My boyfriend gets mad at me when we play video games together!

[Anonymous]

Okay, my boyfriend is awesome for playing video games because I love to do that also. But there's times when he gets too seriously damn mad! If I'm kicking his butt non stop, he flips and doesn't want to anymore. I never get upset when I lose I just laugh and have fun. If were playing as a team it's all good and fun. But if I'm new at it or forget the controls for that game he gets itrritated and mad quickly.
I've apologized and told him not to get so angry! You know? But I guess he still does. Has anyone else experienced this? And how they were able to approach this and solve the problem? I love playing with him, it's a big thing we share. I'm a gamer and I'll never stop. He won't either. His temper makes me not want to play with him anymore. But I want to.

Yikes! I don't know. I play games too, and every angry gamer I met... never changed. My best friends get real upset after a losing streak, so it takes a few losses before they flip out but they're really good so it doesn't happen too often. You might have a chance at changing how he reacts to losing to you in particular. Since you're his girlfriend you should have a shot at getting special treatment. Maybe you can "reward" him when he loses if you know what I mean.

I don't thin he'll stop that behavior without reinforcement.
When you're passionate about something, you'll let your anger get the best of you. Especially if you're not as good.

He needs some good ol' rehabilitation. Something he's done all his life needs to stop, or his woman will cut the plug

Whenever he starts to get mad, give him a kiss and tell him to cool down and laugh sorta. He shouldn't be getting his mad lol.

He's a sore loser? Just give him a hug and kiss and tell him it will be alright and you will give him time to practice.
