So, my boyfriend is so amazingly addicted to Call of Duty, and if we are ever at his house he's playing it. How can I get him to get off it when I'm there?! Yeah I know I can seduce him, which I do, and it works great, but then when things are over, he'll go right back to playing it! lol. So I try to avoid going to his house cuz of it, but then he gets mad at me and complains about how he ALWAYS comes to my house, and how expensive it is to fuel his truck driving to and fro. So, what is it I can say or do, other than a breakup threat, to get him to stop playing it?!
 
Fed up!

Honey, I do not know how old you are or how old the boyfriend is, but this is what I am going through and I am 42, and have a husband who goes down in the basement to play this game
all the time.. and he even skipped work today to do it! Quite frankly at this age, I am FED UP. He will be nice to me and then go down and play for a few hours, come back up and be nice again, and that does include sex sometimes, and then he goes back downstairs. We have an expensive home, he has a good job with Boeing, and we have 3 kids all over the age of 18 ,one boy of 21 in the USAF, and two girls (19 & 20) living with us -the 20 year old daughter has a brand new adorable baby girl, so we are now grandparents.

I have had many arguments over the years about a man being so self centered that he has to play his video games and not do anything else. I am told by my spouse that his work is really upsetting him, and we have our, mother-in-law, 19 year old daughter,and daughter here with the baby,a nd he is the only bread winner (which I appreciate due to my disability) so, yeah I can understand the pressure he is under-but whoa there has got to be limits on the game playing!

I am warning you now and any other woman who reads this post: Find someone else! I understand hobbies, but these (guys) who can't learn to leave it alone for very long- for quality time with us, or the kids, or an outing or even a date, are ADDICTED /and or deppressed, and that is bad-just like drugs. Honey, save yourself the headache, and marriage & child rearing woes for the rest of your life-find someone else!
 
Get Out Now!!

Get out now! I have a boyfriend that is also addicted to Call of Duty on the XBOX. He is so nice to me when I see him, which is not very often. He thinks he is making up for playing the game. We have no sex, no conversation, no dates. He does buy me things sometimes. It is ridiculous!
 
me to

wow, i am going through the same thing, call of duty 4! all day its like hes glued to the tv. there is nothing i can do , it is like hed rather be playing a game then be with me .. i wish i new a way to stop it these xboxs are ruining my entire relationship.
 
Okay, uh Its Call Of Duty 4 ! HEELLOO And get ready for tomorrow cuz the new one's coming out lol

I mean, psh, screw children, it is way better to go and killl people lmfao

Haha, just kidding, im not addicted, I do play a lot, but don't really ignore my girlfriend(s) to play Call Of Duty ....
 
blah

OH MY GOD, my boyfriend has actually told me that i am not allowed to go around his when hes playing... because i 'distract' him. His xbox broke over the summer, and i have to say it was GREAAT. ARGHHH ANNOYED!!
 
my fiance is playing the new Call Of Duty, and he is completly addicted to it. I just left his place because I woke up a bit early before I had to go to work and he was still playing it. It was 7am! We watched our shows and then he went straight to the game. not to mention he was palying it before the shows even though i was there. when i brought it up with him this morning when i was leaving he told me he was up because of insomnia. that dosn't stop him from cuddling a bit before I fall asleep. He wass trying to get to bed before I noticed too. He has no job and is barely looking, lives with his mom and I might be pregnant :'( I feel for every one who has lost there man to this game.
 
My husband is way too addicted

My husband is addicted to COD on XBOX Live, he just went to bed after playing for 10 hours straight. He looked like a zombie and had nothing to say about me being upset over this. He ruined our plans for today because he will be in bed til about 8 o'clock tonight because of being up all night playing this game.

He has a horrible attitude and his sense of humor is completely gone. (He used to be so light-hearted and happy-go-lucky.) The game has completely robbed him of those traits. We argue a lot, this game is basically putting a wedge between our marriage and I am going to try and talk with him again for the millionth time about how his addiction to this game is bothering me. This game addiction is so bad that if the talk I plan to have with him doesn't work then next week I am looking into staying with a friend until he thinks about what is really important to him.

I wish he would have never bought that game. We have had 3 straight years of marital bliss and this game came along and I am completely unhappy in this marriage. He plays everyday after work from 5:30 to about midnight, and now that he is on vacation it has turned into an all night thing for him. I don't understand it, because I am not a bad wife, I'm not a nagging wife so I have no idea why he is so addicted to this game and letting it put a wedge between us.

