worked the next morning.
Jesus.
So we pretty much spend no time together unless it's me watching him play with
his friends.
He talks to his friends while he plays online, in which case, even if I do say
something to him,
he either doesn't hear me or just ignores me.
I've tried talking to him about it and he refuses to change or compromise.
It's even started to affect our sex life.
Well, I imagine it would because he has no time for sexy time.
We are both still young and in our late 20s and I hate that I'm practically
begging him to turn off the game so we can canoodle in the sheets.
I've been contemplating just breaking off our relationship of five plus years
because it's been this way for months and it has only gotten worse.
I'd love to hear what the wise Nia has to say as well.
Thanks for all the good laughs and congratulations on both of you's on the new
baby birth.
Thank you.
Unfortunately, Nia's not here.
Let me see if I can get her.
Hold on one second.
Okay, she's on her way down.
I would say, first of all, you've been together for five plus years.
Initially, my first thought when you were doing this is what I would do if if
what would get make me pay attention is I would just start going out with your
friends and just start wearing fucking sexy outfits and shit.
And he'll get the message immediately if you walk out the door looking good and
he's sitting there fucking playing video games and stuff.
And he if he doesn't get that hint, then, yeah, you got to be thinking like,
well, what the this guy's just this guy's more interested in this shit than
than what I'm doing over here with my fucking Christmas leggings going out to a
Christmas party.
Dressed like a fucking hot piece of ass over here.
That's that's what the fuck I would do.
You've already tried to talk to him.
I got to be honest with you.
I understand people becoming obsessed with video games.
It's why I don't play them.
But to me, this I'm a bit of a cunt when it comes to video games.
To me, that's that's a child activity.
You know what I mean?
Like, what is this person working towards?
What do they have for a fucking job?
They come home from their job and they just play a video game for the whole
fucking rest of the day.
It does not sound like a driven man.
That's another fucking red flag.
So that's what I would I would just start building a life.
Initially, I would start building a life without him to see if he notices and
maybe you guys can get back to where you were.
Or if he doesn't notice, then you already have a head start on getting the fuck
away from this guy.
So the lovely Nia is here.
I'm going to hit pause and let her read this email or if you just want to.
You can just read this while I continue to ramble here.
It starts right here.
My boyfriend's been a fan of the video games, yada, yada, yada and all that
shit.
So that's that's basically that's what I would do.
And as I mentioned a long time ago, the last video game that I played was Grand
Theft Auto 3 and it literally consumed my life.
I would be walking to the comedy clubs, and I would be thinking about the game
when I wasn't even I wasn't even at home.
I'd be waiting to go on stage thinking about, OK, you know, I'll finish this
set and I'll go home and I'll use the cheats and I'll just go on a fucking rampage
and all that shit.
And it just kind of took over my life.
So here's the lovely Nia with her advice.
Oh, first of all, can I just say that this problem really sucks and it's really
annoying and that you're both in your 20s and he's like addicted to playing
video games.
I'm sorry, but that's a lame ass and you need to move on.
Seriously.
Five years, five plus years.
It's been this way for months and it's only gotten worse.
Yeah.
You said you tried to talk to him about it and he refuses to change or
compromise.
Well, it's just, yeah.
He obviously has priorities for this video game.
I don't know if he is there something else going on in your relationship or did
he have some kind of.
Something bad happened recently that he doesn't want to deal with or something
and that's why he's so consumed by the video games because I'm just trying to
think like what normal, healthy, happy person just all of a sudden.
Doesn't want to bang his broad.
Yeah, and hands over his life to a video game.
Like I feel like something happened and he's not able to like.
But you talk too quietly.
Okay, because you're sticking it in my face like.
Well, because you do this and you start talking all the way over here and the
people can't hear you.
Oh, okay.
I'm looking at the levels here.
Oh, all right.
Sorry, that's all right.
Yeah, I would not necessarily say, listen, it's the video games or me, but you
can just say something along those lines of like, listen, I feel like I'm not a
priority in your life.
And if that's the case, then we really need to talk about this relationship
because if you're not into it, then just let me go so I can find somebody who's
into me and is going to pay attention to me and not their Xbox.
This is what I was saying she should do.
She should just fucking dress like a whore and go out that night and just see
if he notices, like just have like fucking, you know, the fucking thigh highs
on and all that shit.
If he doesn't get it, then thigh highs.
Yeah.
Just dress like a fucking whore.
What do you mean thigh highs?
There's stockings.
They go up to your thighs and then they stop and there's this glorious little
fucking hint of leg.
You're so old that you feel like women are going out and like thigh highs, like
they're like saloon mistresses, like on Westworld.
Why?
Because I came of age in the 1800s?
Why are you acting like you guys don't always whore it up every fucking holiday?
You whore it up on your birthday.
You whore it up on Halloween.
You whore it up on Christmas.
Sex it up.
It's called being sexy.
Sexing it up.
Sexing it up, putting your clam on the fucking platter.
That's what you guys do.
It's different.
Titties out, clam peeking out from underneath the sheet.
No, because I don't believe in that passive aggressive shit.
It's just like, listen, motherfucker, are you into this or not?
Because if not, then I need to move on.
The thing is, though, honey, he's made his choice.
That's what I think that you don't necessarily want to fully admit to.
He's made his choice.
He's more interested in the video game for whatever reason.
He won't talk about it.
He won't compromise.
He's made his choice.
Maybe he's not into the relationship anymore.
Is that a possibility?
Is it a possibility that he...
Maybe she needs to whore it up.
She's saying she's trying to beg him to even have sex, which is ridiculous.
It could be that he is just not into the relationship anymore.
And he's such a fucking pussy-ass puss that he's waiting for you to be the one
to dump him.
Because a lot of people do that.
A pussy-ass puss?
What is this?
I don't even know.
But some people, they don't want to be the bad guy or they're just immature and
cowardly.
So they don't want to say, listen, I think we should break up because they feel
guilty because it's been five plus years.
So they do shit like this to make you be the one to break up with them because
they're cowards.
You know what I mean?
So it is possible to...
So in conclusion, what are you saying?
I'd say dump his ass.
Bye.
There you go.
All right.
See you then.
