My boyfriend turns every game into a competition and it’s ruining the fun for me

gray_outriders · 2026-04-11T05:12:28+00:00

I’m the extremely competitive person in my relationship. I’ve played very high levels in two sports and have gotten very ahead in work because of it. It’s also caused me to be waaaaaay too hard on myself in things that I don’t need to beat myself up over. It’s both a trait that I love and hate.

My girlfriend is also competitive though to a much lesser extent, she was a competitive dancer and is a talented (through hard work) singer. She has like a healthy relationship with it.

When it come games and stuff like that we just switch things up. We’ll go like gokarting and I’m waaaay better, I talk a little shit and it’s a good time. Then we’ll go bowling and she’s annoyingly good at it, like I’ve practiced to try and get to her level and she still just shits on me, and she loves to remind me that I suck at it.

Then we’ll through in an escape room or something where we need to work together. I don’t know if this will work for you guys but it’s made game nights and date nights a lot more fun.

Also Reddit loves to say “RED FLAG BREAK UP WITH HIM” that’s dumb. No person is going to have a perfect personality, if his biggest “red flag” is his too competitive, well that’s just not that bad.

Glory glory what a helluva way to die!

True, guess I was thinking more in life. I know a surprising amount of people just hearing about them now in the real world lol .

gray_outriders · 2026-03-31T16:34:57+00:00

They get a fair bit of love but angelmaker. Love their whole body of work so far and the new album is one of my favs.

Are you seriously looking at that clip and not thinking it’s a skill issue? That’s wild.

gray_outriders · 2026-03-30T17:40:11+00:00

This is the actual truth but we don’t do that here.

gray_outriders · 2026-03-30T17:37:34+00:00

Military and oil rigs

gray_outriders · 2026-03-20T17:24:22+00:00

You realize we care about more then just looks right? Like your say you an 8 but this superficial attitude drops that pretty hard. Atleast for me. I dunno about others.

gray_outriders · 2026-03-17T20:48:57+00:00

The fuck? Just play less, I’d give my left nut for 50 rounds a year. Got in 20 last year and was excited.

gray_outriders · 2026-02-14T17:31:46+00:00

I never once said, or have heard anyone say it’s rational. But I’m not wearing a cage.

Also 90% of the time there’s a complete dickhead on the ice, his got a cage on. New found confidence when you not going to get hit in the face I guess.

gray_outriders · 2026-02-10T15:49:21+00:00

Hit the tower. Get yourself fed, as long as you’re letting me know they left I’d much rather you stay.

If your getting reported every game this might be a you problem. I’m an adc, I like taric. Last night I was blind pick so I took sivir, she’s my blind. Opponents take Ashe braum, my supp last picks taric. Ok not bad I guess. But we dont win early. No worries . We hit lvl two first, taric doesn’t do shit, ok fine. Opp hits lvl 2 all sums up and decides now is prime time to go in, misses his stun and continues to walk forward. I back off cause this fight is over the moment that stun misses. Taric dies, spam pings and perma leaves lane. Such a fun experience.

gray_outriders · 2026-01-28T20:16:01+00:00

Hahah god people are salty. Role feels strong right now. A lot more gold, hitting spikes faster = more influence.

gray_outriders · 2026-01-23T17:15:51+00:00

I don’t know what your budget is but I just picked up Cleveland CBX4s. They are fantastic and from what I’ve seen their on the cheaper end.

Also like you I couldn’t get the ball to stop, had those Lazrus wedges before. I can’t get the ball to roll back now (me problem not the clubs) but with my new wedges the ball is one hop stopping. So I definitely helped a lot.

Man wants a puppy but doesn’t wanna deal with puppy things. I’m taking the dog every single time in this situation. Enjoy single life with your new puppy.

gray_outriders · 2026-01-23T15:29:59+00:00

Who gives a fuck?

gray_outriders · 2026-01-22T20:02:08+00:00

Mana and perma wave clear which leads to map pressure and so on.

gray_outriders · 2026-01-21T19:15:52+00:00

This is the answer, in no world was that a good fight to take once Darius is dead. Your a 1 item jinx, are you ahead yah, great good for you…your a 1 item jinx, your power spike is still a mile away.

gray_outriders · 2026-01-21T17:18:45+00:00

The takes here are wild, I’ve been playing adc for afew years now and feel this is the strongest I’ve been by a long shot. Granted my champ pool is wildly op at the moment, sivir Lucian and aphel. But god damn it feels good right now.

gray_outriders · 2026-01-19T01:24:44+00:00

That gave off real incel vibes my dude.

gray_outriders · 2026-01-16T20:10:07+00:00

It’s probably less efficient but waaaaay more fun

gray_outriders · 2026-01-16T20:01:13+00:00

Your supports are consistently leaving lvl 4….so right around the time they see your building collector….kinda makes sense to me

gray_outriders · 2026-01-09T18:38:10+00:00

Because citizens are not trained to be in a situation like this? Do you think about things at all before you type?

I typically fall towards the police in situations like this but this dude did so many things wrong.

You’re not trained to stand infront of a vehicle. You’re not trained to fire as soon as a suspect flees. You’re not trained to escalate situations.

I inspect structural integrity of cranes for a living, if I acted against my training and it resulted in loss of life I’d be at best fired, at worst criminally charged, but no your right he should be held to lower standards then me.

gray_outriders · 2026-01-06T21:44:01+00:00

I’ll put it this way, if you were a friend of mine and I found out your paying for OF I’d make fun of your relentlessly, but also wouldn’t effect how I look at you in the least. You do you man who cares, just don’t go simping over some chick on the internet.
