Warning: The following is a bit ranty
Ok, so, my roomate and my boyfriend often play Halo for X-box. I'm not so into it. I prefer video games with a bit more of a story, maybe it's a girl thing? Any way I had no real issues with Halo until my roomate got X-Box live about a week ago. My boyfriend has disapeared. Well actually he's on the couch, but mentally and emotionally he's gone, he's lost in Halo land. He is unstoppable, and he get's soooooo annoyed if i even suggest that he shut the damn thing off. Even my roomie thinks it's a bit much, and he's a video game geek. I'm feeling completely neglected and bored out of my mind! I sit on the couch with him and play on my computer, waiting, like a dutiful girlfriend, for him to finally get tired (usually as the sun is coming up) so we can atleast sleep together (although a few nights i've just gone to bed cuz I was sleepy and couldn't watch another second of that infuriating game, anyone sensing my irritation here?). I'm so annoyed, he snaps at me if i walk in front of him in the middle of a "match" and he has the audacity to ask me to get him stuff so he doesn't have to get up from the game. I HATE HALO!!!!!!! It has stolen my boyfriends soul. I've tried getting mad, I've tried pretending to be interested in the stupid game, I've tried being sexy to distract him, Nothing!! I'm at my wits end!! Our friends, and my rommie have suggested that maybe the testosterone factor in the apartment is getting a bit much (I'm the only girl here usually) and maybe he should let me watch some t.v atleast ( I haven't seen Law and Order in weeks!!!), or ya know, take my ass out to dinner or something boyfriend-like, but he's oblivious!!!! I try not to get mad, but it's so annoying. Ugggghhhh.
I can't believe I'm jealous of a freaking game!!! Ok, that's all. Thanks for listening. I'm gonna go listen to The Cure and pout. At least i have a kittie to cuddle with, although she seems to be more interested in chasing specks of dust.... Oh god, I'm so alone...What a world, what a world...
Ok that last bit was a bit dramatic, but i'm desperate for attention. I mean how do I compete with a loud video game with guns and aliens? Oy Vey.
wish me luck, and for gods sake pay attention to me, someone got to!

I'm predicting your bf will get bored of Halo in a few weeks (or maybe months), and go back to normal. Of course, I'm not excusing his behavior. I dunno really what you should do in the meantime. If I was him, you would just have to wear some perfume or kiss the back of my neck and I'd stop playing pretty quickly
I kind of laughed when you mentioned the "testoserone factor" in your apt.
Somehow, I have the opposite problem - last night I found myself at my home with my two roommates (both women), one of their sisters, and one friend - so 4 women total - one of them making jewelry, one doing her nails, and the other 2 making clothing and hair extensions, while we all sat around and watched "Sex and the City" (I am not making this up). AGGGH, estrogen overload!
Maybe you should come hang at my place, and I can go over your bf's place and play some XBox,
Maybe try posting this to the "Dating Sucks" group?
