Should I ban her?

Mandrina is not very good at video games. She admits to this. She randomly calls to me, “Can you do this?” with some random game I had bought for me to play months ago, but had never had a chance to open. As long as it isn’t Prince of Persia or Ninja Gaiden, I’m unlikely to be upset.

However, even as she acknowledges her low competency at video games, she gets REALLY upset whenever she is getting frustrated. Now, I understand getting frustrated. But hitting my sofa? Yelling randomly (not cursing, mind you)? When she acknowledges that she’s not that good?

Mind you, this is the second night in a row that I’ve gotten stuck watching her play on MY Xbox on the TV she insists is just too big.

I think I should ban her so I can get a turn, and my couch can stay safe.

    If you ban her, though, she’ll never get better at video games.

    Also, you are very lucky to have a girlfriend who appreciates videogames and is willing to play them.

    You’re absolutely right, she is wonderful. Although next time I’m a little tipsy I shouldn’t play for her.

    So the final conclusion is that I’ll just deal with her playing my Xbox. I don’t want to face the complications that might result if I ban her… but sooner or later, it will be my turn!
