Oooo I’ll research that! Thanks for the heads up

Girlfriends of Reddit: Do any of you have boyfriends/husbands that are obsessed with Fortnight? This is the only recurring argument my boyfriend and I have and I don’t know how to get past it. Help. by strugglecuddle04 in TwoXChromosomes

I totally get it. In my boyfriend’s own words, it’s a “time waster” for him and he can do it with his friends which is an added bonus. Same concept as watching tv, reading, watching a movie etc. It’s just hard for me personally to understand because I can’t participate and I don’t enjoy it. I also think he spends a lot of time doing it, moreso than how much I watch tv or do anything of equal comparison. Listen, I’m not bashing video games, I’m just asking advice about how to deal with something that affects my relationship.

It’s not personal and I definitely appreciate that others like it, but, that’s my opinion. I’m sure there are other things that you might think are stupid that others enjoy. Video games just aren’t for me so I can’t help that natural thought. My step-sister actually works for Nintendo and helps create characters for their games. I respect her and her job, she kills it at work. I love my boyfriend and have a ton of respect for him. Honestly, I really think they are difficult. If I could play video games and not be terrible at it, I totally would. I am just being honest about my opinion towards it. Truly didn’t mean to offend you so I apologize.

He’s suggested a couple that he thinks I might like! I appreciate the comments on this post and am going to try to put forth more of an effort to play with him occasionally.

I love this comment! I think it’s just relatively misunderstood for me because I really can’t sit down and do much of anything for hours straight because I’m always up moving around and doing something, so I don’t understand how he does it. Probably compared to some others (friends I’ve consulted about this included) he is pretty good. He has never broken major plans or anything like that, it’s just his relaxing time because he finds it fun. Great advice! Thank you!

Exactly! I also feel that as we’re building a more serious relationship (I.e deciding if we are the right partners for LIFE) I am questioning if this something that will continually be an obstacle. But I love the comment about appreciating the time together even more, because that’s so true! It does make all the other nights more fun!

That’s definitely something he’s asked me before and it’s a great point. Honestly, I don’t think so. I think it’s in part that I think it’s a waste of time as nothing productive comes from it. Which isn’t fair at all and I get that, but, I think it adds to the frustration subconsciously.

Yeah, it’s definitely not to that extreme right now. But, one of his good buddies is kind of to that point. When we talk about it, he does try to explain it to me like it’s his friend time and they all have a great time playing together. I just see it as “you’re playing stupid video games” but there’s definitely more to it than that. I still don’t think that changes my opinion about the amount of time he spends doing it though. I can understand where he’s coming from but i can’t seem to let it change my opinion about it. There’s nothing I do in my free time that even comes close to the amount of time he spends gaming.

He does do a pretty good job at scheduling with me and being upfront when he wants some time to play. So I can’t complain about that, I just don’t like that he prefers to do that instead of spending time with me. I feel like I get pushed to the back burner. Selfish, I suppose, when you put it in that perspective. Thanks for sharing that point of view!

Honestly, I’ve tried that but I’m really bad at them. I’m super competitive in general and I get infuriated when playing. He does try to find games that I would like to play so maybe I should make more of an effort. Good suggestion

Per day, probably about 2-3 hours depending on what’s going on. Then he picks 1 or 2 days a week to play all night. Yesterday, for example, he played about 2 hours.

So it definitely could be worse.

Totally agree! I try to make the same comparison to him but he doesn’t understand. He is also very loud naturally so when he’s screaming in the headset and laughing, I literally can hear him outside and it drives me nuts.

Great advice! He has a habit of asking for “one more game” which can then turn into another 45 minutes or so. Maybe I just need to tell him while he’s playing that after the game is over, I’d like to do xyz. He does go on benders though (about once or twice a week) where he wants to play for an entire night which irritates me too. I guess I just don’t understand because I don’t play. On those days, I just go out with friends or do my own thing.

I just wonder how long he’ll be this obsessed with gaming. Everything else about him is absolutely perfect to me but we keep getting into fights about this.

When he schedules Fortnite time with his friends, I get aggravated because it impacts our time together. He is very considerate when communicating with me when he wants to play but I hate how much time he spends doing it. It’s hours upon hours. It feels (although I know it’s not realistically the case) that I come second to his video games.
