Okay need advice from the boys that have a long term girlfriend!

My girl thinks that I love Halo more than I do her and told me (told not asked) that if I buy Halo 2 she WILL break up with me after 3 years of relatioship! Now I have preorderd it behind her but she will find out sooner or later.

Is there a way out of this mess?

Girls are imppossible control freaks who will desatroy you no matter what you do. If you buy her a gift, she'll probably complain that you didn't get the right gift or that the money could have been put to better use. If you go out with her she will probably say she didn't like the resturaunt even if she was the one who suggested it. If you call her on the phone to ask how she is feeling, she'll say don't call again. If you go over to her house she probably won't be there and you will have to deal with her father. If she calls you, you're probably busy and she'll get mad that you had to talk to her later. If she comes over to your house, and your busy she'll think you don't have enough trime for her.

The best way for her to find out is you telling her up front, otherwise she will be more pissed off if she found out on her own. She will still be pissed off mind you, but probably and just maybe a more tolerable level, but this is not guarenteed. Maybe you could buy her a more expensive gift than Halo 2 to let her know that you care about her more than you do about yourself. Stay off the game for an entire week to let her know you can live without the game, but not without her. Spend twice as much time with her than you do on the game, of course I don't mean play halo 40 hours a week and spend 80 hours a week with her, but just play Halo 2 maybe one or two hours a day and spend 28 hours a week with her. Don't talk about video games with her at all, otherwise she'll think your trying to get her be an obsessive video game freak as she sees you are. Not that I am saying you are an obsessive video game freak.

After awhile she will grow tired of making your life miserable over a video game and will try something else to get you to stop playing video games all together. She will most likely find out your plan to keep playing video games and stay with her and she will decide that you can't have video games and her at the same time. Soon you will be forced to stop playing video games all together and mature into a soul less manipulative man just as all women expect of their boy friends, because girls don't want to fall in love with geeks. They think geeks are peple who are overly obsessive in one small and meaningless aspect in life. And they know it isn't going to support the family they have been dreaming about ever since childhood.

Well, first I must ask you this. WHAT DO YOU FRICKIN CARE. As long as she doesn't live with you you can play it whenever you want, just spend as much time as you can with her. Now I know thats dis-honest but then again its HALO 2.

All right that was a one idea, the other is a little different. You could, cancel your pre-order (and die) and just move in with her. I'm sure she has some nice puzzles you could do while you watch re-runs of the Cosby Show.

Ok this is for-real. Girls are as your friend the Walrus pointed out, HUGE control freaks. They want you to spend time with them and only them. There is a solution to this fact of the universe. Accept it. You probably won't be able to sway her opinion, so basically spend even more time with her than you do Halo (Walrus pointed this out well). If that doesn't work just pretend that Halo 2 is a different game. call it fuzzy bears (all girls love fuzzy bears). Or in the case that that fails buy here a fuzzy bear or something more sutible to her to try and show your love. I dunno I just got bored and entered this forum.

Enjoy your -blam!-y girlfirend,

Your friend Mr. Muffin

I'm sorry man that was low. To show my state of disgrace I will now proceed to sing the I'm Sorry Song.

But that would make you crap in your pants since I sing so well.

Anyway if you need advice, I can truly help. Just do what Walrus said.

Please don't kill me (cause your girlfriend might object to that as well)

Yeah there is a way out of this mess. First you're in the Halo PC forum which will not have any help for you at all other then fixing your PC to play with. And second, you should seek real help like people to people and not network to network type communications.

