Would you give up video games for your girlfriend? (Page 2)

Question

I wouldn't want him to give them up entirely if he enjoys it, but maybe to just cut back while I'm around... I ask cause I don't think I will ever truly wrap my head around League of Fortnite

Finchie40 · Answer

There is nothing wrong with you asking him that , if he is choosing video games over spending time with you then yes that is an issue

wubbalubbadubdub7 · Answer

I've sold consoles to make my significant other happy. But if it is something that you truly enjoy then you shouldn't have to give something like that up.

Kitten967 · Answer

No i wouldn't and I wouldn't ask them to either. We both enjoy video games so it's not a problem for us

Repa33 · Answer

League of fortnite? You mean league and fornite? I personally wouldn't. Its my biggest hobby and the person i date needs to accept it

Anonymous · Answer

Ugggh hmmm he should naturally stop if you mattered that much to him. But you know his friends usually play too so its like bonding time for them. And you don't want him to choose between one and the other

Wwwyzzerdd · Answer

Giving up any part of a person's life to be with someone who demands those changes doesn't seem like a good partner to begin with. Either she accepts me for who I am or she can go fuck herself, just like every woman expects I treat her.

DamnMan · Answer

Nope. Told my girlfriend from the start that that's part of my personality. If she can't handle, then there is the door.
However, i don't play games that take forever to beat anymore and we play together sometimes.

datgirl · Answer

Honestly I'd probably just end up play video games all day with him too 😂😂😂 but i would also like to do other activities outdoors or indoors or whatever. So, if he ONLY played video games and that was his only hobby I'd get bored of him.

Anonymous · Answer

I would give it up, but how many men would do that... Few.. So dont expect him to do it on his own will.

Dean- · Answer

Its a tough one. Do you guys do anything other than sit inside maybe get a hobbie together like the gym or dog walks something to limit the amount of time he's able to play

Lovvyyy · Answer

I wouldn't impose that to a boyfriend. I wouldn't make him give up on any of his passions. Of course, he if is playing 24/7, that's another story though.

ThePetSquirrel · Answer

No. Most of my friends from school live a good distance away from me now, and other than texting, playing video games is how we keep in touch nowadays.

TheGreatShepherd · Answer

Not at all, purely because of the principle of having to give up something that is in itself harmless and I enjoy. But also because its a vital form of stress release and escapism for me

Gray-Wisp · Answer

If he plays League and Fortnite then he should quit. They're both garbage. Personally though, no as video games will always be there for you and chances are the girl will not.

kalzmali · Answer

Never ever... no one should choose girlfriend for videogames  2 clear reasons for choosing videogames 1. It acts on my finger tips 2. Never stops until im done

Anonymous · Answer

I choose video games over any man on earth. Sorrynotsorry.

DipperChevy · Answer

I honestly love watching my boyfriend play, he has those head sets on and he's hilarious. Just try going down on him, it'll work like the charm!!

7asson · Answer

Once you play League of Legends you can never stop. I personally tried but i always came back to it. Its an addictive game but he can play less if he is titled. Just ask him are you tilted? Or, how many games have you lost cuz of your teammates?

me_who_else · Answer

If he's worth his salt he would, but odds are if he's not purely satisfied with your company you're spending too much time together. Cut back a bit, nothing drastic, just enough to make him look forward to seeing you again.

Prof_Don · Answer

Nobody should give up their favorite hobby, to satisfy a partner. That's just silly.

youngmatureman · Answer

No I would not. Video games are who make me myself and if she doesn't like me for me then she doesn't have to be my girlfriend. Now with that said I can drop a few hours to be with her but I only play like 2 or 3 hours a day

DrkNess · Answer

If me quitting games was a hard demand then I would find someone that likes me as i am. So no

Nuespeed · Answer

If I was asked too yeah I would if I cared enough for her.

stfu314 · Answer

Only if she was willing to give up something that annoyed me that she did a lot as well. Otherwise I feel that it is selfish on the woman's part.

Jjpayne · Answer

Nope, my girlfriend would either have to support be a gamer herself

bridesmaid2018 · Answer

I don't wanna be that girl who makes him give up his hobbies for me, so id let him play them. But I do want him to at least spend some time with me :)

DamnSam · Answer

No, but im not anymore a hardcore-gamer... maybe 2 hours per week, sometimes lesser

mike5150 · Answer

I did for months before and when the relationship didn't last I made sure my next girlfriend was fine with it lol.

VonDamme · Answer

I wouldn't give up Video Games for a boyfriend, so I dunno why a guy would do it for a girl...

