A few days ago my girlfriend got Skyrim. I found out that she got it when I got home from shopping for her valentine's day card. So I was only going to be home for about an hour before I had to go back out again. I told her that I'd be waiting in another game for her. She said she'd be there in just a second. So I waited, and waited, and waited. She sat there totally silent and braindead. So absorbed in that game that she completely forgot I was there for 45 minutes. Once she remembered I was waiting for her, she spent the next 10 minutes appologizing (while still playing skyrim) And when I only had 5 minutes left, she finally pryed herself away and asked me what I wanted to do.
I got home later than night and got on xbox again. She was still playing skyrim and it still took her 10 minutes to break away. She joined me on Halo Reach and after a few minutes she realized that I was kind of depressed. She asked me why, and when I explained that it was because she was addicted to that game, she lashed out at me. She told me that she wasnt addicted, she just really wanted to beat it. When I tried to explain that what she said wasnt a very good arguement, she demanded that I was wrong and that she wasnt addicted. We fought for 3 solid hours before going to bed.
I got home from school the second day. I texted her 2 minutes before I got online saying that I would be there in a moment. She said that she would be getting online as well. When I got on, she was once again in skyrim. In the all of 2 minutes that I wasnt there, she wanted to see how far she could get before I got on. Once again we fought for hours. Between her demanding that I was wrong about her being addicted, and then asking why I was feeling more and more depressed. Only to yell at me more when I told her why. She had to get off early that night, so I stayed online and talked to a few of our mutual friends about it. The only arguement that any of them could present for why I shouldnt be so offended, WAS THAT PEOPLE GET ADDICTED TO IT.
The third day we went straight into fighting. We fought for a good long time before she said she had to get offline early. She wanted to get off because her dad was asking her about that new game she got (aka skyrim) and that she wanted to leave so she could go show it to him.
Later that night I called her and explained that whether or not she was addicted, the fact was that that game was driving a wedge between us. It was turning into a cancer in our relationship and even though it conflicted me to say it, I either wanted it gone, or I would leaver her alone until she had her fill. She told me that she would only play it until I got online. And that she would only play the main story. She wouldnt do any of the side quests. We agreed to this, even though it left an uneasy feeling in my stomach.
So today, we were texting while I was running a few errands before I went home. She knew I would be a little late and promissed to be off skyrim at 5. When I got home I decided not to give her a warning that I was getting online. I jumped on and checked her profile. I caught her nearly a half hour after she promised she would get off, scrambling to save so I wouldnt see that she was still on. (she lied about limiting herself).
Then twice today, while we were talking, she started asking other friends about how to complete certain side quests. (she lied about only doing the main story).
So to make a long story short, I went back to my original offer. I'm not getting on xbox tomorrow. I'm leaving her alone so she can be with her addiction. It obviously means so much to her. Fuck this shit. Let her rot infront for all I care. She's made her priorities painfully clear. -
That does suck:[
-
Give her a reality check. Tell her how this makes you feel (as in major lecture). Don't text, talk in person.....texting just makes it worse.

Oh my gosh. I'm so sorry. It's really crappy that games can be so addicting. Best of luck...

pheonix, she lives 800 miles away. Phones and xbox live are the only forms of communication we have.

;A; I'm sorry bro. *hugs* I hope the best?
Honestly, who chooses a video game over an actual relationship, though? I'd give up creepypasta in an instant if it were destroying something as valuable as that (and that says a lot.)
