Quick calm me downs.

Clueless83 I wonder how he would react if you started spending a lot of your time outside the house with your other friends or doing other things because you couldn`t stand the noise and it wasn`t much fun to be at home with him. Maybe it would kick him into action…. or then again maybe it wouldn`t, it might be worth a try though.

Oh poor Clueless!! I have to tell you that if my hubby played on the XBox for that amount of time I would have gone bananas a long time ago!! Oh boy! Your b/f sure does get into it, doesn`t he!!!

Amber83- don`t I know it! I do enjoy having time to myself, but after the tenth hour I start to get a bit annoyed because I run out of things to do!lol

Dedide- I wish I could get him some headphones but he has it all hooked up to his surround sound system and apparently this adds to the whole gameing “”effect””…. It`s quite funny really- the speakers have to be placed in the right locations around the room to maximise sound effects and he sits right in front of the TV screen with his little headgear on (resembling a telmarketer). He takes it all so seriously- you would think he was actually saving the world from terrorists, and the language that comes out of his mouth would even make Ozzy Osbourne blush!

Clueless83 are there some sort of headphones you can get him for his b`day or valentines day so you don`t have to listen to it all the time? I wouldn`t be able to handle that!
Goodluck.

you will never come between a guy and his game. i have been with my partner for 5 years, married for 3 and i still can`t drag him away from the computer. even walking in nude doesn`t draw his attention. now i am glad this gives me time for a long hot bath, home facial and time to paint my nails, so look on the bright side and use the time he`s busy to spoil yourself

That`s a long time to be playing xbox and I agree that is a bit excessive…maybe he needs another hobby to fill in his time…or break it up a bit??

That`s a great idea Pretty in Pink, and god knows I have tried to do that and compromise with him but he just wants to play for hours and hours on end and can`t seem to see that playing for 12-14hrs straight is a bit excessive…. he is very stubborn. When he`s working it`s fine because he only plays for a few hours each night but he`s been home for the last six days playing the stupid thing non-stop! I`m going insane!

Poor you clueless! Why is it all boys seem to love their xboxes more than us! hehe. I hope you`ve calmed down a bit. Pretty in pinks advice is good i recon. 🙂

Dear Clueless,
Is there something you like to do that he doesn`t? Maybe you could make a compromise and set aside personal time for him to play xbox while you do whatever it is that you love to do without him. Hope this helps.

I just came on here because I REALLY need to calm down- just had a fight with my bf over the stupidest thing— I HATE xbox… it just gets to be too much after 14hrs of listening to the constant banging, shooting and swearing…. grrr… and when I mention it my bf just rolls his eyes at me!! So annoyed right now…. I just need to breathe >(
