Bit of a random thread but here goes...
My boyfriend is in his thirty's, he lives at home, he has hangs out with his parents ALL THE TIME. he plays videogames all night long and he is obsessed with Disney. Like, hanging out at Disneyland.
Is this ok?

It's ok if it's ok to YOU.

Is it bothering you? If it is then talk to him about it

Yes, his interests might differ from the norm, but is that really a bad thing? I think not.

As long as he isn't doing something that hurts another person or directly infringes on their liberties than I see absolutely nothing wrong with what he enjoys and it's rather unfair to judge him for it.

Just my 2c as a 25 year old video game, tech, and anime geek

The only part I'm questioning is hanging out with his parents ALL THE TIME... Are they old, frail, and have 1 foot in the grave, or doesn't he have any friends?

Uummm ok, I see u are in the UK, is he is in CA? You mentioned that he hangs out in Disneyland so this is what I am assuming.

Is this someone u have met online? how long have u known him?

Reason I am asking you these questions is because if u aren't together it will make a big difference as to when u are I assume. He probably has taken up these hobbies because he is single and feels like there is nothing better to do. Idk.

If it bothers you, I think you should talk with him about this..

I don't think there is anything necessarily "wrong" with this (aside from perhaps spending tons of time with his parents, which could be unhealthy) but if his lifestyle doesn't go together with your lifestyle then it may be something to look at. Perhaps you two just aren't compatible, it's worth talking to him about it.

I wouldn't date a man who plays video games all night because when does he sleep and how can he maintain a job if he is up all night? Does this guy work?
Thanks for this!

I don't think there's anything WRONG, really, but as a personal preference I might prefer someone who is interested in interacting with different people, likes getting out and about for various things, and maybe enjoys different things in the world apart from Disney. But that's just a personal preference.

Him playing video games is the least of troubles here. He threw you down stairs? Left you black and blue? Out of 7 meetings he beat you up on 3 occasions? Why do you worry about him playing video games? Are you safe? Please think of your safety
