1 in 5 Relationships fail due to gaming habits.

I only get mad if we have plans to be somewhere, I'm ready to go and waiting, and he's still playing. Take a shower, be a grownup, and don't get wrapped up in the game to the point it affects your life.

Also at first I though COD would be too gory for me... I really like it. I just make sure I leave it after awhile, because it is one of those games that gets addictive.

That's just a matter of unwillingness to get with keeping a good schedule.

Time management with gaming is very important especially if it's a separate activity that one will do on their own.

There are times when you can get completely absorbed in a game that hours can go by and you not realize it vs knowing that you have other responsibilities and you need to time yourself accordingly.

What I do like is that newer game systems have timers that people can use to set it so the system will shut down when the alloted time has passed.

I don't have a problem with it, as long as he lets me play too! lol

I do have (guy) friends however who adamently state "If my GF ever asks me to stop playing video games or stop watching porn, i'll drop her like a hot potato." Really?

Have fun with your video games and porn when your a lonely, grouchy old man. Hope they satisfied you better than any woman could

I don't think I would ever ask a man to stop doing either. I might ask him to stop at the moment, so he can sit down and have dinner with me (of course, if it's porn he's watching I suppose I would ask him to wash up first, too), but not stop completely.

Live-in's very good about pausing or stopping the game to eat dinner, and he doesn't rush to eat dinner just so he can get back to the game. But... he likes food more than video games, I guess.

Of course - the porn may creep me out (depending on what he likes to watch) or have other effects on my own love life, it depends on how much it affects me. If it's just a sometimes type of thing, I don't see why not. Just don't admit to me what your freaky ass is watching and/or ask me to go outside my own sexual comfort zone because you saw it in a porno.

Knowing these friends, it's a daily thing. I suspect they watch porn more than they actually have 'relations' (lol) with their gfs. I get it if you are still relatively young. Once you reach 40s even 50s (one of the guys is actually this age....i dont really know him, he's just a friend of a friend) i think it's a little overboard.
