"Disrespected". What a drama king. That would get a major eyeroll from me.

But...maybe you can compromise a little? Wait a few more minutes? Invite him to play? It definitely shouldn't be a situation where you have to do exactly what he wants after sex lest he get his feelings hurt. But this may be a good situation for compromise.

It almost doesn't matter, though, because the main point is that you know he feels this way, so it's on you to at least acknowledge that and talk about how you two can resolve this.

We can't tell from the little bit you've shared if you're both being unreasonable or one of you is or neither of you, but as usual there are a lot of "it depends" that apply here.
Read through this, OP. I'd add that the circumstances don't really determine whether your partner's response is appropriate or not. That's not how feelings work. If I feel disrespected, I'm not really open to being told that the vote is in and my feelings have been determined to be wrong somehow.

Talk to your partner.

Do you care about him? Care about his happiness? You can't wait 10 minutes to talk to him, or cuddle, or wait until he goes to sleep, or whatever it is that he wants to do after sex? He's told you he is unhappy.



Your computer will still be there in 10 minutes. You put your game on hold, it will stay on hold until you get back. It doesn't run away like an untrained horse if you don't have a hand on the controller.


Your guy wants to feel like you think he is important. Not, "whew, glad that is finally over, now back immediately to the important stuff". Invest a few minutes in the relationship before you get back to what really matters to you.

Yeah, don't buff your nails during the act, either.

seems to be communication breakdown.
probably he say 'i dont like you playing games during our intimate time'.
and she say 'i dont see a problem with me playing games after we are done'.

How long were you having sex? Count that, then divide by half. Cuddle for that long. Then go play video games.

Exception would be if the guy gets off prematurely, in which case you double or triple the amount of time cuddling.

It's probably better than snoring, definitely better than smoking.

Since we all assumed the person wanting to play video games after sex was the guy, I think many of us will be surprised to learn that:
  • 46% of gamers are female.
  • There are more adult women gamers than teenage boy gamers.
I just heard this info on the news as they were covering the E3 Expo in Los Angeles.