My advice to you, get out of this relationship. Don't let it get more serious. If my husband were actually my boyfriend then I don't think I would still be with him. At least take some time apart.
 
lost my x to xbox

Wow...this is an epedemic. My x just got internet just so he can talk trash while playing, which he often does naked after I've seduced him. He's replaced all his real friends with Call of Duty friends, some of which he plans on traveling thousands of miles to visit someday. Whatever gets him out the house is cool I guess. He stayed inside so long, other than going to the grocery store, that his hair grew too long for him to feel comfortable in public on New Years. Thank heavens he got it cut before the year ended. I wish I could make his New Years resolutions..
 
wow this is terrible a guy that use to play call of duty im glad im not addicted to it...i really wish yall's significant other could see what that game is doing to your relationship but for them to be wrapped up is like horrible.
 
call of duty

my boyfriend is exactly the same. We go to bed together and fall asleep, then i wake up in the night and he is at thge end of our bed, playing it at like 4 in the morning. Then, because he has got no sleep, he is moody for the rest of the day. It seems like its something so small, but honestly i am at the end of my tether with him. He is still loving but I can just tell that its at the back of his mind! he works very hard and so i dont mind him playing it as he rarelt watches tv and stuff but my goodness!! not for hours everyday!!!
 
As is mine...

The noise REALLY grates me! all i can hear is guns & kids voices over his headset..

He is addicted & as soon as i turn my back he sneakily puts it back on again.... !
 
I lost my boyfriend to MW2, too. It was so ridiculous. The relationship went from fine to I barely saw him, and our schedules already made it difficult to see eachother more than twice a week.

I'm pretty much convinced that guys who play this non stop, let it affect their lives so badly to the point where jobs and relationships are neglected, are very self centered and need a serious wake up call. This epidemic disturbs me quite a bit. Wtf is wrong with these guys? Ruining relationships/turning down sex for a video game?
 
Wow, my boyfriend and I live together for the moment and ever since he bought Call of Duty on xbox it's been the same thing. Thankfully, it hasn't been as horrible as some of the stories posted here. But he will spend several hours playing, and then he'll get back on later. I feel like his mother sometimes when I have to call him from the TV for dinner. It's ridiculous, but I put up with it. We will not be living together next year, just next door to each other. Now we live in an efficiency with no doors and all I hear is him yelling and screaming obsenities mixed with explosion noises while I'm trying to do homework. Ridiculous
 
Taking me for granted

I have the same issue. From 5:30pm till bedtime for work the next day. Been with him for 5 yrs and the past 3 years it has been this way. Once this damn Xbox came out. I have numerous conversations with him but he just says "He knows", or "Don't start". I've become a slave. And I ask nothing of him, and the few times I need something, he forgets until I have to end up doing it myself. I am stuck and not sure what to do anymore. I just wish he knew what he is doing. My words and complaints apparently mean nothing and havent worked in 3 yrs. I think we all need to do something about this.
 
Modern warfare 2 "KILLER"

Just broke up over Modern Warfare 2. This guy would play from when he woke up till he fell asleep with the tv and xbox still on. This game f***ed up our relationship that he would talk to me if I was another player he hated. When we had to go out, we would argue for ages and then I was doing everything by myself.

He never use to be like this...

He agreed that he would only play monday, wednesday and Friday. The internet was at 10gb when we first had put on then in 1 week changed it to 20gb and was running out fast.

I have been complaining for months about the xbox coming between us and he agreed.

When I was packing my Sh** he didn't care he just went and picked up the xbox and cuddled it. I finally got it off him, although when I brought the xbox home he had stolen the hd. lol... I went back and got it.

Now he calls and beggs for the hd.lol


Sorry Complicit Black
 
I had no idea so many other people were suffering the same fate as me. I have been with my husband for four years and while he has always liked to play video games...nothing, and I mean NOTHING compares to stupid COD. I have never felt more alone than I do now. I currently live in a very secluded area in the middle of nowhere(military base) and all I have out here is my husband. It irks me to NO END when he has been gone at work all day and then the minute he comes home he wants to play his stupid game. He would probably never stop playing if I didn't beg him to get off! Hours and hours.... I bet if I wasn't in the picture he would never leave the room! Would probably pee himself and eat Doritos all day! UGH. I have talked to him HUNDREDS of times about this and how it is ruining our marriage. I just don't know what to do anymore. He always says " oh...yes, you're right. I'm sorry!" but then he goes right back to doing it again. I can NEVER get him out of the house, he NEVER wants to do anything with me and sometimes he has even completely ignored me if I'm standing butt freakin naked in front of him! This is driving me insane and I dont know how much more of this I can handle. I even told him I was going to pack my shit and move back home if he didnt cut it out. That made him sad, but he's STILL playing the dumb shit!!!! HELP ME!