TGFH-Satan · Answer

Give up? Hell no. Cut back when she's around? Yea, of course. Altho I'd probably be dating a gamer so that wouldn't really be necessary.

joshb · Answer

League or legends or Fortnite! Clearly he doesn't play them too much infront of you 😉

FýrdracaDócincel · Answer

Wanting your SO to focus on you when you're around is perfectly fine.

anuragk033 · Answer

I would give up anything for her because she's the priority over anything 😊

WompalooSoldier · Answer

I would rather find someone who shares that interest with me, so then I could possibly play with them. But that's just how I am as a geeky person.

StableMind · Answer

I would 9 times out of 10 I play games to kill time I don't need it I could definitely do without it but I do enjoy my games but basically my answer is yes

Namkrow · Answer

Hell no. If she expressed interest in a few games of mine, I'd gladly show her said games and teach her how to play. If not, the most I would do would be to reduce how long I play.

NoBullsh1t · Answer

I have. For a good while (about a year and a half). It wasn't too bad , but eventually I came back. Now, the draw isn't really there anymore though.

Guy2809 · Answer

It's not that I would give them up, id simply prefer to spend time with her rather than on video games. Although if ahe enjoys then too, id play with her.

Leo3572 · Answer

I wouldn't stop it in general but I would take my time for her when she is around. Video games are for days with bad weather, for a lonely and boring evening or to calm down a bit.

JonDoe1985 · Answer

I'd cut back, but not out right give them up. As it is, life already pulls me away from them enough. Still, if I were him, I'd still need to make time for you, too.

DJTheoretical · Answer

I would throw my controller out the window for the girl of my dreams in a heartbeat!

Anonymous · Answer

I wouldn't ask him to, but we may argue a bit if he makes games a priority over real life stuff and we are never together because of it.

rain_maker112 · Answer

Would he quit foot ball for his girlfriend? Hard question

memeho · Answer

Unless if she's giving up something just as important, other than that no.

Why should I have to give up a hobby that relaxes me and makes me happy.

Being an adult means prioritizing, I always make time for family and work and myself as well.

FarmerJoe · Answer

I gave up video games in 20010 and I don't even have a girlfriend. Yes, If I was playing video games I would give them up for my girlfriend.

Commandy1 · Answer

No. Any girl I date would know that games are important to me. I'd would love to find a game that we could play together.

WeirdoWerdo · Answer

Fuck no, my hobby is important... Especially when I'll be a game developer... That's the major I chose so...

LegateLanius · Answer

I would be willing to lessen the amount but since I enjoy it, I would want to compromise. Ideally, I want a girlfriend that games as well.

krowlordz · Answer

No, never, I'd literally dump her if she forces me to give up videogames, I'm fine if she makes me reduce how much I play videogames, but any more that, nope, nada, zip, she's out

doogo · Answer

FUCK NO. unless she wants me to be the next mass shooter, I'm sticking to my Battlefield, Fallout 4, and Injustice. She whoops my ass at Injustice so we're good on the games.

Kpseim · Answer

Well, the problem is not the video games then, is that in the time you are both in the same place u want to spent it together so I suppose to find a common in door hobby or grab a second controller and join the fun haha!

sheppy · Answer

I believe it's one of them things that he'll either grow out of or he doesn't think the world of you. I too have been in a similar situation and I chose my girlfriend. However I'd do anything for her. I still game just not when she's around

triggitybiggity · Answer

No, a person shouldn't give up a hobby for a partner. Although doing anything in the presence of someone without including them is rude in my opinion, so he definitely should be expected to stop with games when he is with you

danyboiiiiii · Answer

I would because I only use games as a way to kill time. On a side note Skyrim is life

Gavyn · Answer

League of Fortnite? Haha. Hahahaha. HA! Errm... excuse me. Anyways, totally.

hansukota · Answer

If my girlfriend asked me to do so id kicks her out and throw all her stuff.

Natsu_Dragneel002 · Answer

That's a pretty hard decision to make. Gaming is something really important. I don't think I'd ever be able to choose between the two

TheFlak38 · Answer

So does this mean I shouldn't play when she wants to spend time with her friends for a while? Of course not.

Anonymous · Answer

I pretty stopped playing video games completely when I got in college. Just rather spend my time exercising and other hobbies.

Funny because when I was a kid I played video games nonstop. Parents absolutely hated it.

Juxtapose · Answer

I would not play video games if I had a girlfriend over unless she was over for days. There are much more entertaining things I can do with her ;)
