Understanding men.

---

Alright here goes.
If you're a young woman living at your boyfriends(of two years) parents house, would you expect him to come home almost every night?

I work 1.5 hours away, so I don't get home till 8:30pm after an 8 hour day. I have to check with him everyday to fin out if he's coming home. He stays at his grandmothers house playing Video games 5 days a week. He was getting rides home with his mom at the end of the day, but then it slowly started being that he didn't get off work till she had already left town. He says he doesn't have any money to drive his truck home. $15 round trip. If I offer to go to his grandmas for the night, he says "I guess you can, but don't bitch about me playing my game." Why would I want to drive there and not spend time with him after not seeing him all day?

Is it normal for young men to choose video games over there relationship?

And is it normal for a young man to only want sex maybe once a week? Usually with a lot of prompting?

I've been told that it's not normal for a man to not want to come home to there woman almost every night, true, or do they even care.

Men aren't all the same. It's unusual for a young man to only want sex once a week, but perhaps he has an unusually low libido. But it's all unusual, and it does seem like he is not very strongly committed to the relationship. At any rate there is a mismatch between what you want and what he wants, which is a problem.

I agree with Ineligible. It appears that your boyfriend is getting all he wants and needs somewhere else. This does not bode well for your relationship. You should probably consider how important this relationship is to you. It's moving downhill quickly.

@littlebit I would say it's quit normal for many young men of this generation. I don't think it's acceptable, but I sure know many guys who have rocky relationships becasue their video game playing is more important to them then spending quality time with their wife or girlfriend... Just my porspectived.

Sounds like a video game addiction. It is not normal for men to want sex only once a week. Once a day is much more normal, unless they have physiological issues that discourage the act. or maybe mental issues like ED that discourage him.

However, if he's looking at the cost of commuting, i'd give him the benefit of the doubt that financial hardship is putting a strain on the relationship to some degree.

@JTMac I disagree... Each man is different and has his unique sexual drive. Some could have sex 3 times a day if they could and that's normal for them while others can have sex once a week and thats normal for them. I also think the males age has something to do with it too. I believe that each man and his sexual needs are a little different and vary man to man. we're similar, but you can group them all together to say what's normal. Just my opinion

I do agree with you, Roc. "What's normal?" is kind of arbitrary. And there are many males who even have really low sex drive. As far as age, though, sex drive tend to be very high young males around 18 or so. But i've now become aware of a lot of males who actually start getting more horny as they continue to age beyond 50 or so. I see many of them on line, 60's, 70's, & even some in their 80's, discussing how much they self indulge. So I'm not really sure age can actually be a factor.

You want your BF more than he wants you. You are okay for an occasional fuck but you not pretty enough for him to be enthused.

@Worwind Try to play nice please. No ended for name calling or being rude and hurtful!
