Well now, I am a guy and I agree with you that this was rude and stupid of him to put you off for a computer game. I also am quite familiar with how small stupidities can escalate to major storms, so try if you can to put it into a realistic perspective.

Computer addictions are pretty bad. Worse than tv addictions. I don't have an answer to that one, as I have never had a recovery from it. One thing that helps is if there is computer contention, get another one so you each have one.
