Such a stupid question..

    Okay, I've only been with my boyfriend for 4 months now or so. Anyways, he plays this online computer game or something, I don't really understand how it works (it's called world of warcraft). He tends to base his plans with me around when he "needs" to be on this game.

    I know this is stupid, but I should I be offended by this? Or am I just being overly sensitive to this situation?-- I have been known to do that before.

    My ex-boyfriend was such a serious gamer and I use to get so sick of hearing about this game because he would always be on it and whenever we both were on MSN, he wouldn't talk to me because he was playing his game which obviously he considered to be more important. I never did tell him how much I loathed his obsession but it always got to me...I don't think that this is a stupid question and you should feel sensitive about this and I think you should let your boyfriend know how you feel, he may not realise that you feel like this

    Thank you.

    I've tried hinting that I get a little offended when he does that, but he's so clueless. I wasn't sure if I should tell him flat out because I thought maybe I would be making a big deal out of nothing.

    Nah , I don't think you're making a big deal. I use to feel 2nd best to my ex's computer games but I never said anything.

    I actually have a friend, he's a guy, and he plays World of Warkraft, also called WoW.
    It is kinda cool if you get into it.
    Maybe you could try to play with him once or twice, and see what you think.
    And a lot of poeple are addicted to this game, so maybe thats why. I am positive he likes you alot!

    I agree with Angel Of Secrets.
    Marcus always wanted to play the playstation but after i asked him to lavish attention on me (in a playful way) he asked me to join in..... and i liked it.
    So you never know, he might convert you =)

    I have watched him play this WoW game a few times, and to be honest it is the most confusing thing I have seen in my life. I really wish I could make myself enjoy the game, but I don't know if I can.

    I would love to be "converted" though, it would make things so much easier.

    Angel Of Secrets- I know that he likes me a lot, we are very close, sometimes I just wonder where I fit in compared to that game.

    Again, I could be acting way too sensitive to this, it's just happened several times.

    Darien says that cuz he's a guyyy! humph*
    nah i know i would be annoyed by this too if my man was doin that. instead i would try to figure out the game, and ignore him the same. then maybe he'll wonder why im being that way lol... nah but that's just me u see. do what u think is best.

    Thanks to everyone who replied.

    He had told me earlier in the week that he was "ditching" on Friday (yesterday), to play his game. But then he called and asked if I would go out somewhere with him instead, because we haven't hung out with just us for a while (only like 4 days.. but still).

    So that was really nice to hear, and even though he didn't even know I was a little hurt over it, I felt bad for being like that.

    And by the way, I don't get that game thing that Angelina Taylor mentionned. Any guys care to explain what it is about these games? :S

    *ugh* I went through the same thing... a very similar game too! Guild Wars was my ex's secret passion... He would always play while I was on the phone with him... It got annoying fast!! though we broke up for other reasons, i wanted him to stop...I would try talking to him calmly about it. face to face. Explain your feelings and ask him if he can make specific time for you and for his game separately. if he freaks out, move on! there are guys that will pay more attention to you. They are out there! Maybe, he doens't realize how you really feel. Boys can't read girl's minds, they can barely read their own. ;]

    Guys are like that. I've gone through it, only it was skateboarding, which is cool because i like skateboarding as well. You just need to let him play his game. Let him be a guy. Don't get too upset. Be happy he cares about you, and spends time with you. It could be worse.

    We actually had a great talk about this, and it wasn't even me who started it. I'm a little more optimistic towards this whole thing now-- he really is great for me.

    And at least he doesn't play it for 17 hours straight like he used to, lol.
