What bores you?

Like quite a few grown adult men, my boyfriend is addicted to video games, specifically Halo. He would probably interject here and tell me that it’s Halo 2, not Halo – they are very different games. I mean, are they really? They’re all shooting people as quickly as you can.

He is horrified when I don’t know the difference between COD, PUBG and some other random shit.

He often tells me we could split screen and I could play too, that would be fun, he says.

Ummm, no it wouldn’t be.

It’s boring, stupid and I’d prefer to sit here with my book, cuddling the dog.

If you could stop shouting at the tv though yeh? It’s disturbing my zen.

    I get this 💯 my ex used to play cod as well as counterstrike. Yet another stupid shoot them up game in the early hours of the morning. One day he lost his temper and punched my £1000 laptop and broke the screen. I mean I like playing computer games but when they start to shout and loose their temper. Its like dude walk away you obviously not enjoying it!
    I’m with you on a book but I struggle to sit down for long and enjoy things. My brain is to active (but not the rest of me) to sit still for more then 30 minutes at a time.

      Oh no! I hope he bought you a new laptop!
      I totally agree, when I suggest its just a game and to calm down it does not go down well!
      Try an audiobook? I listen to them whilst cleaning the house/walking the dog – great for multitasking!

        No he was such a loser, and a bad bad partner. I should’ve known better tbh. But I didnt learn in the 6years we were together 😔

    As a gamer myself, I feel your pain. It does seem like a pointless way to spend your life, but there are so many zombies to kill! 🤣
