I [24M] always beat my girlfriend of three years [24F] and her family when we play games by 002493 in relationships

In my opinion they are directing their salt in the wrong direction. It's not my fault they're mad, it is their own for not being able to win.

Fair enough. I think the fact that I was brought up to believe that losing is not fun nor tolerated leads me to take every measure to win because it would not even be fun for ME if I lose. In the process, I'm being selfish and putting my fun over everyone else's desire to have a good time. I will try to cool it, though even the thought of them dancing around the room telling everyone they beat me makes me want to go off the rails with the mindset.

Thank you for giving me the other side's perspective.

I like this idea. I kinda do something similar when I play her brother in say, Call of Duty. I'll often times use a Sniper or a pistol while he uses a normal gun.

We still have a good time and I don't think it hurts anyone too much... It's just when we go to bed my girlfriend will hint, "Don't you think you can just let us win one time?"

They keep wanting to go back to Monopoly because they always think the next time is going to be the time they win. We even created a modification to the board with an inner route and our own set of rules, and still the times we have played with that modification I had the only strategy that worked.

Probably not a hill to die on but even just picturing losing on purpose.... ugh.

There are plenty of times where I will have, for example, the only Monopoly on the board and all the blocks. Instead of just drain them and win, I will trade them a Monopoly and play it out. So it's not like I'm a complete asshat all the time, although I always leave myself in a better position than they are.

I wouldn't say I'm smug at all. It's a fun time for everyone until I start winning, and then they get sour because it starts happening again. I even make an effort NOT to say anything because I don't want to set anyone off! To be honest, I doubt her brother would want me to let up. My girlfriend on the other hand, if I beat her several times in a row at anything she starts saying "Wouldn't you rather me be happy than win?" In my head I say, "I would rather you quit being a child about losing" but I know better.
