WEll, some people do have addictions to different things and it could be hard to just stop! You might want to talk with him and maybe seek some help if that doesn't help. Maybe he's bored and there's nothing else to do than to go on the games. I myself enjoy playing with my husband when he plays video games and maybe you should just try it with him!!

This relationship has probably run it's course. Set the boyfriend, the PC with it's game outside on the doorstep and say, see ya on the internet and shut the door.

nologo agony auntRight now you start playing this pc game with him.

Otherwise you lose his attention and love will fade.

Now about "we always argue because he can't control himself".

Are you talking this about lack of his attention toward you or maybe there is something else here.

For ultimate result you will have to address his Addiction, but in time when you are ready.

P.S. What EXACTLY you mean by "he can't control himself"?

Royofthe Rovers agony auntI can understand the addictiveness of computer games nowadays, especially the ones which you can immerse yurself in a different world. However, he cant seriously pick the computer game over you?

There should be a time and place for his game which does not interfere with your relationship the way it is.

Is it an online game? If so, think about disconnecting the cable so he cant play. He HAS to realise that you should be first in line before a silly computer game.

Or disconnect your internet for a month and tell him things you need more of his attention. You really need to tell him how you feel. It may sound silly getting jealous of a computer game but when someone is so immersed in these games an hour seems like 5 minutes!!

Tell him how you feel, truthfully and respectively, and then use the other tactics if he fails to react to your words.

If he is willing to end the relationship you have for a computer game, then his not the person you probably thought he was.
