I lie to my husband to get him off his video game.

I get it. A lot of girlfriends don't understand gaming and get pissy. But I'm raised a gamer, I get spending loads kf your time on games and I love them too. I wouldn't want to take gaming from him. If I could play, I would probably play it for hours too..

But this dude will wake up at 10am, watch OW videos the first thing then go play the game literally (I'm 100% not exaggerating) until 2am in the morning, if I let him, non-stop. He takes bathroom breaks but doesn't even make his own food usually. When he was a kid, he'd barely eat anything but two hot pockets a day.

When its during the week, he'll go to school but he blows off projects, homework, classes so he can play. He's even blown off the gym since he started playing and he use to look like a professional body builder. He's still a beautiful as ever but he's lost nearly all of his gains..

I've talked to him about how I feel. But at this point it really isn't so much about spending quality time with him. I'm genuinely worried about him. I had a cautious feeling when I showed him the game but thought that if he could overcome his addiction once, maybe he could be more disciplined now that he's matured. If I knew it would be such a problem, I would never has encouraged this.

Anyway, I love gaming and I want him to have fun/destress... but he actually doesn't even like the game anymore and it makes him such an asshole because he gets so wrapped up in it and it stresses him out. The total opposite of what recreational gaming is suppose to do.
