Your new girlfriend (Live with) wants you to stop playing video games.

We talking permanently or just cut down the hours?

VR Girlfriend>Real Girlfriend

There's always another girl.

As if I'll ever let a woman dictate what I do. Pathetic.

I don't play much video games, so honestly would not care, but I don't like the idea of my girlfriend controlling what I do for enjoyment.

I’d rather find another girlfriend than stay with one who wants me to give up one of my favorite hobbies. If I were spending ridiculous amounts of hours on games, then her asking me to cut back a bit would be reasonable.

The answers are gold

From the looks of it, Permanently. She also doesn't like marvel movies but more serious romantic movies.

Yeah, cutting down to a reasonable amount of time is one thing. Quitting? She needs to get a grip. I don't even play video games but this could mean anything a man likes to do with his time. Watching sports, playing sports, collecting comics, baseball cards, fishing, whatever.

No. She just thinks there stupid.

Yea. I don't like it.

I won't willingly live with someone who would take away my hobbies (since I am sure video games will be just the starting point) unless I have to. Much less start a romantic relationship with thatperson. So neither, I would never even start dating that girl.

you can do better. You deserve better.

plus, she's a new girlfriend! it's not like you guys have a lot of history, maybe she has control issues or wants to assert her dominance over you in the relationship

If it were ME, I'd tell her I'm willing to compromise and play the games less, or at times when she wasn't home, or on a schedule, but it's not right to ask you to give up something you enjoy, but "I'm sorry, I'm not going to do that."

Sets a bad precedent for the relationship, and frankly is unfair to you, is not cool, and she's not the kind of woman I'D want to be with.

I rarely play video games, but i would not be willing to give up one of my favorite hobbies just because someone i am dating asked me to.

I don't play video games anyway, except cell phone games. But even then, I'd give those up for sex.

Well she doesn't like CBMs, so I can compromise

Point at the door, then at my pants and shrug.

I would like to see her try.

Seriously though:

If she has a nice ass then I'll give up video games till we dump each other then go straight back into playing video games.

I would have shown her the door right there and then. No one is taking those away from me ?. Even if I hardly have enough time in my life for them anymore.

I calmly look at her in the face, and tell her "No". She wouldn't like it if I asked her to give up her hobbies, so she shouldn't ask me to give up mine

Calmly look her in the eyes, gently grab her hand, smile and whisper "it's none of your fucking business what I do in my free time."

I don't think a scenario would ever surface in which the only other option for not giving up the hobby of playing video games at my girlfriend's word would be to dump her. I'd probably explain to her why I can't stop playing video games, and probably she would understand why I won't give it up, and leave me alone about it.

If the scenario should arise, however, in which my girlfriend is absolutely demanding me to give up playing video games or otherwise the relationship between us will be vanquished by her, then I would probably question her reasons as to why she would place such a demand first. If I find her reasons are completely selfish then I would probably ignore her, and keep playing video games even if it meant the eventual disparity of our relationship. Not that I would ever date such a girl in the first place.

Bleh

I don't even play vidya, but I wouldn't want to be with someone that controlling that it'd come to that kind of ultimatum.

Video games are awesome.

I'm not gonna stop playing video games, so she either gets used to it, or I show her door.

Keep in mind I've never been in a relationship EVER.

The proper way to deal with it is to tech her argument, and then Shoryuken into EX Hadouken.

I'm seeing a girl. Kind of.

I don't think she would want me to just stop but she would certainly let me know if she was not in the mood to watch me play.

She isn't shy.

I'd never date a girl who wasn't a gamer. Although I rarely if ever play games these days anyways...

That would never happen.

Why would you play video games at that age in the first place?

Yeah, nah, as Mr. HeroUp put, it does raise quite a few red flags for the relationship and she could be the same towards any hobby of mine.
