And by misstress.... I mean the xbox. lol. FI just got it back in the mail today. It was being repaired. He hasn't got off Call of Duty for about 3 hours. He keeps on telling me he NEEDS to get up on his levels. lol. it's pretty funny. He hasn't had the xbox for about a month.
Don't get me wrong... I like playing xbox as well. I really like Assassin's Creed. Though it does amaze me that this 23 year old man can pretty much forget about everything and get into this game so much. He has even told me that he had played COD for DAYS!
so do any bee's worry about their SO mistresses? :)
Omg, yes! Thank goodness he sold his though. I sometimes hated that thing w/ a passion. There were many a night I wanted to chuck it out the window :)
@CaraMia10: ahh yes. A friend of mine is having a bit more of a problem than I am with the xbox. I told her just to unplug the cord when he was playing... She looked at me like I was crazy. haha. I told her that I have done it. ( but only after Iknow that Fi has saved his game) I don't want to get yelled at. haha
Yes he has a few. Their names are softball, wrestling, baseball and football. Currently it is wrestling and I wish he wouldn't talk about her nonstop like he does because honestly I could do with less talk. He coaches so he is with her every single day sometimes for hours if he has a match far away.
You learn to love it I guess. :)
I just got a five minute call from FI. He was at the game store, where he spends 1/3 days. One of them is at work, then he gets two off, one of which I get to see him, and the other one goes to the game store to play his trading card game. It's not that I mind the amount of time I see him, but it concerns me that I get the same amount of time as the people at the store :P.
Yup. My FI has a mistress named "Starcraft 2." She's very demanding.
I thought I got lucky by finally finding a guy who didn't play video games, but instead he watches sports, more sports, plays fantasy EVERYTHING (Fantasy Fishing? wtf.) Also, I am a Golf Widow all summer.
Most of the time I am happy that I have lots of time to hang out with my ladies and get other stuff done, but sometimes I want to love on him and his is too busy doing some sports related thing.
But I am still happy that he doesn't play video games. My ex used to be surrounded by Mountain Dew Bottles and pizza boxes as he played Halo for days.
My FI's dad built him a gaming computer for his birthday a few months ago.. She has affectionately been named "Cindy"... At some point in undergrad, after we had been together for about a year, my FI would always joke that his "other girlfriend" was going to come over to keep him company if I wasn't going to come over that night, trying to get me to change my mind & come, things like that.. well, all of our friends went along with this and this "other girlfriend" of his got the name Cindy. Even now 4 years later, it's a running joke in our group of friends, and even his parents know about it, so his dad dubbed the computer "Cindy".. so Cindy is his other mistress.
It makes for a good laugh, though, when he'll call me on his way home from work and ask me "Hey can you turn Cindy on so she's all ready for me when I get home?"... haha. So "Cindy" the gaming machine is his mistress. He's pretty good about stopping to eat dinner & watch 1 of our TV shows on Netflix or something if I've cooked, and getting off the computer early enough at night so we can watch a movie or our TV shows before we go to bed... so I really can't complain!
@artwyopie: If she wants to be sneaky, she can always flip the breaker switch and turn the power off :).
@ILikePink: I think I would rather have video games than sports :P. Of course, I actually like video games and I hate sports, lol :).
@ILikePink: yes. FI likes sports as well. HUGE PACKER FAN!!, though that doesn't bother me that much since I have now started to like the packers. THough he won't do anything if he is able to watch the game. Sometimes that can be a bit hard. And if they loose. yikes. don't even get me started with all the hurt players right now for the pack. FI will go on for days.
@ILikePink: Your ex sounds just like FI's roommate.
FI goes in bursts where he is a slave to the xbox, or he doesn't really give a rip. Basically, if someone turns it on, he'll play, but he doesn't always choose it himself. I don't really mind, though. He'll play, I sleep or plan the wedding. And if he doesn't like what I plan, well then I guess it's just too dang bad. ;-)
I'm a Football Sunday widow!!LOL He is not available sunday during football season. I used to fight tooth and nail but I eventually came to the conclusion that I should accept the inevitable!
Yep, he has quite a few mistresses. And has even taken on a "second wife" in the form of his best friend that he stays up with half the night enjoying his mistresses with.
if you can't get the gaming out of their system you might as well join in on the fun. Seriously, find some games you both can enjoy and then gaming will be a good experience. We love to play little big planet, donkey kong wii, and red dead redemption together. we really are looking forward to the release of LBP2 in January!
@Bostonsmom: It looks hard!!! I could never play that game...I only like games I can win ;D I play some video games too, but he gets SO involved in Starcraft. When he talks about it with his buddies its like hes speaking a different freaking language.
I have a Canadian, so we watch a lot of hockey. I really like hockey, but I am mostly a baseball girl.
I kind of miss playing more video games (GuitarHero!), but we have a Wii and a WiiFit and I really enjoy both of them.
I used to be the "spotter" when Fi would play COD. haha. I would sit and try to see if I saw any other players. I really liked when he would play bad company. i would fall asleep to that.
it was an issue early in our relationship, a big one.
but over the last couple years he grew up & hardly plays anymore, thank god.
