Today, when my new boyfriend told me he liked playing games, he meant a 60" TV with a professional gaming chair in the middle of his living room, and 48-hour gaming marathons where he totally ignores me, refuses to sleep or shower, and only has energy drinks and cheerios. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boyfriend and I broke up. He said it was because he wanted to 'do his own thing'. So gaming 24/7 like he has for the past two years of our relationship, then. FML
Today, I found my boyfriend playing games when we have 5 million things to do, but the bastard picked me up, put me in the hall, shut the door in my face, and barricaded it with the sofa. I texted him, threatening to break up unless he opened the door; he texted back to leave my key behind when I left. FML
Today, after weeks of my yelling, my boyfriend finally listened and got a hobby. Instead of getting into something sensible like martial arts, he chose tabletop gaming. Now I have to listen to hours of boring stories about pretend fantasy worlds, and admit to everyone that my boyfriend is a nerd. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I were planning how to spend the day together. When I suggested we start off with some fun in bed, then get some pizza and play his favorite video game, he sighed, "Can't we just go straight to gaming?" FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me after 2 years of being together. The reason? I don't enjoy playing video games as much as he does. FML
Today, I decided to give my boyfriend one last chance at fixing our failing relationship. Instead of talking about how to fix our dying relationship, he decided to game all day and ignore me. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me, because apparently I need to "grow up". He's the one who excessively plays Call of Duty and still has Pokémon and Bionicles in his room. FML
Today, my boyfriend had the choice of A) living alone gaming, or B) moving in with me, gaming in his own man-cave, lots of sex, and lots of pizza. He chose choice A. FML
Today, I beat my boyfriend in a video game. He promptly dumped me and told me to leave. FML
Today, my boyfriend refused to take me out on our three year anniversary because he was busy, "training to become a professional gamer." FML

Which mean you have 48 hours to do whatever the hell it is you want without having to drag the boyfriend along. Space. I see no problem here.

Unless those 48 hours are the weekend and OP then can’t go do things during the day with said boyfriend?

Yes! While I agree he deserves to do things on his spare time, if its sucking up the entire weekend where that's usually the only days that are free between, there needs to be some sort of compromise for the relationship to work.

Wouldn't they have to be the weekend? Because of it was during the week, he probably doesn't work, and that's another issue.

Sounds like a noob. Real gamers stock up on Doritos, Mountain Dew, and frozen taquitos.

This is obviously an issue for you, so the best advice I can give is to say RUN AWAY! You aren’t going to change him.

Obviously you need to walk around naked eating pizza to distract him and teach him what is important in life. pizza.

Pizza is always sexier without the box on.

Wait... That isn’t normal? The only problem I see is if he’s a CoD guy. Fallout/Elder Scrolls all the way!

Doesn't sound like you have much of a boyfriend to me OP. While I encourage people to have hobbies this seems more like a health hazard.....

Eh I’d rather play video games with my girl.
