Dear Dr.
Everytime the girlfriend and I get into a heated argument. I usually end up escapeing to video games after the fight in order to breathe, but the girlfriend gets even more mad because of this. Now I understand that I could do something else in order to cool me down like : jogging, working out or hitting the bar, but most of these things can give me a chance to cheat and I'm no cheater, but at times like these my mind is almost acceptable to all things.
Don't give me an advice to talk it out with her because that never works(trust me, a woman only wants to hear what they want and a man is always wrong). If I can't do this then I'm afraid the situation could be dire.
there seems to be a lack of: communication / attention / quality time
those things lead to frustration and can be hard to deal with because normally humans just turn away from each other when frustrated. those three things listed above are easy to fix...just do them.
if shes getting mad because ur playing games, its not the games shes mad about, its you turning ur attention to something else and not her...whether if its picking corn or putting up dry wall...she wants attention or she wants the problem to be solved...easil
y fixed, solve the problem before moving on to games.