@keybee: it was a issue for us as well at first. I didn't understand why he would play for so long. he grew up with video games. I did not. so I just didn't understand the appeal of them. Sometimes I still don';t
My husband is an IT guy and he loves doing computer stuff when he gets home from work. I don't get it - my hobbies are totally different than my professional life.
He also plays Xbox and plays with guys he works with. He will be in his office for hours at a time playing. I'll ask him to come out and he'll say "in just a minute." Well, 30 minutes will go by, and he's still playing, so I've been known to go in and slam the door or say "Honey, you said you would be done 1/2 an hour ago!" really loud to get his attention (he wears head phones while playing and gets mad if I take them off or if I touch him at all to get his attention - he gets distracted from his "life or death" game).
Apparently the guys at work heard my doing this over his microphone-thingy and think I'm too controlling.... whatever. They need lives 
i remember when i bought hubby TIVO - i started calling it his mistress within a day
he would get up in the middle of the night and talk to it, i would hear him clicking buttons and saying "what are you taping for me, ohhh you are good arent you, you knew i would like that"
i told hubby it was creepy but he still talks to her (yes his tivo is a girl)
I feel like I'm in constant competition with the damn thing! I hope it won't become a bigger issue once we move in together 
Thankfully not anymore.
Fridays, Saturdays and some Sunday evenings were devoted to online DnD (he was part of two different groups for it). For the first year of our relationship I could pretty much count on the facts that he would look like a zombie at church, and that I wouldn't have any plans on the weekend with him.
We had a good talk about how it bothered me but thankfully both quests died off so I get my weekends again! He also hasn't re-downloaded his IM service from the time he had to whipe his hardrive so they can't suck him in again.
My FI is also currently playing. Her name is World of Warcraft. This has been an ongoing struggle since our undergrad days (seven years ago). He's a bit better now as in he'll put it down if we have things to attend to. We used to have to schedule social events around his gaming schedule, and that's when I drew the line - so ridiculous!
I do play every now and then, but ever since that the new edition came out a couple weeks ago, he's been totally nocturnal (he's on holiday break from school), and I've been so annoyed that I've boycotted the dang game. I feel ya, ladies!
My SO isn't that into gaming or sports but he does have several mistresses, his guitars. We could be in the middle of anything and I could get up for one second to go to the bathroom or answer the phone and within seconds he has one of them out. If we go shopping and there is a music store he will disappear and play one of the store's guitars and he also has a couple of different guitar apps on his iphone.
Omfg. Can you believe that I am actually responsible for introducing FI to his mistress?! He asked me in early November if I would buy him Fallout: New Vegas as an early Christmas present and stupidly I said yes. Ever since then, when he's not doing work, all I hear every day is gunshots and all I see is his vacant eyes directed towards the glow of his screen. I complain to him about how he spends way more time with the game than me these days, and that's no exaggeration. Sigh. He's told me about four times now that he thinks he's done with the game, then he installs some mod and plays for dozens more hours. Worst present I ever gave him.
@artwyopie: Yes lol. My SO just recently started playing FF. Even though I love FF 7 and 8 I miss my SO more! lol. I understand though because it helps him relax, but its radio silence for most of the day! :P O well, at least he cant have sex with it, that makes me happy. lol
@amariem25 We play Little Big Planet too! I agree on the theory that if you can't beat 'em, join 'em. SO is good about getting off the computer to spend time with me, but if I wasn't around I think he might play video games and/or computer games every free waking moment. I recently kicked him off the computer and told him it was "my turn" to try one of his games (Fallout New Vegas), just to get him off of it... and then I got addicted. Backfired?
@ILikePink: Ok I thought Fantasy Basketball was the worst, but i believe madame, Fantasy Fishing (agreed WTF?) takes the CAKE!
Yes and Basketball is bad... but Fantasy Basketball is terrible. Do you know how many freakin games there are? like four a week from almost when football starts to when baseball starts. But ... his participation in a forum about basketball and fantasy basketball gets him off my back about this.
My SIL has to deal with fantasy football, baseball, soccer and FIFA soccer. ridiculous
I hate World of Warcraft more than anything.
How the heck can he play it THAT much? For months, he had gotten rid of it and it was great, but they supposedly gave old subscribers a free trial before the new version came out, and he's been on it non-stop since then.
I've told him to get rid of it and he gets really defensive.
I can't stand it - it really is a drug, but I don't know what else to do. There are nights when I go to bed and hours later, he's still up playing it. Yesterday he had the day off, and we had an appointment with the financial planner and he almost 2 hours late, which is blamed on the dog needing to go for a walk (yeah, right).
DH plays pretty often, but as soon as I ask him to come join me or have dinner, the damn thing is off. He knows I won't put up with him putting a video game before me! I'll break the thing in his sleep :P
@jindc: aw jeez-- I hope my SO's obsession with Final Fantasy doesnt go to such lengths
(I wont lie, I actually like WoW....but I can admit that it is a bad, bad habit to break).
thankfully when it gets to the point where you have to say "Honey, have you BATHED this week?" guys usually come to their senses....at least I hope most do :P
maybe some tough love is in order? (and by that I mean sicking a raid on your SO's character's butt as a msg)
Yes, I play dirty :P
@artwyopie: LOL! I feel your pain :-) Last night I was trying to talk to DH and he said he HAS to play his game. I was like HAVE to!?! Whatever - he is pretty good about not spending countless hours on end playing it!