Well...im sorry to say..you should break it off.. if she cant respect that you like something alot.. and have been looking forward to this for a long time...she is not the girl for you...I broke up with my old gf cuz she tried to be a control freak...Right now..im with a girl that likes halo..NBA Live 05..and Madden 05...THATS MY GIRL

Also...you shouldnt ask people on game forums...cuz a lot of them( unlike me) have never had a gf....i dont have anythin against you that havent. So you shouldnt do what people say, but i think youshould talk to your friends, and see what they think. Possibly even your parents if you dont have good friends and have cool parents. If you dont have either, jus go with your gut instinct...NEVER...NEVER.....do something u want to do, just because you dont want your gf tobreak up with you. She doesnt sound like the right girl...sorry man...for this bad situation you are in

Yeah unlucky but on the other hand my girlfriend got into Halo so much I had to buy her a 9600XT for her PC to play it... lol.

I would suggest that you either do some romantic gesture to prove you love her more, or get her to like Halo. Or convince her not to be so dumb as to think you could like a game more than a girl. Choose your words carefully for that one tho.

The Walrus nailed it in one. Me and my girl compromise. She can chatter on about her friends and anime etc, etc and i get to play Halo 2. It's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.

yea...first wrong forum, but hell anyways, spend more time with her. If you can get her to like halo, that will be just absoultly awsome, but I don't about that. Ive never had a girlfriend before, Im just telling you through common sense.

I have a girlfriend for 1 year now. Give it some time. And if she breaks up with you she doesnt really care about what enjoy once again it being about her(dont fall for this).

I go over to my friends house and we play halo from 7 apm friday till 7am saturday we then spend time together the rest of the day. I have found that neogociating works. She does complain about me being really cranky but nothing a litle nap cant fix

Umm... Theres something wrong if she delivers you an ultimatum like that, but at the same time you must have done something wrong to recieve that kind of threat.

Be happy you have one ;-)

First thing is first. Get a new one . And no, you can't have mine.

Actually most of my friends have girlfriends/wives that don't give a crap about Halo, but understand that people got to have hobbies.

Yeah I agree. Your girlfriend will play Halo with you if she truly loves you. As she plays she will realize that you are spending time with her. Just keep the nerdiness down. Compliment her when she does something cool since she does *not* want to be treated like one of your rowdy guy friends and be like " OMFG THAT WAS UBER AWESOME YOU PWNED THEM"

Gamers are starting to evolve. We're not all ugly nerds anymore. .and as a "pretty boy" Halo is something great to do when it's rainy outside, 'specially with your girlfriend. Be reasonable and do what she'd like too. Luckily mine just likes watching movies and that isn't bad at all.

I'll always love my Megan =\ but you need to let the woman go if she's going to threaten to take herself away from you or *you* need to stop talking about it around her since I know a lot of men expect their women to be there to make out with them as soon as the controller is put down. Talk to her while you play or just stop playing when she comes all together. Hope you can multitask

CowardlyElite made some good points, the two guys after him made stupid points... the guy wants help with his problem, not a couple of words which could screw up his relationship.

Anyway, if your obsession with Halo is such that it drives people away from wanting to get close to you, it might be worth trying to limlit yourself, or at least don't let it show. She probably doesn't want to hear about Halo anymore than you'd want to hear about some of the more girly aspects of her life.

I got around the problem by convincing my gf to play Halo a bit and see if she could understand why I like it, and it worked. This won't be the case with some girls though, in which case you'll have to make her understand that everyone is entitled to have hobbies. You in turn have to understand that your hobby can't take up so much time and still expect her to be fine with the small amount of time and attention that you give her.

skippy are you sure you understood Nikman's problem here?his gf THREATENED him.you can't threaten someone you love.so that means maybe she doesn't love him anymore.so it's better to end it now.even if she loves him that was the TOTALLY wrong way to tell him this.so now you can understand how i thought before posting.jesus must i explain everything?don't you have imagination? :P

Er, ok, glad to see it was worth me trying to help :P

But anyway, how serious is she about this threat? Coz a lot of the time people say things that they don't mean, just for effect. If she is going to force you to choose between Halo and her, and if you think you play Halo no more than is reasonable (like you don't neglect her or anything) then maybe tell her that's up to her what she does.
