Hurt turns to anger as video
games consume boyfriend
DEAR ABB Y: I am tired
of taking a backseat to my
boyfriend’s video game
addiction. He comes home
from work, sits on the
couch and gets lost in his
video games. It has gotten
to the point where he bare
ly speaks to me or even
looks up from his game.
I know he chats with a
lot of people, both male
and female, on these
games. I suspect he has
inappropriate conversations
that he feels are harmless
because he won’t meet
these people in person.
Constantly being ignored
is hurting my feelings. He
never responds to my texts
anymore because he’s so
busy on his game. I’m
starting to feel resentful,
lonely and very angry.
Please advise me on what
to do. — ANGRY IN
OKLAHOMA
DEAR ANGRY: Your
boyfriend may or may not
be a video game addict. If
his conversations online are
"inappropriate," he may be
playing more than one kind
of "game." If he feels that
those conversations are
harmless, he is mistaken
because what he is doing
isn’t healthy for you or the
relationship.
My advice? Give him an
ultimatum: Modify his
behavior or else, and if he
refuses, end the romance
before he damages your
self-esteem. Being ignored
has been known to do that.
Trust me.

DEAR ABBY: We are
having a struggle in our
family, and I’m unsure how
to handle it. Three years
ago, our adult nephew,
"Connor," underwent hor
mone therapy, counseling
and transgender surgery.
She is now our niece
"Cathy." The transforma
tion was successful, and
Cathy is happier than
we’ve ever seen her. We
DEAR ABBY
Jeanne Phillips
loved Connor, and nothing
has changed in our rela
tionship with Cathy. She
has visited us numerous
times, and we have recipro
cated.
The problem is Cathy’s
sister, "Amy." Amy has dis
owned Cathy. She says
Connor "died to her" when
he underwent the gender
reassignment.
Not only is it heartbreak
ing for the whole family,
but I’m finding it increas
ingly difficult to maintain a
relationship with Amy
because of her rigid atti
tude. She boycotts family
reunions and celebrations if
Cathy will be present, even
though family members
have traveled from across
the country to attend.
Amy is now expecting a
baby, and I’m not feeling
very celebratory toward
her. Please advise. —
VERY SAD AUNT IN
WISCONSIN
DEAR AUNT: From
what you have written, it
appears that by distancing
herself from Cathy, Amy is
isolating herself from the
family. I understand that
you may not wish to attend
her baby shower, but if you
don’t, it would be nice to
send something for the
child. Amy may come
around one day, so keep the
door open.
Dear Abby is written by
Abigail Van Buren, also
known as Jeanne Phillips,
and was founded by her
mother, Pauline Phillips.
