My GF doesn't let me play videogames :(

My last GTA was San Andreas. Enjoy it for me.

Does she have a reason for not wanting you to play video games?

If you have free time and are spending your own money, there's no reason anyone else should dictate what you do in your down time.

A girlfriend who "doesn't let" you play video games sounds oddly controlling.

It's not like she denies me but with our schedules there's only so little time we have free together. A game like that requires way too much attention which is better spent with her. Doesn't mean I don't miss those lonely allnighters wasting away the pixels.

She doesn't mind a couple hours of Zelda every now and then though. So I've got that going for me at least :)

Okay this doesn't sound so bad now. If she was explicitly not allowing you to do something you enjoy then I'd be challenging that.

Ah, thanks for the clarification.

I can understand tough schedules to get around, and spending time together definitely has priority to gaming.

I KNOW. I feel like a straight busta.

Is there anything in her life that you don't let her do?

Nothing comes to mind. Her bad habits are ones I share as well.
