Heya guys! Scroatles here. So I'm having some issues with my girlfriend. She says that I spend too much time playing/talking about Magic. At first, she was cool with it and she even learned how to play, but nowadays she's always on my case about playing Magic. I only play at the shop 4 nights a week and I only play MTGO once our 2 year old goes to bed. She acts like I don't spend ANY time with her! I don't know what to do. I mean Magic was my first love and Nikki (my GF) and I have only been together like 3 years. I'm wondering if it's the right thing to cut my losses and move on. I mean, I'm a pretty good looking dude, I'm sure I could score another girl.
And you know what the worst part is? She stooped so low to tell me I sucked at Magic (!!!!) just because I've never even top 8ed a FNM and I've been playing for 10 years. Psh, whatever girl.
So what should I do? Should I move on and be like YOLO or should we work it out?
As far as the girl goes- it doesn't seem like you two have developed a healthy conflict resolution method. Four nights a week at the game store is a lot and it identifies to her (and later to your son when he is older) what your priorities are. She isn't ranking high enough and she is letting you know. A game should not be your first love. If she can't take that place at the top of the list then she should cut HER losses and run.
You stated that the two of you have a son. How could you possible consider "YOLO [sic]" and run over a card game?
Nah you definitely aren't too far in to anything with her. Three years and a two year old isn't hard to start over from, especially if you can keep playing Magic. Probably even more after you leave the two of them.
Just do what your heart says is the right thing to do.

Whats the big deal about black lotus you ask? Well you see, there is no big deal about it. It IS the big deal.
your priorities are really messed up. I quit playing entirely shortly after my daughter was born because time and money was better spent with family. To be honest, im a bit disgusted my the way youve phrased/presented your problem here. She has every right to feel the way she does. Nothing wrong with wanting to have a social life and some time to yourself but 4 nights out PLUS modo is ridiculous. That child signifies a commitment and you need to keep it. Limit it to 1-2 nights a week and spend some time with what's important.......your family

Wait.
Wait. Wait. Wait.
I'm confused.
You play MTG 4 nights a week when you are raising a two-year-old kid?
And you're baffled as to why your girlfriend is upset?

I think its amazing the girl hasnt left you already considering you are both raising a 2 year old kid, you spend little to no time with her and your current status is just BF/GF... ok fine so maybe im outdated and a unrealistic idiot but I was raised to believe that you had to step up to responsability of kids, either by marrying the girl or by providing for the kids welfare either as a single parent yourself or as a support provider for the single parent, the fact you two remain in such a transitory phase while already having such a commitment issue (a child), baffles me to such an incredible degree.
So yeah, either this is a troll thread or you are a douche and would your family a service by moving on and letting the girl and child have a healthier lifestyle without you in the picture.... god this sickens me...
