I'm not sure if he likes the games more or is bored withme (dating 2 yrs) but my bf spends all his free time playing stupid world of warcraft or xbox. How do I get him to cut back on them and spend more time with me?

I had a guy like this, ended up he was bored with the relationship and this was his passive-aggressive way of driving me away.

I am so sorry.

Although it won't be comforting, I can say that his behavior is at least useful information for you. Regardless of what he tells you, he's showing you (by the way he's living) what he loves. He gives himself to video games, not the pursuit of you. He's not actively pursuing marriage; you are something like another video game to him. You want a man whose hero is Jesus. Jesus was the only man who cared for his woman (the church) more than she cared for herself. He took as much responsibility for her as he could bear, even dying in her place. That's a hero, and that's the example you want your boyfriend to be following. Check around online for a good church nearby with people your age(if you don't already go).

Sorry to hear. All I can say is WoW is one of THE most addictive video games created. I know of people in my age group and older that are addicted (to the point of not coming into work).

Honestly, first thing I'd suggest is speaking with him (when he's away from the game). I highly doubt your relationship started off this way, so there's been a change. The key is trying to understand why/what's changed.

If he no longer wants to be with you, move on. If he's addicted that's a bigger issue. His time with the game can't be at the expense of real friendships/relationships - yours especially.

If that doesn't work and you're on speaking terms with someone he trusts/respects, speak with them. Some guys may need a wee video-game intervention before they realize "how much time" they spend at their computers playing.

Hope things work out for you.
