Sojust this evening my husband and I were watching a movie on the xbox and as we watching it a friend signed in and it appeared on the screen, it promopted me to see who this person was after we'd finished watching the movie because we both used to play it but now it's just him and the only friends we had were people that we actually knew personally. Anyway so I go into his friends list and there are a few ladies on there and some of which his has been messaging... "innocently" just asking where they're from and trivial things like that but I find it totally inappropriate and am actually kinda upset by it here I was thinking he was playing his game with his friends when he's been messaging strange women. He says that if he had something to hide he would've deleted the messages..which idon't believe coz I don't think he thought I'd ever think to lookand he says he wouldn't mind if I was doing the same thing and that he only did it because he was wasted and bored.... I'm only in the other room why not come talk to me!? I just don't get it.
Just wondering what everyone else would do in my situation? Posted on 06/13/09, 05:06 am |

I would be pissed off and I would be tempted to be angry with him, but I think in my newfound wisdom at 35, I would concentrate on my own life and move on. If he is wasted and bored, you can probably do better anyways. Life is too short to sit around waiting for people to appreciate us. Tell him you don't care and then start doing things that get you out of the house and into life. Either he will wake up and realize that you are moving on without him or he will be glad you are gone to keep doing his stupid online stuff, either way you are better off.

Poetess made some great points. Life *is* too short to sit around waiting for someone to appreciate us. I have been doing my own thing, going out with my friends and living my life without my gaming addict boyfriend.. And whatever happens, happens. If I met someone great tomorrow in the process, it would probably be a blessing in disguise. Who knows? That's the way I see it. Don't get me wrong, I'm not happy. I'm miserable in my current situation which is why I came here for support.. but I have finally decided to stop sitting around staring at the back of his head and hoping things will somehow change. I wanted my life back, not to continue living the way that he's been living. I also have suspected that he has been chatting someone up on his game, and I'm to the point where I feel indifferent to it. If my b/f wants her- they have more in common anyway. **** them both, I say. I'm so tired of hurting.. but I still am despite everything. I am just 'getting by' a little by living my own life and being open to whatever happens. I can tell that you are hurting, and I feel for you. No one deserves to be in your situation (or mine, or anyone else here), no one. I have wondered what was wrong with me, also, why I wasn't good enough to spend time with or talk to or have fun with. I'm tired of blaming myself as well. He wants me to believe that there is something wrong with ME because I have asked him to try to see what his gaming addiction has done to our relationship. He does not want to see it. So I guess I'm just saying much the same thing that poetess said... do things on your own, with your friends or family, and take your life back. Even if you're still dealing with him at home, you can at least have something good to look forward to on the outside.. and you never know if someone better for you is out there.. Please hang in there.
