Hi there,

I have been with my bf for almost 4 years this October. He plays games a lot and i have found out previously before talking to this girl.

I've confronted him about it and he's told me that she's like a penpal who he has been talking to online since 10 years ago when he first starting gaming.

At first, I didn't really think anything of it.I did let him know it made me feel a little uncomfortable and that i would preferred that he moved on from old girls he use to flirt with before our relationship however, he assured me that its just a friend/penpal.

That was a few months ago and then yesterday I was on his computer, he had left his gaming chats up and I had a snoop.

It all seemed innocent, he even mentioned at one point how he cant believe its been almost 10 years since they've starting playing online or when they first started chatting. She even mentioned about her boyfriend and how her boyfriend was asking her 'who's that messging you?' to which my boyfriend replied, "If my girlfriend knew i was talking to you she would probably get angry".

A part of their conversation that upset me was when she mentioned how her boyfriend stopped playing games with her and she now has no one to play with. Sadly, to which my boyfriend replied back, "If i was your boyfriend i would play WoW (which is the game) with you "

Now after seeing all that i am so upset and angry...is this acceptable? Need advice please

If it’s truly innocent, I don’t see a problem.

Four years. Get married. Or leave him.

Geez.... See the post above, OP. ^^^
It's innocent. They talk and play a game.
You need to work on your insecurities.

Personally, I don't see being in a committed relationship as something morally incompatible with talking friendly to someone from the opposite sex.

He has an online BFF. He knows you don't like it.

And now he's ridiculing you to her. And you're snooping on them.



What's left?

Jealousy and insecurity can drive a person insane. I know this firsthand...


Ask yourself, "Who is my BF with?" Is he with you or with her? If he's known her for ten years and known you for four years, do you think, maybe, he likes being with you more?


Accept what you have with your BF. Do not deny him the privilege of associating with others. Make him know that you are the best overall match for him...even if you cannot be the gaming match for him.
